Abstract
A household slicing machine wherein a disc-shaped knife can be driven to rotate in a first vertical plane and a stop for the foodstuff to be sliced is mounted in the housing in a second vertical plane which is parallel to the first plane. The stop is shiftable at right angles to the first plane to change the thickness of the slices and the adjusting device which shifts the stop relative to the knife has a pair of coaxial sleeves rotatably mounted on the stop and defining a helical path having several sections with different leads. A stationary carrier is provided on a working platform in front of the support and has a follower which extends into the helical path. The extent to which the stop moves relative to the plane of the knife in response to rotation of the sleeves through a given angle depends on that section of the helical path which is being tracked by the follower so that the operator can effect highly accurate or coarser adjustments of the distance between the plane of the stop and the plane of the knife by rotating the sleeves through one and the same angle. The follower tracks a path section of less pronounced lead when the two planes are close to each other.
