Abstract: A bread slicer is provided with an input compartment for a loaf of bread and a set of blades designed for cutting a loaf of bread and cooperating with a push block, which enables the loaf to be pushed through the set of blades to an output table. The output table has a bag holder for keeping open a packing bag with the opening facing the set of blades, the push block being arranged to push at least a part of the sliced loaf so as to introduce it at least partially in the packing bag.

Abstract: Bread slicer allowing a loaf of bread (2) to be packed in a bag, comprising a loading compartment (1) which is connected to a receiving compartment (6), a pushing member (5) which allows the bread (2) to be pushed in a movement direction of the bread and means for keeping a packing bag (13) open. The slicer comprises an abutment element (19) for reducing the cross-section of the bag (13) at the location of the abutment element (13) so that the portion (21) of the bag with a reduced cross-section forms an abutment for the end of the sliced bread.

Abstract: A device and a method for cutting a loaf of bread in slices having an input compartment adjacent to a set of parallel oblong blades which can be driven back and forth in their longitudinal direction. A pusher movable between a retracted position in relation to the blades and an end cutting position pushes the bread through the blades. A detector is provided to detect the presence of an object in the access opening of an input compartment which cooperates with the blades' drive to stop the movement of the blades when the presence of an object in the access opening is detected. When the presence of an object in the access opening is detected while the pusher is in its retracted position, the movement of the blades starts and the pusher will be moved from its retracted position to the end cutting position when the object is no longer detected in the access opening.

Abstract: A bread slicer comprising a loading compartment (6) adjacent to the front side (2) which is connected to a receiving compartment (7) situated near the rear side (3) of the bread slicer, an access opening (8) for placing a loaf of bread (16) to be sliced in the loading compartment (6) by a user who is positioned in front of the front side (2), a cutting member to cut slices off the bread (16) as it is moved between said compartments (6,7), a support surface (9) for the bread (16) extending in said compartments (6,7) The support surface (9) is inclined at an angle (?) between 25° and 70° with respect to a horizontal line.

Abstract: The invention concerns a bread slicer with an input compartment (1) for a loaf of bread (2) and a set of blades (5) designed for cutting a loaf of bread (2) and cooperating with a push block (7) which enables the loaf (2) to be pushed through the set of blades (5) to an output table (8). The invention is characterized in that the output table (8) has a bag holder for keeping open a packing bag (10) with the opening (11) facing the set of blades (5), the push block (7) being arranged to push at least a part of the sliced loaf (2) so as to introduce it at least partially in the packing bag (10).

Abstract: A bread slicer includes an input compartment for a loaf of bread to be sliced and an output compartment for the sliced loaf. Blades for slicing the loaf are arranged substantially parallel to one another between the compartments. A thrust means extends at least on the side of the input compartment and permits exertion of a push force on the loaf while the latter is moving through the set of blades by clamping the loaf between the thrust means and the base of the input compartment. The base and the thrust means define a passage in the input compartment for the loaf. The thrust means presents a guiding plate with parallel recesses extending next to each other over the width of the passage. A mobile pusher device allows exertion of a pushing force on the loaf to move the loaf along the passage and through the set of blades.

Abstract: The invention concerns a bread slicer comprising an input compartment (1) for at least one loaf of bread (3) to be sliced and an output compartment (7) for the sliced loaf (3). The slicer has a set of blades (4) for slicing the loaf (3) with blades (6) arranged substantially parallel to one another between said compartments (1,7). A thrust means (9) extends at least on the side of the input compartment (1) and permits to exert a push force on the loaf (3) while the latter is moving through the set of blades (4) by clamping the loaf (3) between the thrust means (9) and the base (2) of the input compartment (1). The base (2) and the thrust means (9) define a passage (11) in the input compartment (1) for the loaf (3).

Abstract: A device for the automated slicing of bread, including a first assembly of bread cutting blades and one supporting frame for said blade assembly, each frame having a substantially rectangular shape and including two longitudinal members arranged substantially parallel to each other and two transverse members arranged substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the two longitudinal elements. Each frame consists of two substantially rectangular single-piece rigid elements assembled together, each rigid element including a portion of each longitudinal member and of each transverse member of the frame having a shape complementary to a corresponding portion of the other rigid element of said frame and being arranged so that said rigid elements impart a three-dimensional structure for said frame together. The frame has a rectangular shape, does not include cohesion irregularities between the members, and is therefore more stable and less subject to deformation.

Abstract: A device 1 for the automated cutting of bread 4 into slices comprising an element 7 driving the bread 4 and a set of blades 8 for slicing the bread 4, the drive element 7 being arranged so as to be moved in a translation movement transversely to the set of blades 8 by a movement means 10 coupled to said drive element 7, between a first retracted position in which the bread 4 to be sliced can be loaded into the device 1 and a second advanced position in which the element 7 driving the bread 4 is adjacent to the set of blades 8 and the sliced bread can be removed from the device 1, the latter also comprising a regulation means 14 arranged to automatically regulate the power supplied by the movement means 10 according to the speed and/or acceleration of the translation movement of the element 7 driving the bread 4 during the operation of slicing it.

Abstract: A machine for cutting bread into slices, comprising a crumb deflector situated beneath the cutting device in order to receive the crumbs as they fall from the cutting device during the cutting of a loaf and guide them toward a crumb-collecting bin. In an advantageous embodiment, the crumb deflector comprises a front part that slopes down toward the crumb-collecting bin and a rear part that extends to form the rear wall of a compartment. The zone of the machine housing the drive and mechanical transmission members is thus separated from the crumb-receiving zone and is thus kept clean and protected from showers of crumbs.

Abstract: A bread cutting machine provided with a safety device comprising mechanical linking means arranged between the adjacent edges of the entry and exit tables. The mechanical linking means has a first state when the two tables are in position and a second state when one of the tables is removed. When the mechanical linking means is in its second state, it acts on means actuating a position switch so as to prevent the machine from operating.
