T0 at whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, LAWRENCE L. STEVENS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, haveiinvented a new and useful Potato Slicer and Cutter, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in machines for slicing and cutting potatoes, other vegetables, and other articles of food; and the objects of myimprovement are, first, to provide the parts adjustable and easily operated; second, to make the parts easily closed or extended; third, to afford facilities in the accomplishment of a plurality of results, and, fourth, to enhance the convenience in the operation. I attain these objects by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of the machine closed, the sliding parts lying one over the other. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the slicer opened and extended to its full length. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the under side of the slicer closed, the movable parts one over-the other. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line y y of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view on line w 00 of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 6 is a view in cross-section on line a: no in the direction of the arrows, the cutter-knives in position for cutting the plain slice. Fig. 7 is a View in cross-section looking in the direction of the arrows, the cutter-knives in position for making the shoestring cut. Fig. 8 is a perspective view, some of the parts of the slicer in section and in place for ma'kingwhat is known to the trade as shoestring out. Fig. 9 is a perspective view, parts of the slicer in sec tion and in position, with a portion of a potato in place thereon, ready to be cut into what is known as the fancy out. Fig. 10 is a view in perspective, parts of the slicer in section, a portion of apotato thereon ready to be out into what is familiarly known as the French fry. tive, parts in section and in position for cutting plain slice. Fig. 12 is a front view in elevation of the cutter-knives, and Fig. 13 is a side elevation of the same.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Fig. 11 is a view in perspec- The letter A refers to the stationary bedplate, preferably rectangular in form. The free end orwell portion A, which forms about one-half of the stationary plate, is recessed or cut out, forming a rectangular well a.
c 0 represents the'side walls of the well a, and c" o the ends of the well, and rising from the side walls 0 c are two ridges or ledges e e, which extend nearly the entire length ofthe side walls 0 c of the well a. The end of the well a adjacent to the slatted portion A of the stationary bed-plate A is walled up higher than the ridges or ledges e 6 upon the sides of the well a by means of the reversible backstop E, which is composed of a body portion F, extending across the end of the well a, and resting upon the sides 0 c of the well at the rear ends of the two ridges or ledges e e. Said back-stop E is provided with a rear-extending ear E, having a hole therein, through which a screw-bolt E passes and through the stationary parts A of the bed-plate A, and on the screw-threaded end thereof the thumbnut E firmly holds the reversible back-stop E, as shown in Figs. 5 and 7 of the drawings, to the stationary portion A of the bed-plate A. The head of the screw-bolt E is countersunk into the under face of the end fof the slatted portion A of the bed-plate. The slatted portion A upon the rear frame thereof, f, and upon its under face has cast the downward-extending bracket F,provided with a flat horizontal portion F vertically perforated and screw-threaded at f, through which perforation the thumb-screw f carrying thereon the washer f whereby the stationary bed-plate A by means of the two rearwardly-extending lipsf is firmly clasped to any suitable article of kitchen furniture or to a projecting ledge of the kitchen or to any other suitable article provided for steadily and firmly holding the slicer in place while it is operated. I preferably cast or 0th erwise make all. the parts hereinbefore mentioned in one piece, except the reversible back-stop E, as shown in Figs. 5 and 7 of the drawings, the thumb-screw, nut, and washer f", used for clamping the stationary bed-plate A to an article of furniture or any suitable holding device.
The open spaces g g in the slatted portion A of the bed-plate A are made as shown in order to lessen the weight and to save material in the construction of my improvement. On the under side or face of the bed-plate A are two projecting ledges G G, extending the entire length of the well and slatted portion A and A of the bed-plate, and in these ledges G G are horizontal grooves g g, in which the movable cutter-handle plate B is reciprocated by means of the handle B. II refers to the strengthening-rib cast on the under face of the end frame f of the slatted portion A and on the said end frame f the bracket F is cast.
The cutter-handle plate 13 is made or cast in one piece, and it is composed of two sections B, of which the handle 13 forms a part, and the well portion B To the rear end of the handle portion or section B and seated in a recess 1) thereof and extending from side to side of the handle portion B the cutterblade I) is securely fastened by means of screws or other suitable devices. B refers to the well portion of the handle-plate B and is laterally bounded by two flat ledges B B which contain longitudinal grooves or ways B B and projecting downwardly, as illustrated in Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the drawings. From the said ledges B B depend two lugs CC. Saidlugsalsocontainhorizontalgrooves or ways, as shown at B B in which grooves or ways B B and B B the well-bottom plate K, carrying the cutter-knives 7s 7c, is adjustably secured. To the under face of the wellbottom plate K, near its front end, by means of a screw-threaded bolt and the thumbnut k the cutter-knives are adjustably secured. The blades of these cutter-knives project upwardly through serrations 70 in the front edge of the well-bottom plate K. The heads L L of the cutter-knives have rear extensions m m, vertically perforated, through which perforations the screw-bolt k passes, and the thu1nb-nut 70 clamps the heads L L of the cutter-knives firmly to the under face at the front end of the well-bottom plate K. The perforated washer 70 is inserted between the plate K and the cutter-head L, as shown in Fig.9 of the drawings, whereby the fancy slice is produced.
\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In slicing-machines, the recessed stationary plate having grooves upon the under face thereof throughout the entire length of said plate, the cutter-handle plate carrying the cutter-blade and the reversible stop secured to said stationary plate.

3. The recessed bed-plate having longitudinal grooves upon the under face thereof, the reversible stop removably secured to said bedplate, the cutter-handle plate carrying the cross-cutter blade, the cutter-handle plate provided with one or more series of longitudinal ways below the upper face thereof, a wellbottom plate carrying a series of adjustable knives and adapted to slide longitudinally in said series of ways in the cutter-handle plate.
at. In slicing and cutting machines, the recessed stationary bed-plate provided with longitudinal grooves upon the under face thereof and extending substantially the entire length of said plate, the removable and reversible stop secured to said bed-plate, the cutter-handle plate-carrying the cross-cutter blade and having one or more series of longitudinal ways below the upper face thereof, a well-bottom plate provided with serrations or slots in the front edge thereof, said well-bottom plate carrying a series of adjustable cutter-knives adapted to operate in said slots.
5. The potato slicing and cutting machine comprising the recessed stationary bed-plate having the clamping-bracket at the rear end thereofandcastintegral therewith, said plate provided with grooves upon the under side thereof and extending substantially the entire length of said plate, the reversible stop removably secured to said plate, the cutterhandle plate carrying the cutter-blade adapted to slide in said grooves, the said cutterhandle plate provided with one or more series of horizontal ways below the upper face thereof, a well-bottom plate having open-ended slots or serrations at the front edge thereof, the said well-bottom plate carrying one or more series of cutter-knives adjustably secured thereto and adapted to slide longitudinally in said horizontal ways.
