Description
1:~02790 This invention relates to a food processing device, and in particular to a dough working device.
Usually, dough is rolled using a rolling pin or other cylindrical object on any flat surface, such a kitchen counter or cutting board. While the conventional method is simple and effective, the resulting product is not necessarily of uniform thickness. Moreover, a separate implement is required when applying icing to a food product, or when decorating the product.
The object of the present invention is to provide a relatively simple dough working device, which ensures uniform dough thickness, and which facilitates other work such as decorating a food product.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a dough working device comprising body means; first recess means in a top surface of said body means for receiving dough to be rolled, second recess means in a bottom surface of said body means, turntable means normally carried by said second recess means in a stored position; and plug means for insertion into said second recess means for rotatably supporting said turntable means in a use position when the body means is inverted.
While the device is described as a dough working device, it will be appreciated that the turntable feature of the invention makes the device suitable for use in the ... .
`
. ~ .
decoration or other p'rocessing of food products. For example, the turntable is useful when applying icing to a cake.
The invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view from above of a dough working device in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is an exploded, side elevational view of the device of Fig. l; and Figure 3 is a cross section taken generally along line III-III of Fig. 1, with parts omitted.
With reference to Fig. 1, the dough working device of the present invention includes a rectangular body 1 with a solid core 2. A rectangular recess 4 is provided in the top of the body 1, with à raised border or wall 5 therearound, i.e. around the periphery of the top of the body. The wall 5 has a planar top surface 6 for supporting a roller (not shown) such as a rolling pin. A gap 8 is provided in one side of the walls for discharging excess dough. Convex flanges 9 or beads extend around the outer peripheries of the bottom of the body 1 and the top of the wall 5. A plurality of plates 10 (Fig.

The invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view from above of a dough working device in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is an exploded, side elevational view of the device of Fig. l; and Figure 3 is a cross section taken generally along line III-III of Fig. 1, with parts omitted.
With reference to Fig. 1, the dough working device of the present invention includes a rectangular body 1 with a solid core 2. A rectangular recess 4 is provided in the top of the body 1, with à raised border or wall 5 therearound, i.e. around the periphery of the top of the body. The wall 5 has a planar top surface 6 for supporting a roller (not shown) such as a rolling pin. A gap 8 is provided in one side of the walls for discharging excess dough. Convex flanges 9 or beads extend around the outer peripheries of the bottom of the body 1 and the top of the wall 5. A plurality of plates 10 (Fig.
2) having a variety of thicknesses are provided with the body 1. The plates 10 are used to change the depth of the recess 4. The plates 10 are inserted and removed manually.
A disc-shaped recess 12 is provided in the bottom centre of the body 1 for receiving a disc-shaped plate or ~ . . -turntable 13. The turntable 13 is normally inserted into the recess 12, i.e. carried completely thereby in a stored position with the bottom surface of the turntable 13 flush with the bottom surface of the body 1. A post 15, with a S pointed outer end 16, on the centre of the turntable 13 extends into an upwardly extending, central well 17 in the recess 12. A cylindrical plug 19 for rotatably supporting the post 15 and the turntable 13 is normally housed in a cylindrical well 20 in one side of the body 1. The plug 19 has an angular flange 22 on the outer end thereof for limiting insertion of the plug into the wells 17 and 20, and for facilitating removal thereof from such wells. A recess 24 in the outer end of the plug 19 receives the post 15 when the plug 19 is positioned in the well 17.
15The body 1, the plates 10, the turntable 13 and the plug 19 are carried by a rectangular, rubber pad 25 (Figs. 1 and 2). The pad 25 is flexible and has a top recess 26 approximately equal in length and width to the body 1. A
concave bottom end 28 of the recess 26 receives the beaded top or bottom end of the body 1, i.e. one of the flanges 9.
During use, for working dough, the body 1 is placed on a flat surface with the recess 4 opening upwardly, with or without one or more of the plates 10, depending upon the thickness of the dough. The dough is placed in the recess 4 and a rolling pin or other cylindrical implement (not shown) is rolled along opposed, parallel side walls 5 to flatten the : 3 , . ,~ . , ~
~ :~
dough. Excess dough~can escape through the gap 8 in the wall 5.
When the device is to be used as a turntable, the body 1 is reversed in the pad 25, so that the recess 23 opens upwardly. The turntable 13 is removed from the recess 12.
The plug 19 is removed from the well 20 and placed in the well 17, and the turntable 12 is placed over the recess 12 so that the post 15 enters the recess 24. The device is ready for use as a turntable for decorating or other purposes.
It will be appreciated that the device described herein can be used to roll materials other than dough such as pizza crusts.
