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.
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.

Bread slicer with a thrust means and a pusher device
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.

VERTICAL MACHINE FOR CUTTING AND STACKING SLICES OF A LOAF OF BREAD AND CORRESPONDING METHOD
The invention relates to a machine for automatically cutting into slices a loaf of bread (3) or an equivalent foodstuff, comprising a loading compartment (1) and a receiving compartment (4), a cutting device (7) and a supporting surface (2) for the loaf of bread (3) extending into the two compartments. A first slot (5) is provided in the supporting surface (2) between the aforementioned compartments (1, 4), through which said cutting device (7) can move in order to cut slices of bread (3). A guide surface (11) is provided which forms a wall of the loading compartment (1) and extends substantially transversally relative to the supporting surface (2). Said machine is characterised in that it comprises a bearing surface (16) extending into the receiving compartment (4), aligned with the guide surface (2). Said bearing surface is followed by a sliding surface (17) forming a flaring of a receiving compartment (4) which allows the free-fall of a cut slice (15) of the loaf of bread (3).

B26D 7/00 - Details of apparatus for cutting, cutting-out, stamping-out, punching, perforating, or severing by means other than cutting
The invention relates to a machine and to a method for cutting a loaf of bread (2) into slices, according to which a loaf of bread (2) is placed against a supporting surface (3) in a first compartment (1), and then is moved downwards towards a second compartment (5). During the movement, the loaf of bread (2) is cut into slices between the first and second compartment while the cut portion of the loaf of bread (2) is supported by a mobile support (4) moving at a speed substantially equal to the speed of movement of the loaf of bread (2) at least until the loaf has been completely cut. After the loaf of bread has been placed against said supporting surface (3), the machine grips the top end (9) of the loaf of bread (2) via hanging means (7) and said end (9) of the loaf of bread is held against gravity during the downward movement thereof while the slices are cut.
The invention relates to a machine for automatically slicing a loaf of bread (4), including: a loading compartment (1) and a receiving compartment (2); a cutting device (6) making it possible to cut slices from the loaf of bread (4); a supporting surface (3) for the loaf of bread (4); a slot (5) provided in the supporting surface (3) between the compartments (1, 2) through which the cutting device (6) can move following a to-and-fro movement in order to cut slices from the loaf of bread (4); and at least one mobile closing member (11, 12, 18) making it possible to close the free portion of the slot (5) as the cutting device (6, 7) moves forward. The surface of the closing member (11, 12, 18) is convex in the direction of movement of the loaf of bread (4) and on the side of the aforementioned compartments (1, 2) so that the loaf of bread (4) can slide over said convex surface during the movement thereof between the compartments.

MACHINE FOR AUTOMATICALLY CUTTING AND WRAPPING A LOAF OF BREAD
The invention relates to a machine and a method for automatically slicing a loaf of bread (3), according to which a loaf of bread (3) is moved in a more or less vertical direction of movement (4) from a first compartment (1) to a second compartment (2), the loaf of bread (3) being sliced during the movement thereof between the first and second compartments in a cutting plane extending more or less transversely with respect to the direction of movement (4). A strip (9) of a wrapping material is supplied to the compartment situated lower down and a loop of this strip (9) is formed, the slices of the loaf of bread (3) being lowered into the lower compartment in order to receive them in the loop, and the opposite side edges (15a, 15b, 16a, 16b) of the loop being joined together so as to form a bag (20) for the cut loaf of bread.

DEVICE FOR THE AUTOMATED SLICING OF BREAD, HAVING IMPROVED BLADE-SUPPORTING FRAMES
The invention relates to a device for the automated slicing of bread, including at least a first assembly (4) of bread cutting blades and at least one first supporting frame (5) for said blade assembly, each supporting 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 a first (5a) and a second (5b) 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 that of a homologous 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. Such a frame has a correct rectangular shape and does not include cohesion irregularities between the members thereof, unlike frames of the prior art, and is therefore more stable and less subject to deformation.
