ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are tools (10, 60, 100, 200) and (300) used to hold a bagel (22) upright while being sliced from edge to edge with a blade (28) of a knife (30). Each tool (10, 60,100, 200, and 300) includes a base (12) having a top surface (12a) adapted to support the bagel (22) by an edge of the bagel (22). An upright support plate (14) is removably mounted to the base (12) and has opposed lateral sides and opposed faces (14a and 14b). A pair of knife blade guides (16 and 18) are attached to the base (12) opposite each other, each guide being positioned near one of the opposed sides of the upright support plate (14) and spaced apart to provide therebetween a cutting zone (24). Tool (300)is adapted to slice both bagels and a loaf of bread, and it has two cutting zones (24 and 302). Positioning elements (102)regulates the thickness of the sliced segments of the bagel (22) and bread. These positioning elements (102) interact with the upright support plate (14)by removal of the support plate and reversing the position of the support plate by remounting in a reverse orientation. Consequently, the positions of the faces (14a and 14b) are reversed, with the one face that was initially next to the cutting zone (24) changing its position and the other face being moved next to the cutting zone (24). In the case of tool 300), the reversal of the support plate (14) changes the faces with respect to both cutting zones (24 and 300) The cutting zones (24 and 302) may include the surface (24a and 302a) respectively, comprising a polymeric material that resists being cut by the blade (28) of the knife (30).
