Abstract
A bacon slicing or skinning machine has a housing for a set of conveyors including a traction wheel located beneath an elongated path for the products which are to be skinned or sliced. A blade holder is pivotably mounted at a level above the path adjacent the traction wheel on the heads of two independently movable arms which flank the path and carry a pivot bearing for the holder. The bearing is located in front of a device which limits the extent of movement of the holder and its blade from a starting position to a working position in response to engagement of the cutting edge of the blade by an oncoming product. Such device can comprise a pintle which extends with play into recesses of the arms, or an eccentric on at least one of the arms, such eccentric being tracked by a rearwardly extending follower of the holder. Springs are provided to permanently pull the arms downwardly so as to urge the holder to the starting position. The blade is inclined rearwardly and downwardly so that it is tilted by the oncoming product to thereby cause the holder to pivot about the axis of the bearing and to assume its working position.
