Bread conveying apparatus and bread slicing apparatus

A bread slicing apparatus, comprising:

• a bread conveying apparatus including:
• a flight conveyer comprising a first flight for urging a bread in a conveying direction on a conveying path, an endless revolving member on which the first flight is mounted through a pivot shaft, and a driving member and a driven member spaced apart from each other in the conveying direction, the endless revolving member being wound around the driving member and the driven member to revolve therearound;
• a fixed rail member and a movable rail member that is movable relatively to the fixed rail member, the fixed rail member and the movable rail member extending along the conveying direction and supporting the first flight to urge the bread;
• and
• a rail size setting unit for setting a position of front end portion of the movable rail member with resect to one disposed downstream with resect to the conveying direction, of the driving member and the driven member;
• a bread slicing cutter disposed downstream the flight conveyer along the conveying path;
• and
• a discharge conveyer for conveying the sliced bread, the discharge conveyer disposed downstream the bread slicing cutter along the conveying path,
• wherein the position of front end portion of the movable rail member with respect to one, disposed downstream with respect to the conveying direction, of the driving member and the driven member is set by the rail size setting unit based on a size, in the conveying direction, of the bread.
