Abstract
An improved product pusher for a cutting apparatus. The pusher slides downward along an upright receptacle to urge a comestible product, such as meat through a magazine movable past a cutter of the apparatus. The pusher has a catch for automatically retaining it at an upper end of the receptacle to facilitate loading the magazine. It also has two bottom surface portions with product engaging projections. In one arrangement the two surface portions are in a fixed angular relationship and a spring-biased stripper plate is beneath one of the surface portions, extending in a common plane with the other surface portion. In another arrangement the two surface portions are relatively pivoted and securable in either an angular relationship or co-planar.
