ABSTRACT:
A hand-held jig for confining a bagel, or like object, while it is being sliced by a knife blade and a method of using the jig are disclosed. The jig comprises two identical structures that are joined together by a specialized hinge. The two structures are mirror images of each other and each comprises a circular cage (for loosely surrounding the rim of a bagel) that is attached to the hinge on one side and to a radially extending handle on the opposite side, and clamps in front of the cage for retaining and gripping the bagel and preventing its movement. The hinge is composed of material not injurious to a knife blade when it strikes the hinge, and is so constructed as to be fixed with respect to one of the structures and yet allow rotation of the other structure with respect to the hinge.
The process of using the jig comprises rotating apart the two structures, placing a bagel within one cage, bringing the structures together, clamping the handles together with one hand, inserting a knife blade above the bagel within the gap formed between the two structures with the other hand, and moving the knife blade from above the bagel towards the hinge (away from the gripping hand) to effect the partitioning of the bagel.
In the preferred embodiment, the structures are made of thick metallic wire that is bent into the appropriate shapes. The hinge and handle inserts are made of hardwood.
