Claims
- 1. A device for storing and slicing foodstuff in the shape of an elongated bar, comprising:
- A. elongated housing means including two side walls parallel to each other and in a spaced apart relationship, a bottom wall and a top wall parallel to each other in a spaced apart relationship and perpendicularly mounted with respect to said side walls and a rear wall perpendicularly mounted at the end of said side, bottom and top walls thereby defining a compartment with an opening;
- B. carrier means having an elongated and flat base member with an upperside and having two ends and two lateral edges and being slidably receivable within said housing means, and said carrier means including a cover member perpendicularly mounted at one end of said ends for cooperatively closing said opening of said housing means when said carrier means is completely housed within said housing means and said base member having a plurality of upwardly mounted post members along said laterial edges, by opposing pairs, so that a separation is maintained between adjoining post members and said channels being positioned between adjoining post members so that said cutting utensil is allowed to cut completely through said bar thereby separating the resulting slice from the rest of the bar;
- C. means for cutting said bar including a handle and a blade; and
- D. means for guiding said cutting utensil and including an elongated flat member, having an underside and an upperside, and said flat member is slidably positioned over said post members and said elongated flat member includes two ends and each of said ends comes in contact with the upper terminations of said post members.
- 2. The device set forth in claim 1 wherein said post members include a round headed termination and said means for guiding said cutting utensils include two L-shape members mounted to the underside of said means for guiding said cutting utensil and said L-shape members form a guiding passage that cooperatively receives said round headed terminations of said post members.
- 3. A device for storing and slicing foodstuff in the shape of an elongated bar, comprising:
- A. elongated housing means including two side walls parallel to each other and in a spaced apart relationship, a bottom wall and a top wall parallel to each other in a spaced apart relationship perpendicularly mounted with respect to said side walls and a rear wall and perpendicularly mounted at the end of said side, bottom and top walls thereby defining a compartment with an opening;
- B. cutting utensil housing means including two lateral walls parallel to each other and in a spaced apart relationship mounted on said top wall, an upper wall positioned perpendicularly to said lateral walls and a rear wall perpendicularly mounted at the end of said lateral walls and said walls thereby defining an elongated cavity with an aperture;
- C. carrier means having an elongated and flat base member with two ends and two lateral edges and being slidably receivable within said housing means and said carrier means including a cover member perpendicularly mounted at one of said ends for cooperatively closing said opening of said housing means compartment and the aperture of said cutting utensils cavity when said carrier means is completely housed within said housing means and said housing means having a plurality of upwardly mounted post members along said lateral edges, by opposing pairs, so that a separation is maintained between adjoining post members; and
- D. means for cutting said bar including a handle and a blade.
- 4. The device set forth in claim 3 wherein said base member includes a plurality of straight channels on the upperside of said base member and said channels being positioned between opposing separations so that said cutting utensil is allowed to cut completely through said bar thereby separating the resulting slice from the rest of the bar.
- 5. The device set forth in claim 4 wherein said base member includes a plurality of straight channels on the upperside of said base member and said channels being positioned between opposing separations so that said cutting utensil is allowed to cut completely through said bar thereby separating the resulting slice from the rest of the bar.
- 6. The device set forth in claim 5, further comprising:
- E. means for guiding said cutting utensil and including an elongated flat member, having an underside and an upperside, and said flat member is slidably positioned over said post members and said elongated flat member includes two ends and each of said ends comes in contact with the upper terminations of said post members.
- 7. The device set forth in claim 6 wherein said post members include a round headed termination and said means for guiding said cutting utensils include two L-shape members mounted to the underside of said means for guiding said cutting utensil and said L-shape members form a guiding passage that cooperatively receives said round headed terminations of said post members.
