For example it may then be employed to trim the rind from pieces of bacon or to cut the crust from bread, sandwich loaves and the like. In order to prevent any possible slipping of the supporting member G in'any adjusted position, the member G may be provided with a plurality of notches G one or more of which may be in engagement with oneor more correspondingly shaped opposed projections G integral with the boss or bearing member G on the carriage E.

.I also providea pusher plate indicated as H which is provided with the handle Laterally extending from saidhandle are the arms H to which are secured the guide pins H which penetrate apertures H in the lugs H extending downwardly from the members G and G respectively. Itwill be observed that this pusher plate is fully operative at all positions of the member G.

It will be realized that whereas I have described and shown apractical and operative device, nevertheless many changes might be made in the size, shape, number and'dlsposition of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention. I therefore wish my description'and drawings to be taken as in a broad sense il'lustrative and diagrammatic rather than as'lim'iting me to my speclfic showing. In particular I .Wish-it to be understood that in illustrating the support pivoted to the carriage'I employ such a pivoted support as an'example of my preferred soluproblem and not as limiting me specifically to the use of a pivoted support.
