A bread maker includes upper and lower rollers and a bar code scanner. The upper and lower rollers wind a mixing bag containing bread ingredients to form dough. The bar code scanner reads a bar code attached to the mixing bag so that, as the mixing bag is wound by rotation of the upper and lower rollers, the bar code scanner reads the bar code while being in contact with the bar code wound around one of the upper and lower rollers. The upper roller includes flat and arcuate portions. The flat portion is provided with an arcuate guide section to form a circular track together with the arcuate portion. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bread maker with a contact type bar code scanner, which is brought into direct contact with and reads a bar code.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a bread maker with a bar code scanner, which is stably brought into contact with a bar code by an improved construction of an upper roller, thus allowing the bar code to be correctly read by the bar code scanner.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.
The foregoing and other objects of the present invention are achieved by providing a bread maker including upper and lower rollers to wind a mixing bag containing bread ingredients to form dough.
The bread maker also includes a bar code scanner to read a bar code attached to the mixing bag so that, as the mixing bag is wound by a rotation of the upper and lower rollers, the bar code scanner reads the bar code while being in contact with the bar code wound around one of the upper and lower rollers.
According to an aspect of the invention, the upper roller includes flat and arcuate portions.
The flat portion is provided with an arcuate guide section to form a circular track together with the arcuate portion, so that the bar code is guided along the track provided on the upper roller, and brought into contact with and passed through the bar code scanner.
According to an aspect of the invention, the bread maker further includes a pad attached to the track to prevent wearing of the track caused by contact with a front end of the bar code scanner, and to absorb vibration caused by the rotation of the upper roller so that smooth contact is allowed between the bar code and the bar code scanner.
According to an aspect of the invention, the track is provided with a ring-shaped groove so that the bar code is brought into contact with the bar code scanner while being spaced apart from the upper roller by the groove
