Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of applying a layer of a viscous material, such as butter, margarine, or fat, to a slice of bread.
  • a viscous material such as butter, margarine, or fat
  • German Auslegeschhrift No. 1,063,775 also discloses an apparatus for applying butter, margarine, or other viscous materials to slices of bread.
  • This known apparatus comprises a distributor drum having a cylindrical wall with a multiplicity of openings or perforations, and a toothed roller arranged within the drum and having teeth engaging with the openings or perforations of the drum.
  • a viscous material which has been pressed into the openings of the drum, is pressed out through these openings in the cylindrical wall of the drum, when the teeth of the roller engage with such openings.
  • the viscous material is di ⁇ vided into small portions which fall down onto the upper side of slices of bread, which are moved beneath the distributing drum by means of a conveyer belt.
  • the slices of bread pass a stationary smearing plate for smearing out the viscous material so that it will form a substantially continuous layer on each slice of bread. Due to this necessary smearing operation this known apparatus is not able to apply the viscous material so that application of the greasy material to the edges of the bread slices is avoided, either.
  • the present invention provides a method which renders it possible to apply a uniform, relatively thin layer of margarine, butter, fat, ' or another viscous material to a desired area of a slice of bread spaced from the edge portions of such slice of bread.
  • the method according to the invention is of the above type, wherein a layer of a viscous material is applied to a slice of bread by press ⁇ ing the material through a multiplicity of small, closely spaced openings defined in a perforated plate or wall, and the method ac ⁇ cording to the invention is characterized in that a surface part of said slice of bread is placed in substantially abutting engagement with an abutment surface defined by the outer surface of said perfo ⁇ rated plate or wall while the viscous material is pressed out through said openings, and in that the said slice of bread is thereafter removed from the abutment surface by a relative movement of said slice of bread and said abutment surface in a direction transversely to the abutment surface.
  • the viscous material may be ap ⁇ plied to the slice of bread in a desired area having a shape and size corresponding to the shape and size of the perforated area of the said perforated plate or wall.
  • the relative movement between the slice of bread and the abutment surface may be performed by moving the slice of bread and/or by moving the perforated plate or wall.
  • the relative movement is preferably substantially at right angles to the abutment surface even though, in principle, the direction of movement may form an acute angle with such direction extending at right angles to the abutment surface.
  • the perforated plate or wall defining the abutment surface may, for example, be made from coarse cloth or fabric, plate metal with holes stamped therein, or any other perforated plate.
  • the per ⁇ forated plate or wall is made from a substantially plane, stretched wire mesh.
  • the pressing out of the viscous material through the openings of the perforated plate or wall may be obtained by any suitable manner, for example by mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic means.
  • the pressing out may be obtained by subjecting the viscous material to superatmospheric pressure by means of a piston, or by means of a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure medium.
  • the viscous material is pressed out through the openings of the perfo ⁇ rated plate or wall by means of a scraping member, which is moved along the inner side of said plate or wall in abutting engagement therewith.
  • the thickness of the layer of material which is applied to a slice of bread will be dependent on the pressing-out pressure, the size of the openings, and the type of the plate or wall defining the abutment surface in which the openings are defined.
  • the pressing-out pres ⁇ sure and, consequently, the thickness of the layer of material ap ⁇ plied will be dependent i.a. on the shape, the arrangement, and the rate of movement of the scraping member.
  • the said scraping member may be moved between a first position in which the openings in said plate or wall are uncovered by the scrap ⁇ ing member while the inner side of the plate or wall is covered by said viscous material, and a second position in which the inner side of the plate or wall is covered by the scraping member, and the said slice of bread may then be placed in abutting engagement with said abutment surface while said scraping member is in its said first position, and may be removed therefrom, when the scraping member has passed its said first position and has returned to its second posi ⁇ tion.
  • the scraping member is ' moved from its second to its first position the slice of bread is pressed into engagement with the abutment surface.
  • the present invention also provides an apparatus for applying a layer of a viscous material to a slice of bread, said apparatus comprising a container for receiving the viscous material and including a per ⁇ forated plate or wall defining a multiplicity of small, closely spaced openings therein, means for pressing out the viscous material through said openings, and means for moving said slice of bread in relation to said perforated plate or wall, and the apparatus accord ⁇ ing to the invention is characterized in that said moving means are adapted to move said slice of bread and an abutment surface defined on the outer surface of said perforated plate or wall towards and away from each other, and in that control means for controlling the function of said pressing-out means and said moving means are pro ⁇ vided so that the viscous material is pressed through said openings while said slice of bread is maintained in abutting engagement with said abutment surface of said moving means.
  • Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view of an embodiment of the ap ⁇ paratus according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of part of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
  • the apparatus shown in the drawings is adapted to apply a layer of butter, margarine, or fat to a desired area of a slice of bread 10.
  • the apparatus may also be used for applying other types of viscous material, such a marmalade, liver paste, cheese spread, and other paste-like foodstuffs.
  • the apparatus shown in the drawings comprises a bottom frame 11 de ⁇ fining a bottom opening over which a wire mesh 12 has been stretched.
