  CALE J. SCHNEIDER, INVENTOR, 79, DIES; Special to The New York Times; New York Times (1857-Current file), New York, N.Y.; May 29, 1971; pg. 26, 1 pgs:
   Cale J. Schneider, who invented a multi-pronged cake breaker to slice the softest cake, and currently in use as a comb for Afro-American coiffures, died today in his Toledo home.  He was 79 years old.
   Mr. Schneider patented the cake breaker in 1932, the year after he founded a manufacturing concern here under his name.  The cake breaker is a fork-like utensil with about a dozen thin prongs. ...
   For two years, Pillsbury Flour Mills and Duncan Hines purchased hundreds of thousands of the cake breakers to distribute as premiums with their cake mixes. ...
   Mr. Schneider also invented sweet-corn holders under the name Kob-Knobs.
