"Process for making Easter eggs or other hollow chocolate confectionery od, «like.

The invention "relates to a method for producing Chocolate eggs or other hollow fancy articles • Chocolate or chocolate substitutes that have a plane of symmetry.

With this process, the eggs or the fantasy articles are produced directly in their own casing «

.äs is "known to have easter eggs and various fantasy articles of chocolate or chocolate surrogates in general from a chocolate shell in matching shapes are produced, which correspond to one half of the object to be achieved.

These molds are made after the excess chocolate has drained off merged and sent to a cooling tunnel, where the solidification of the chocolate takes place.

.ans ehlies send the molds are opened and the chocolate product which is then packed by hand or by machine according to its shape.

However, apart from a very long production time for the end product, these two operations lead to considerable losses due to breakage.

is the task of the present invention, this - to eliminate disadvantages and to design the work processes in such a way that that they are short and breakage is avoided.

This task is solved in that the chocolate or its surrogate is solidified when it is already in its envelope, so that after the product has been shaped, there are no more operations required are.

™ The invention is that a non-toxic

PVC film on its untreated surface with an adhesive layer provided and subjected to a thermoforming process is, that with a press and a corresponding & egengesenk is made; that the deformed film parts are cut off by a knife in such a way that they Form shapes that are introduced into frames that have openings whose shape corresponds to that of the corresponding ones iile of the forms coincide; that in every other shape, which is held by the frame, in an appropriate amount of molten chocolate is introduced into each cavity; that the different pairs of shapes of which each containing a shape of chocolate, can be folded up one after the other like a book together with the respective frame; that the two merged forms use a hot welding process subjected to and vibrated so that the chocolate evenly on the »walls of the cavities stiffens; that the solidification of the chocolate completes as it passes through the molds through a cooling tunnel

will; and that the different cavities from each other be separated.

The heating for the preparation of the iorrn must be always start from the side of the untreated surface, whether the production is negative or positive can.

The required quantity of chocolate is then introduced into some of the half-molds, which is natural comes into contact with the untreated surface. The chocolate product is made in this way its packaging is made ready for the market and does not require any further operations.

In the drawing, which is a preferred export un ^ sbeisi ial of the invention zei ^ t., is

-B ¹ Ig. 1 shows a schematic view of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention;

3? Ig. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the in a frame Contained forms, with different positions are shown; and

3? Ig. 3 is a perspective view of one with the according to the invention "process produced product.

According to the drawing, in the manufacturing method according to the invention uses a non-toxic FVC film that is rolled up on a pod 1 and pulled off by two driver jaws 2 or driver rollers.

The i'VC'-i'olie can be transparent or treated or printed on one side with an ivietallization process, oils can also be formed as a composite material in connection with polyethylene or another suitable material.

The PVC film is initially left on its untreated surface by means of a device 3 with a completely provided with a non-toxic adhesive layer of a known type and then with -P means of a press 4 and a ü-egengesenkes 5 through Vv'ärme subjected to deformation.

The pile parts processed in this way are then cut off by a knife 6 and inserted into a frame 7 which has openings whose shape corresponds to that of the processed film parts. In the cavities 9 of every second of the i'orms 8 held in each case by a frame 7, a suitable small, melted chocolate is introduced by means of a device 10. ^ The different pairs of organs, one of which is each filled with "chocolate," are then folded up like a book with their take.

The different pairs of frames of iron alternately spring and groove-like hands on so that they can be attached to one another with the help of suitable elements.

The two folded tformhälften 11 are subjected to a Heissschv.eissverfahren, for which purpose heating plates ¹ ^ are used, which are designed so that they form a row of hermetically sealed dumbbells.

The folded iPorm halves are then brought into contact with a Kuttler 13, which is on & round its movement creates a centrifuge effect through which the chocolate enclosed in each coat is evenly distributed but the inner walls spread out, solidifying them.

l> the complete solidification of the chocolate occurs, when the molds are sent through a cooling tunnel 14 "

-At the exit, the frames are removed from the molds and the mold halves are separated from one another by means of a cutting device 15, whereupon the final product 16 is obtained,

This end product can of course be very diverse Have shapes, but always has a plane of symmetry, which allows the "use of two mold halves, one in a continuous and identical process getting produced.

Both the process and those made with it Products have only been described on the basis of an example to which the invention of course does not apply limited.
