However, in this apparatus, the brush is basically reciprocated and applied in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the bread is transported, so that the brush is applied to the entire surface of the bread including the upper side and the lower side in the transport direction. On the other hand, the liquid agent could not be uniformly applied.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to apply a polishing oil almost uniformly to the entire surface including the side of the bread. An object of the present invention is to provide a polisher oil application device for bread.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a glazing oil application device for bread which can prevent contamination of a working environment by glazing oil and can make it hygienic.
