  • Patent number: 5287784
    Abstract: A bread slicing device designed specifically for use with cylindrical shaped loaves produced by home automatic bread baking machines. Consists of two parts: a clear cover with built in knife holder and a bread slicing holder. The bread slicing holder is rigid, monolithic in construction, featuring two opposing parallel slicing guide side walls which extend vertically from the base of the unit along two lateral outside edges. The lower two-thirds of the side walls interior surfaces are concave forming with the concave bottom a tapered sharply textured cylindrical cavity. Bread is inserted into slicing holder by way of a wedged shaped entry chute. The chute momentarily compresses the bread as it is inserted into the top of the bread slicing holder. Bread loaf then expands, firmly securing it into the cylindrical cavity. The slicing guide side walls are divided by a series of evenly spaced parallel vertical slots. These slots guide the cutting implement permitting accurate and consistent slices to be produced.
