Bread and Meat Slicer;` and Ifdo hereby de- Clare that the following isa fulland exact deaceompanying tgu'i-es or drawings respectively marked and lettered, making a part of this specification. y

v Figurel is a to'p v'iew of the Slicer, showing the knife A, the clamp c, andthe plate B attached thereto. Fig. Z-is a side elevated view of the same, the red line showingthe position pivot attaching it to the shank, and the dark down on the board or table.- Fig. 3 is a front end view ofthe saine, showin g the shank h attached to the plate and secured in the clamp, and also the corrugated yedges-of the plate. Fig. 4, d'is'a section through`the clamp. Fig. 5, e vis a Section ofthe clampframe removed. Fig. 6 gis an elevation of the-clamp-plate.

Now, in order to make others better understand and use my invention', I will proceed to describe its several parts and mode of use.

.By referring to Figs.` l and 2 in the accompa'nyin g drawings it will be'perceived that the slicer is but a common ycarving-knife, A, with,

suitable for slicing bread or meat may be used. ln` Figs. 1, 2, and 3, is exhibited the plate B, which guides theV knife and supports-the slice out off. f lt is made of steel or any other metal or material suitable forth'e purpose, and must be of suiicient'thickness to make it stii' and, in order to secure the samestiiihess with less thicknessof' plate, I corrugate the edges the twofold effect of givingstitlhess'a'nd rendering the edges less liable `to scratch. The end ofthe plate next-.to the shank is slotted about three-quarters of an inch to allow the.

riveted to the shank. in the manner seen in Fig. 3, not rmly,( though it may be,) but so as to alloysT thesameto take the positions as .Th-@neet .if-this is, when the sneer is used,

`the lower edge .of the platel falls below the blade of the knife,'as seen in the red line, and. when it falls on the board, as seen iu the dark line, the knife having .passed through f' the bread, it secures. the slice,cut ed, which, by turning the. Slicer horizon tally, may be laid on its place of reception without applyingthe hand-toit. I

f The shank. h may be fastened to the 4plate f on either or both sides of it. It is made ot steel, or other material answering the purpose, and lis bent'at right angles, as seen in Figs. land 3, where it is fastened onto the plate, as before described. The clamp d, and clamp- 'frame removed, E, may be readily understood by referring to Figs.. .sand- 5, Reference may be had also to Fig. 6 .for adescription of the clamp-plate g, ythough the eifect ot' it is to secure more firmly all the parts of thev clamp and the blade.

Now, in order to prepare the slicer for use, I elevate the screw of the clamp4 and adjust, the clamp-plate inits place. I then pass the bladeof the knife' through the clam p, pressing the-clamp-plate down upon the back of the knife. l then pass the shank through the ,1. clamp and bring downthe screw to secure the same, and the Slicer is ready for use.

Slicer in the mode above described, or sub-V stantially thesame.
