Description

The present invention relates to devices for molding a container according to the preambles of claims 1 and 2, in particular for the production of wafer bowls.

From the US 2,508,721 A It has been known for decades that a still-hot wafer can be formed into a bowl by squeezing it between a mold and a punch, the mold and punch being complementary to one another and formed such that a flat bottom and a wavy edge be specified. However, this approach has the disadvantage that during the cooling and solidification process of the wafer no liquid can evaporate. Thus, a relatively large amount of liquid remains in the dough, which reduces the crispness and shelf life of the resulting wafer bowl.

The WO 95/0268 A1 relates to an apparatus and a method for producing waffle bowls, wherein a flat wafer is formed by a linkage such that a bottom portion and a creped edge with as many waves as possible. However, such a device is prone to error by the numerous joints and also large, heavy, complicated and expensive due to the complexity.

The DE 695 29 102 T2 discloses an invention for a novel starch-based composition and process for making starch-based compositions having substantially uniformly dispersed fibers, and articles having a foamed, fiber-reinforced, starch-bonded structural matrix. The disclosure involves the use of various types of known heated forming devices, such as those used in wafer baking. However, such devices are mechanically complex, large, heavy, expensive and expensive due to the integrated heater and the suction nozzles. In addition, such device do not serve the heat dissipation, but the supply of heat into a mixture.

The present invention has for its object to provide a device for molding containers, in particular for the production of waffle bowls, which is compact and robust, whereby a use also in guild bakeries and private households is made possible, and wherein the production of a crisp and long-lasting, shaped container, in particular waffle bowl, with little rejects is made possible.

This object is achieved by the devices according to claim 1 or 2. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

In the following, the invention is explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the particularly preferred production of wafer bowls with a wafer. In this way, however, is not excluded in particular that the device for the formation of other products or other materials and / or for forming other containers such as vessels, cups, plates, o. The like. Can be used.

The proposed device has a first and a second shaping device. It is therefore preferably provided a two-part device or a kit with two shaping devices. The shaping devices are preferably independent of one another, but may alternatively also be connected to one another, for example via a joint, a guide or a linkage.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, the molding devices each have a base and at least two mold sections, wherein at least one of the mold devices has at least two mold sections formed by arms, which are rigidly connected to the base of the mold device. Furthermore, the forming devices are designed in such a way that upon relative movement of the forming devices relative to one another by intermeshing of the mold sections of the first and second forming devices a waffle is in particular undulating deformable at the edges, whereby a waffle bowl can be formed.

The use of arms rigidly connected via the base for forming the wafer has the particular advantage that water vapor can escape between the arms, thus making the wafer crisper, and at the same time allowing a rigid and compact device by virtue of the rigid connection of the arms.

According to a further, independently realizable aspect of the present invention, the respective molding devices have a base and at least two mold sections, wherein the mold devices are formed such that upon relative movement of the mold devices to each other by intermeshing the mold sections of the first and second mold device, a wafer in particular wavy edge deformable, whereby a waffle bowl can be formed. It is further provided that the base of the first molding device has or forms a base plane, wherein the mold sections of the first molding device with an axis perpendicular to the base plane of the first molding device in one of the base the first mold means facing first portion of the mold sections of the first mold means, include an angle, hereinafter referred to as the first angle of the first mold means, and include in a base remote from the second portion of the mold sections of the first mold means an angle, hereinafter referred to as second angle of the first mold means wherein the first angle is sharper than the second angle of the first forming device.

Advantageously, it is possible by the described cranked or angled shape of the mold sections to reduce mechanical stresses during the molding process, especially in the sensitive edge region of the waffle to be deformed. Particularly preferred is the combination in which the mold sections are formed by arms, as this additionally a crisper waffle bowl is made possible. With this combination, there is the additional benefit that the angled arms impact the waffle at a shallower angle during a molding process and therefore require less mechanical wear, which in turn minimizes waste due to defective waffles.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the base of the second shaping device has or forms a base plane, wherein the mold sections of the second forming device form an angle with an axis perpendicular to the base plane of the second forming device, hereinafter referred to as the angle of the second forming device, wherein the angle of the second forming device is blunter than the first angle of the first mold device and / or the angle of the second mold device is sharper than the second angle of the first mold device.

