DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SLICING GRANULAR
MATERIAL SUCH AS CAKE
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention is in the general field of culinary art6, and relate6 to the preparation and pre6entation of de66ert cakes. Nore specifically the pre6ent invention i8 in the field of des6ert cake6 comprising a 6ingle or multiple layer cake 6eparated by creamy filling and optionally coated on the exterior of 6uch de~6erts by rich coating6.
BACRGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Slicing of crumbly food ~uch a6 cake in single or many layers is difficult in the co~mercial area of re~taurant6, one of the offering6 which can give a restaurant an excellent rating is the presentation of de66ert6. While des6erts are numerou6 in number, one of the mo6t critically evaluated i6 that compri6ing multiple layer6 6eparated by favorable filling6 and generally coated with an identical material coating or a coating which complements the filling.

When preparing cakes, e6pecially the continental variety, it i6 nece66ary to 6eparate the cake after baking in the oven at lea6t by divi6ion or into several horizontal layer6, in order to apply the cream or other filling. It i4 de6irable that the6e 6aid layer6 be fairly thin, uniform and straight to make distribution of filling even, and to improve the appearance of finished cake. Due to the fragile and crumbling nature of cake6, difficultie6 are normally encountered when carrying out thi6 cutting operation, even by experienced pa6try cooks.

~Z77869 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a device for cutting granular material such as a baked cake, the device comprising a base assembly and a cutter assembly adjustably held by the base assembly. The base assembly is slidably supported on a work surface for holding material to be sliced and the cutter assembly includes a cutter means secured to one end of a cutting line and adapted to cut a peripheral groove in the material to be cut in a plane parallel to the work surface at a predetermined adjustable distance therefrom, by the movement of the base assembly around the material to be cut.
The arrangement is such that the line trailing the cutter means is located within the groove and other end of the line terminates in means to be grasped by a user to enable completion of the cut by applying force to the line to cut through the material to be sliced. A method of cutting granular material such as a baked cake is also provided.
The pre6ent invention compri~e~ cutter which can be ~d~u6tably positioned vertically within a body h~ving mean6 to ad~u6tably 6ecure the cutter at the de~ired po6itlon or pos$tion~. The cuttcr ha6 a fine nylon or wire fil~ment ~ttached at one end to the cutter, the other end terminating ~round me~n~ which the u~er'6 hand can gr~6p. A method of cuttlng ~ cake 1~ o provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to Figs. 1-3, the tool con6i6t6 of two main parts, the cutter as6embly 2 and the ba6e a66embly 1. The ba6e a66embly is a cylindrical with a hole 3 down the centre to accommodate the cutter a66embly 2. A slot 7 i6 provided on the 6ide of cylinder parallel with 6aid hole 3 to enable a portion of cutting assembly 2 to emerge from body of cylinder and al60 function6 as a guide for the lug Il which 6ecureE blade 12. The upper portion of cylinder I
contain6 a threaded 6crew 5 which i6 u6ed to hold the cutting a66embly at th- correct predetermined height.
~s, ~
~i -7~869 The cutter a6sembly 2 i6 a cylindrical rod made to be a æliding fit in the hole 3 of the cylinder 1. The top part of rod i6 formed with a knob 9 to provide a mean6 for gasping it by hand in order to 61ide it up or down the hole 3. A groove 10 i6 al60 provided to 6erve as 6torage for a length of thin monofilament nylon fishing line 14 which will be referred to from here on as the nylon line. Attached to the bottom portion of rod 2 i6 a lug 11 having attached at it6 outer end a cutting blade 12 made 60 that it protrude6 from the 610t 7 on the 6ide of and parallél with bottom of cylinder 1. The cutting edge 13 of the cutting blade 12 i6 6errated. Nylon line 14 i6 attached to the outer tip of cutting blade 12, the other end of the nylon line being 6ecured to a 6hort dowel 15 to facilitate finding and holding it.
In operation, the cake 30 to be cut i6 placed on a 6mooth 6urface like a kitchen tabletop. By moving the cutter a66embly 2 up and down in 610t 7, the de6ired cutting height i6 6elected, then the a66embly 2 i6 6ecured in that po6$tion with locking 6crew 5. The nylon line 14 i6 unravelled from groove 10 and i6 left loo~e to one 6ide.
Referring now to Fig6. 4-6, with one hand on top of the cake to 6teady it, the cutting blad- 12 i6 pu6hed-into the 6ide of 6aid cake. Then the invention i6 moved along the circumference of the cake by the other hand, with a "6awing" motion in and out toward6 the centre of-6aid cake.
During thi6 operat$on the cylinder 1 mu6t remain firmly on the tabletop whil- 61iding along on it around the cake. A6 the cutting proceed6 around the circumference of 6aid cake the nylon line 14 i6 depo6ited 6imultaneou61y and automatically in the cut or groove 31 which i6 formed by the cutting blade 12.
Upon completing the cutting around 6aid cake, the cutter and ba6e a66embly i6 withdrawn from the cake and i6 moved to one 6ide in the 6ame direction a6 the cut wa6 made, while the other end of nylon line 14 terminatlng on dowel 18 , ~ . . .
1~77869 is moved in the opposite direction. The nylon line is thus crossed over just outside the body of said cake, Fig. 7. If now the two ends of said nylon line are pulled tight, a lean and straight cut will result across the whole body of said cake, without distortion, since the cutting force is applied uniformly all round towards the centre of 6aid cake.
The operation is then repeated until the cake i8 separated into the right number of straight horizontal slices. The additional 61ices can be made by raising the cutter assembly 2 in the body assembly 1 or by moving the uncut cake from the 61ice just made.
It will be appreciated that a single cut may be made midway of the height of the cake to divide the cake into two parts.
In this specification the term "filament" indicates textile threads~ plastic fibres, metal wires, and similar flexible article6.
The present invention fulfills the objective of the invention in providing a ~imple device for slicing cake to a 6elected predetermined thickness not requiring any specialized skill6 in operation.
