摘要

A loaf slicing machine includes a cutting blade (30) arranged to rotate about a center axis thereof while moving around an orbital axis to thereby cut the loaf (18) cyclically, a feed member for intermittently advancing the loaf (18) toward the cutting blade (30) and extending perpendicularly to the cutting blade (30), and a guide (26,90,120,150,236) member disposed between the feed member and a path of the cutting blade (30) for guiding the loaf (18). In order to hold the loaf (18), an abutment plate (78) is provided which has a surface spaced from the edge of the cutting blade (30) toward a direction of advance of the loaf (18) for permitting the end of the loaf (18) to abut on that surface during each cutting cycle and of which rotational center is aligned with the orbital axis, the abutment plate (78) being arranged to rotate sychronously with the cutting blade (30). An opening (82) is formed through the abutment plate at a position adjacent the cutting blade (30) for permitting slices as cut to be transferred through the opening (82).
