Abstract
A household slicing machine wherein a disc-shaped knife is rotatable in a vertical plane in response to starting of an electric motor as a result of depression of a trip which is mounted in the housing of the slicing machine. The trip can be depressed only when a detachable guard for the knife is held in an intermediate position in which the guard and an abutment for the foodstuff to be sliced define a gap wide enough for movement of the foodstuff into the range of the rotating knife. The guard causes a spring-biased blocking device to prevent depression of the trip when the guard is shifted to a position in which it cooperates with the abutment to prevent access to the knife as well as when the guard is actually detached or is held in a position in which it is detachable from the housing.