This particularly preferred embodiment has the advantage that mechanical stresses on the wafer are also minimized in the interaction of the two shaping devices, as a result of which rejects can be substantially prevented without requiring a complex, expensive and error-prone complex mechanism.

To form the waffle bowl, a preferably still hot or otherwise deformable, at least substantially flat and / or round wafer is arranged between the forming devices. A portion of the wafer adjacent to or associated with the bases of the forming means remains flat or is made by the bases in an at least substantially flat or planar form and / or may form the bottom of the wafer bowl.

Sections of the wafer arranged outside the respective base, in particular an at least substantially annular section or edge region of the wafer, are preferably deformed wave-shaped between the molding sections and / or by engagement of the molding sections of the molding devices. In this case, it is preferred that the waffle is deformed at least peripherally by the intermeshing of the mold sections of the molding devices in such a way that a wall results. This wall then forms with the bottom preferably the container, in particular the wafer bowl.

The first forming device is preferably designed as a hollow mold or die and / or the second forming device as a punch or male, which correspond in particular to each other or are complementary to each other. In this case, it is assumed that the molding devices can be basket-shaped, wherein in each case the base form the bottom and the mold sections form the wall of the basket-shaped molding device. An inner side and an outer side of the molding devices or their components in the sense of the present invention may relate to such a basket shape. In the context of the present invention, a side facing the waffle to be deformed in the case of deformation according to the proposed device is preferably the inside of the first forming device in the first forming device and / or the outside of the second forming device in the case of the second forming device. For forming, the waffle is preferably arranged between the first and second forming means such that the first forming means is positioned outside the resulting wafer bowl and the second forming means is positioned inside the wafer bowl.

A mold portion in the sense of the present invention is preferably a surface which contacts the wafer during the molding process to exert force and bring about the desired deformation. A mold section is preferably a section that is arranged and configured to actively mold the wafer, that is, to apply force to the wafer. A mold section is therefore preferably not only an abutment. A mold section is preferably designed to generate a wave form when the mold sections of the mold devices engage in one another. A mold section preferably has a rounded, in particular at least substantially partially cylindrical jacket-shaped surface, at least on one side of the waffle to be formed during the molding process. A molding section can be formed by a web, a back or a bead, particularly preferably by an arm.

An arm according to the present invention is preferably elongate, rod-shaped, thin, is free in space and / or has a free end. In the following the invention will be described primarily with reference to the particularly preferred embodiment, in which the mold sections of at least one, preferably both mold devices are formed by arms. In particular, it may be possible in the following to replace the term mold section by the term arm and / or the term arm by the term mold section, since arms preferably form the mold sections and can thus have their properties. For the purposes of the present invention, arms are preferably elongate elements having a diameter which is preferably at least substantially immutable and / or less than half, preferably less than one third, of the length of the arm. The arms or mold sections of the respective molding device can be uniform. The arms or mold sections are preferably rounded off at least on a side facing the molding process of the waffle or have a cylinder jacket surface section. In particular, the arms or mold sections of the second mold device can have a hollow cylinder section at least in the region of an outer peripheral edge.

A base in the sense of the present invention is preferably a means on which the mold sections of the respective mold device are arranged, preferably wherein the base connects the mold sections of the respective mold device, in particular rigidly and / or in such a way that the position and orientation of the mold sections relative to each other through the Base is set.

The base can be flat and / or have a disk, a ring, a grid or the like, preferably at least on one side or flat side of the base, which faces the waffle in the deformation process.

The base is preferably bounded or defined by the mold sections arranged on the base. For the limitation of the respective basis the transition from basis to the form sections can be decisive. The base is thus limited in particular by the transitions from base to form sections or formed between the transitions.

