  • Slicers having the above-mentioned characteristics are, for example, described in the document EP 3 102 376 .
  • This document describes a slicer with a support surface for the bread to be cut which is slightly inclined with respect to a vertical direction.
  • the receiving compartment is adjacent to the front side of the slicer and the loading compartment is closer to the rear side than the receiving compartment.

  • the bread is cut into slices by a circular blade when it is moved from the receiving compartment to the loading compartment located on the front side of the slicer.
  • the user With such a horizontal slicer, the user must lean relatively far forward to retrieve the cut bread from the loading compartment. This is not optimal from an ergonomic point of view and it is sometimes cumbersome to put the cut bread in a bag.
  • the cutting quality of such a horizontal slicer is not always satisfactory.
  • the invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and propose a slicer which makes it possible to obtain an optimized cutting quality at the same time as improved ergonomics for the user of the slicer.
  • the above-mentioned support surface is inclined at an angle ( ⁇ ) of between 25° and 70° relative to a horizontal line which extends perpendicular to the front side of the slicer.

  • the slicer has a lateral guide surface adjacent to the support surface.
  • This guide surface extends substantially transversely relative to the support surface and parallel to said direction of movement in order to allow the bread to be guided during its movement between the compartments.
  • the support surface is inclined between said lateral sides relative to the horizontal so that a loaf, which is placed on the support surface, rests against said guide surface.
  • the bagging pallet has a side flange connecting to the guide surface in the pallet receiving position.

  • This slicer comprises a loading compartment connected to a receiving compartment and the loading compartment is adjacent to said front side while the receiving compartment is near said rear side.
  • This method is characterized in that the bread is moved along said direction of movement inclined at an angle ( ⁇ ) of between 25° and 70°, in particular between 30° and 60°, relative to a horizontal line extending perpendicular to the front side of the slicer.
  • This angle ( ⁇ ) is, for example, between 35° and 55°.
  • the bread is received by a bagging pallet following the movement of the bread from the receiving compartment to the loading compartment in said direction of movement.
  • This pallet extends substantially in said direction of movement when receiving the bread.

This double movement allows the movable support 13 to be kept in contact with the cut bread when the bagging pallet 15 is moved to its bagging position, as shown in figure 7 and 8 . After the bagging pallet has reached its bagging position, the movable support 13 is moved to release the loaf and the bagging pallet 15 as indicated by the arrows 28 in the figure 8 .

  • the fingers 31 of the movable support 13 extend through the recesses 30 of the pallet 15. This allows that said second part 26 of the movable support 13 can move above the plane of the support surface 9 while said first part moves, at least partially, below this plane. Thus, the fingers 31 of the movable support 13 are moved along the oblong recesses 30 of the bagging pallet 15.
  • said first part 25 of the movable support is moved transversely relative to the plane of the support surface 9, as indicated by the arrow 32 in the figure. figure 7 , and simultaneously the drive block 27 is driven towards the cutting plane 17, as indicated by the arrow 33. In this way, it is ensured that the movable support 13 maintains contact with the cut bread 16 to hold it between this support 13 and the stop plate 23 during the movement of the bagging pallet 15.
  • Said second part 26 of the movable support 13 has a first bearing surface 34 which extends transversely relative to the surface of the base 24 of the bagging pallet 15 when the latter is in its receiving position.
  • This first bearing surface 34 gradually connects to a second bearing surface 35 which extends at least approximately transversely relative to the base 24 when the pallet 15 is in its bagging position and the loaf is held between this second bearing surface 35 and the stop plate 23.

  • This edge 36 serves as a support for the bread to prevent it from slipping off the pallet following the inclination according to the angle ⁇ between the lateral sides of the slicer 1.
  • this lateral edge 36 connects to said guide surface 14. Therefore, if a loaf 16 to be cut is placed on the bagging pallet 15, when the latter is in the receiving position, this loaf can slide against the edge 36 and the guide surface 14 extending in the extension of the edge 36.
  • the flange 36 detaches from the guide surface 14 and a distance is created between the guide surface 14 and the flange 36. This distance allows a bag 29 to slide onto the wrapping pallet 15 to wrap the bread 16 when the latter is in the wrapping position.

  • FIGS. 26 to 31 show another embodiment of the invention, in which the paddle 15 is moved about a rotation axis 19 which is close to the front side 2 of the slicer. Consequently, the end of the loaf 16 which is directed towards the cutting plane 17, or which is furthest from the user, is moved upwards when the paddle is moved to its bagging position. To pack the loaf 16 in a bag 29, the user therefore slides a bag 29 over this end 37 of the cut loaf 16.
  • FIG. 32 to 36 Yet another variant of the slicer according to the invention is shown in the figures 32 to 36 .
  • This embodiment is, among other things, different from the previous embodiments by the presence of a support surface 9 which descends from the front side 2 to the rear side 3 of the slicer.
  • the support surface 9 is ascending from the front side 2 to the rear side 3 of the slicer.
  • the sliced bread is moved from the receiving compartment 7 to the loading compartment 6 by the action of the movable support 13 which pushes against the sliced bread, as shown in figure 34 , until the bread is completely on the bagging pallet 15.
  • bagging pallet 15 is subjected to a translation together with the movable support 13 to move the pallet 15 from its receiving position to the bagging position, as shown in figure 35 .
  • the bagging pallet 15 may include, for example, oblong recesses that extend next to each other, as shown in Figures 10a, 10b and 19 .
  • this bag 29 can be slid along the recesses next to the bread 16.
  • the size of the bag can be chosen according to the measurements of the bread.
