DEFINITION

Classification: 83/707

(under subclass 703) Device wherein the infeed means moves the work back and forth in a straight line path past a cutting zone, said back and forth movement constituting a cycle of work movement, wherein one complete cut is produced during each such cycle, and including a cutting tool at said zone having a cutting plane which is parallel to the direction of said work movement.

(1) Note. These devices are generally known in the art as "slicers".

(2) Note. The infeed means is usually referred to as a "work-support" or a "work-carriage".

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

717+, for a "slicer" wherein the work is moved perpendicularly toward the plane of cut solely by the force of gravity upon the work.