For the described size, shape and other properties of the base may be relevant when using the device of the waffle side. The side facing away from the waffle in the molding process can thus be designed in another way, in particular not flat or forming a grip region. The base may have recesses or apertures which may occupy a substantial portion of the base, especially if the base consists solely of a ring member or the like. The base may have on an in the deformation process of the wafer side facing an interface, which may also be formed by one or more recesses and corresponding boundaries of the recesses of the base. The recesses offer the benefit of improved vapor permeability, resulting in a crispy wafer shell.

For shaping in the region of the bases, the surfaces or interfaces of the bases, which face the waffle during the deformation process, are of primary importance. The boundary surfaces of the bases are preferably in so-called base planes, ie they are preferably flat. For the first shaping device, an inner surface or inner boundary surface of the base is formed for the formation of the wafer, in particular of the wafer base. In the case of the second shaping device, an outer surface or outer boundary surface of the base of the second shaping device is designed for the formation of the wafer, in particular of the wafer base. The bases of the first and second shaping devices are preferably formed correspondingly to jointly form a bottom region or a section of a wafer at least substantially flat.

The base of the second shaping device can in particular have bays and bulges due to the arranged mold sections, the base in this case being limited by the outer edges of the mold sections in the region of the base. A connection of the innermost points of the indentations may be referred to as the inner base of the second molding device, in particular a geometric formation formed or bounded by the innermost points of the indentations.

In a preferred circular arrangement of the mold sections of the second mold device, concentric circles may result through the innermost points of the indentations and the outermost points of the protrusions. Here, the circle connecting the outer edges of the protrusions may define the base of the second molding device. The inner circle can limit the inner base.

The mold sections of the first mold device can be arranged for the molding process between the outer and the inner base or between the concentric circles of the second mold device. This allows the formation of a transition between a flat bottom and a corrugated wall of the wafer bowl.

The base of the first and / or second shaping device can have or form a base plane. Preferably, the base plane of the boundary surface or boundary plane of the base of the first and / or second shaping device runs or corresponds to the side of the base which is in the forming process of Waffle is assigned or facing. The base planes are therefore preferably planes through or on an inner side of the base of the first molding device and / or on an outer side of the base of the second molding device.

The base of the first and / or second shaping device may form a bottom region of a wafer bowl to be formed at least substantially parallel to the base planes of the first and second shaping device. However, one or both bases may also comprise further parts, handles, holders or the like, without this having to have any influence on the position or definition of the base plane.

In the following, particularly preferred embodiments of the molding devices are described with respect to the base planes of the molding devices and with respect to an axis perpendicular to the base plane, preferably the respective base cutting axis. In this case, the respective axis may be arranged through the center and / or through the center of gravity of the base, in particular in the case of a round base. With respect to these axes, the forming devices can be shifted coaxially with each other for forming. Different of the mold sections may have different axes, each standing perpendicular to the base plane and intersecting the base. Angles included with the axis can also be constructed by extension or by tangents to the corresponding elements.

According to one aspect of the present invention, it is provided that the mold sections of the first mold device have different sections, wherein a first section of the mold sections of the first mold device faces the base of the first mold device and / or a second section of the mold sections of the first mold device of the base of the first mold device turned away. Preferably, the mold sections of the first mold device are fastened with their first section to the base of the first mold device and / or have a particular open end in the second section.

A change of direction may be provided in the course of the mold sections between the first and second sections of the mold sections of the first mold device, that is, the mold sections of the first mold device may be cranked, angled and / or kinked. In the change of direction between the first and second section, a soft transition can be provided, in particular wherein the direction change takes place with a bending radius which preferably at least 1.5 times, preferably at least twice the radius of the mold sections or arms of the first mold device can.

The sections of the mold sections of the first mold device may differ by an angle which is included between their course and the axis of the first mold device. It is preferably provided that the mold sections of the first mold device in the first section enclose an angle with the axis of the first mold device, which is referred to below as the first angle of the first mold device. Furthermore, it can be provided that the mold sections of the first mold device in the second section facing away from the base include a second angle with the axis of the first mold device, referred to hereinafter as the second angle of the first mold device.

