Abstract
A food slicer includes a feeder for feeding a lump of food in one direction, an end detector for detecting an end portion of the lump of food fed by the feeder, a cutter for cutting the lump of food from its leading end into slices, and slice receivers arranged for advancing to and retracting from a dropping path of the slices released from the cutter. A controller is responsive to a detection signal of the end detector for controlling the advancing and retracting movements of the slice receivers.
