ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for unwrapping an article (e.g., bread) wrapped in a package having a first end and a second end. The inventive apparatus includes a first mechanism for holding the first end of the package, a second mechanism for at least partially opening the second end of the package, and a third mechanism for removing the article from the package. In a specific implementation, package is supported on a conveyor, the retaining clip on the package is engaged by a guide and the package is moved into contact with a blade which cuts substantially through the package. The package is held by the guide while the article falls from the package due to the effect of gravity.