It is preferred that the first angle is formed sharper than the second angle of the first shaping device. The mold sections of the first mold device can thus have a change in direction in the course between the base and the respective free end of the arms. Here, the angle included between the arms and the axis of the first former may be more obtuse at the open end of the arms than at the other end connected to the base. Compared to the base plane, the second angle of the first forming device may be sharper than the first angle of the first forming device.

Alternatively, it can be assumed that the base of the first shaping device forms or corresponds to a cover surface of a first truncated cone, in particular in the region of the base plane. The course of the mold sections of the first mold device can be characterized in that the mold sections of the first mold device are arranged in the first section in the region of the lateral surface of the first truncated cone or aligned on the lateral surface or a surface line of the first truncated cone. The first angle of the first shaping device can be included between the generatrix and cone axis of the first truncated cone angle. The arms can follow with their central axis of a generatrix.

Furthermore, it can be assumed that the ends of the first sections of the first shaping device facing away from the base form or delimit the base surface of the first truncated cone. The base of the first truncated cone may correspond to the top surface of a second truncated cone. The course of the mold sections of the first mold device can be characterized in that the mold sections of the first mold device are arranged in the second section in the region of the lateral surface of the second truncated cone or aligned on the lateral surface or a surface line of the second truncated cone. The second angle of the first shaping device may be the angle enclosed between the generatrix line and the cone axis of the second truncated cone. The arms can follow with their central axis of a generatrix.

The course of the arms of the first shaping device in the direction of their particular open ends can thus follow in the first section of the generatrix of the first and in the second section of the generatrix of the second truncated cone. The angle between the generatrix and the conical axis of the first truncated cone is preferably sharper than the angle between the generatrix and the conical axis of the second truncated cone.

By the described, particularly preferred course of the mold sections of the first mold device several advantages are achieved. On the one hand, the described shape of the mold sections leads to a gentle deformation of the wafer, since the mold sections impinge less steeply on an at least substantially flat waffle during the molding process. Furthermore, it is possible to produce a wafer bowl by the special shape of the first forming device, in which a region facing the bottom receives relatively steep walls, whereby the usable volume of the wafer bowl is optimized with respect to the base of the underlying wafer. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve a slightly enlarged opening angle in an outer edge region of the resulting wafer dish, thereby enabling an aesthetically pleasing flower shape in the plan view and also a reduced tension and thus crack or break tendency in the edge region during the forming process.

In the following, reference is made to an axis perpendicular to the base plane of the second mold device and an angle, referred to below as the angle of the second mold device, between this axis and the mold sections of the second mold device. Alternatively, it can also be assumed in the case of the second mold device that the mold sections of the second mold device are arranged in the area of the lateral surface of the first truncated cone or aligned with the lateral surface or a surface line of the first truncated cone or the arms of the second mold device with a central axis in the lateral surface a truncated cone are arranged or aligned on this lateral surface or a generatrix of the truncated cone. In this case, the base of the second shaping device can form the top surface of the truncated cone and the angle between the lateral surface and the conical axis can be the angle of the second shaping device.

It is preferred that the angle of the second forming device is blunt than the first angle of the first forming device. This allows, when the first mold device placed on the second mold device or the mold sections of the first mold device in the molding process in the mold sections of the second mold device engage or intermesh to achieve a pronounced waveform or a stronger lineup of the wall portion of the resulting wafer dish. This favors the achievement of a large usable volume.

It is further preferred that the angle of the second shaping device is sharper than the second angle of the first shaping device. Surprisingly, it has been shown that the stresses occurring in the edge region of the wafer during the molding process can be reduced by the indicated ratio of the angles to one another such that a tendency to crack and thus the probability of rejects are significantly reduced. This applies in particular if the radius of the wafer is greater than the sum of the radius of the base of the first molding device and the length of the first section of the mold sections of the first molding device, preferably more than 5%, in particular more than 10%. Then, the edge region of the wafer undergoes shaping only over the second sections of the mold sections of the first mold device with the blunt second angle of the first mold device.

