(54) Slicer


(57) A slicer comprises a frame having a driven slicing knife mounted thereon, and a table for supporting the product to be sliced. The table is movable parallel to the slicing knife. A pusher assembly is connected to the table in a manner pivotable about an axis perpendicular to the slicing knife and is movable along said axis by means of a grip. The rig includes a pusher plate and a guard between the pusher plate and the grip. The pusher plate is mounted at a distance from the guard so as to ensure a safe distance between the guard and the slicing knife also when the pusher plate is approaching the slicing knife.
