Abstract
A temporary cover for the slicing knife of a slicing machine which is preferably fabricated from a plastic material. The cover includes a substantially circular cover section having a flange extending from the peripheral edge of the cover section. The flange is dimensioned such that it surrounds and shields the cutting edge of the slicing knife from inadvertent contact. The cover further includes a retention pin and a spring-loaded retractable plunger which removably retains the cover to the slicing knife. Preferably, the cover also includes at least one handle which assists in installing and removing the cover from the slicing knife, as well as indicia for providing proper rotational orientation of the cover in relation to the slicing machine.
