  • Automatic self-adjusting and self-centering bagel slicing method and apparatus
    Patent number: 5690013
    Abstract: An automatic bagel slicer includes a transport mechanism with spring loaded clamping panels for securely holding a bagel in a cutting attitude with respect to a horizontally disposed reciprocating cutting edge. A detent plate, that is mounted for limited vertical movement on the transport mechanism, has a contour that controls the opening and closing of the clamping panels in a coordinated manner as the transport mechanism is driven up and down. The sliced bagel is automatically released when the transport mechanism is at the lower part of its travel. The cutting edge is always concealed, thus precluding any danger to the user.
