ABSTRACT:
A bread slicer using endless blades, in which finger holders holding fingers are provided for guiding the endless blades so as to position the blades quickly and accurately. A plurality of endless blades are stretched between a pair of drums and fingers are provided, each finger having engagement pieces for guiding each of the endless blades in engagement therewith so as to position the blades, and each finger is held on a finger holder. The finger holders 1 are slidably positioned on guide bars 2. A spacer shaft is disposed parallel to the guide bars, and rows of plural spacers which are different in terms of width are attached on the spacer shaft. By rotating the spacer shaft, selected rows of spacers can be made to intervene between the finger holders 1. The spacer shaft 5 is rotated after being shifted by an air cylinder. By clamping the finger holders from both sides thereof so as to be fixed after the spacers are positioned to intervene between the finger holders 1, the finger holders are held in place, with intervals between the holders corresponding to the width of the spacers. Thus, the endless blades are guided by the spacers kept at such intervals, and a loaf of bread is sliced in a desired manner.
