Claim Text:
1. A cheese slicer ( 1 ) comprising: a handle ( 2 ) having a first end ( 35 ) and a second end ( 13 ); a guiding plate ( 5 ) having a proximal end ( 6 ) pivotally connected to the first end ( 35 ) of the handle ( 2 ), and a distal end ( 7 ); a slicing plate ( 3 ) having a slicing blade ( 9 ), wherein the slicing blade ( 9 ) and the distal end ( 7 ) of the guiding plate ( 5 ) together define a gap ( 8 ) as slice thickness for an item to be sliced; a linkage ( 10 ) accommodated in the handle ( 2 ) and movably resting against the guiding plate ( 5 ) so that the movement of the linkage ( 10 ) enables the guiding plate ( 5 ) to pivot around the first end ( 35 ) of the handle ( 2 ) relative to the slicing blade ( 9 ) thereby to provide variable slice thickness for the item to be sliced; and an actuator assembly in operative connection with the linkage ( 10 ) to move the linkage ( 10 ) on the guiding plate ( 5 ).