Preferably, the mold sections or arms are rigidly connected to the respective base. As a result, an extremely robust and compact device can be produced in an advantageous manner since the respective shaping device does not require any moving parts or drives. In particular, the mold sections or arms of the respective base can be integrally formed with this base, which leads to particularly robust shaping devices. Furthermore, it is possible to store the molding devices in one another, as a result of which the device can be stowed in a space-saving manner and furthermore it can be ensured that mutually matching molding devices are regularly available together. This is especially true against the background that the mold devices are preferably realized as separate parts independently of each other.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to the diameters of the mold sections or arms of the first and second mold devices. Here it is preferred that the second shaping device has mold sections or arms which have a larger diameter than the mold sections of the first forming device. In particular, it can be provided that the diameter of the mold sections or arms of the first forming device is at least a factor of 2, in particular at least a factor of 3, more preferably by a factor of 4 to 5 less than the diameter of the mold sections or arms of the second Forming device. It has surprisingly been found that this reduces the crack tendency of the wafer, in particular in the wall area.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the mold sections or arms of the first mold device have a diameter of less than one third, preferably less than a quarter, in particular less than one sixth and more preferably between one eighth and one twelfth of a diameter of the base corresponds to the first mold device. According to a further aspect of the present invention it can be provided that the mold sections or arms of the second mold device have a diameter of more than one quarter, preferably more than one third, more preferably between one third and two thirds of a diameter of the base of the second Forming device corresponds. This leads to an optimized volume of the waffle bowl to be formed.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, it can be provided that the molding devices are designed to be complementary to one another such that the first molding device can be placed or inserted axially onto the second molding device, whereby the bases of the molding devices can be placed adjacent to one another and in each case one molding section or Arm one of the mold facilities to second sides adjacent to mold sections or arms of the other mold devices is arranged. The shaping devices or their mold sections or arms can therefore preferably be moved into one another in the direction of the axis perpendicular to the base planes.

For forming a wafer, a preferably still hot, flexible and / or round wafer can be placed on the second mold device and the first mold device can be moved axially in the direction of the second mold device such that its mold sections impinge on the wafer and between the mold sections engage second mold means, whereby the waffle in the region of the mold sections of the second mold device assumes the radius and angle of the mold sections of the second mold device. In this area, the wafer is thus mounted on the second mold device.

Between the mold sections of the second mold device, the shape of the wafer then follows at least substantially the mold sections of the first mold device. The mold sections of the first mold device are thus placed between the mold sections of the second mold device, wherein the wafer is impressed in the region of the first sections of the mold sections of the first mold device, the first angle of the first mold device. Due to the inherent stability of the wafer, it may be provided that the wafer does not immediately follow the radius of the relatively thin mold sections of the first mold device and / or the transition between the first and second sections of the first mold device, allowing smooth transitions.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, the device is designed such that, in intermeshing mold sections or arms of the mold devices, a surface or flat side of the wafer remote from the respective mold section of one of the mold devices is open to the environment or not through the other of the mold devices or arms covered. As a result, liquid from the waffle can evaporate better, making a particularly crispy waffle is possible. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the mold sections or arms have other ventilation means, in particular holes, membrane, mesh, perforated sheets, woven, knitted or other vapor-permeable means. This can improve the consistency and shelf life of a resulting wafer bowl.

In particular, it can be provided that one or both shaping devices 1 . 2 at least substantially formed of wood. The use of wood is preferred because of the property of wood to absorb moisture to a certain extent. In this way, therefore, a crisper or more durable waffle W can be generated. Furthermore, wood and / or plastic have the advantage that a relatively low thermal conductivity can be achieved, whereby the risk of condensation on the molds 1 . 2 is reduced. formers 1 . 2 made of metal are particularly robust and durable, which is particularly preferred in confectionery and / or bakery use.

For forming the wafer W, the first shaping device 1 a die or inner mold and the second mold device 2 form a male or outer shape.