  • a diaphragm frame 13 is arranged on the bottom side of the wire mesh and is clamped between the wire mesh and a supporting frame 14.
  • the diaphragm frame 13 which is preferably replaceable, defines a central diaphragm opening 25, which corresponds to the area of each slice of bread to which a layer of butter or another viscous material is to be applied.
  • a plunger or scraper 15, which is displaceably guided in guide channels 16, Fig. 2, formed at the inner side of the bottom frame 11, is mounted in the bottom frame 11 so that the scraper or plunger may be reciprocated as indicated by arrows 17 while being in , /
  • the plunger or scraper 15 may be moved between an inner position, in which at least the di ⁇ aphragm opening 25 of the diaphragm frame 13 is completely covered by the underside of the scraper or plunger 15, and an outer position in which the diaphragm opening is completely uncovered.
  • the scraper or plunger 15 has a wedged front portion with an upwardly facing bev ⁇ elled surface 18.
  • a receptacle 19 for the viscous material 20 to be applied to the bread slices 10 is replaceably mounted on the bottom frame 11. As shown in Fig. 1 the receptacle 19 may be retained on the bottom frame
  • the slices of bread, to which a layer of the viscous material 20 is to be applied by means of the apparatus described above, are successive ⁇ sively moved past the bottom surface of the wire mesh 12 and the di ⁇ aphragm frame 13 by means of suitable conveyer means (not shown) .
  • the conveyer means successively moves the bread slices 10 on to a sup ⁇ porting plate 22.
  • the supporting plate 22 and the slice of bread arranged thereon may, for example, be moved by means of a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder 27.
  • the apparatus may be moved downwards into contact with the slice of bread 10. While the slice of bread is maintained in contact with the wire mesh the plunger or scraper 15 is moved from its inner to its outer position, and the vacuum which is thereby created in the bottom frame causes the viscous material 20 to be sucked into contact with the upper side of the wire mesh 12.
  • the slice of bread may be removed from the wire mesh by lowering the plate 22 supporting the slice of bread by means of the hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder 27, or by lifting the apparatus, for example by means of other hy ⁇ draulic or pneumatic cylinders, not shown.
  • a slice of bread 10 to which the viscous material has been applied is then released from the bottom side of the wire mesh 12 by means of a releasing fram 23, which is mounted in the supporting frame 14 and biased downwards by means of springs 24.
  • the slice of bread 10 to which a layer of vis ⁇ cous material has been applied and which has now been released from the wire mesh is now removed from the supporting plate 22 and removed from the apparatus by means of suitable conveyer means, not shown.
  • Another slice of bread 10 may now be moved to the supporting plate 22 and be moved into contact with the bottom side of the wire mesh 12 so that the springs 24 are compressed, when the scraper or plunger 15 is still in its inner position.
  • the scraper or plunger 15 is now once more reciprocated ⁇ whereby the process described above is repeated.
  • the movement of the cylinders 26 and 27 and of any other conveyer means may, for example, be- controlled by means of electronic control means 28, which may control the supply of pressure medium to the cylinders 26 and 27.
  • a layer of butter was applied to substantially square slices of bread by means of an apparatus as that shown in the drawings.
  • a suitable viscosity creamed butter was used and maintained in the receptacle 19 of the apparatus at a temperature of about 25°C.
  • the wire mesh used was a smooth, stainless acid- resistant wire mesh in which the total area of the openings therein amounted to about 50% of the total area of the wire mesh.
  • the wire thickness of the mesh was 0.26 mm and the size of the meshes or the spacing of the wires was 0.58 mm.
  • the wire mesh in question is marketed by A/S Tekma, Hvidovre, Denmark, under the article number 79005830 and the mesh number 30. About 2 grams of butter was applied to each slice of bread, and the butter was applied as a smooth, uni- form layer in the area desired.
  • the viscous mass 20 may be pressed out through the wire mesh 12 by other means than the scraper or plunger 15 shown.
  • the necessary pressure may be obtained by means of a piston exposed to spring action or pressurized air, or the viscous mass in the receptacle 19 may be exposed directly to pressurized air.
  • a scraper or plunger shaped in another manner than that shown it is possible to use the ap ⁇ paratus described to apply a viscous mass of any kind, and the layer thickness desired may be obtained by choosing a suitable wire mesh or perforated plate and a suitable pressure.
  • a viscous material such as cheese spread, liver paste, honey, or another kind of a viscous spread

Abstract

Une denrée alimentaire visqueuse ou pâte à tartiner (20) telle que du beurre, de la margarine ou de la graisse est appliquée sur des tranches de pain (10) en plaçant chaque tranche de pain en contact avec une grille métallique (12) ou avec une plaque perforée. Le matériau visqueux (20) agencé dans un récipient (19) est comprimé jusqu'à sortir par des orifices définis par la grille métallique et contacter une zone voulue du pain par un dispositif approprié de compression, un piston alternatif par exemple ou un râcleur (15). La zone du pain sur laquelle le matériau visqueux (20) doit être appliqué est définie par les dimensions d'une ouverture de diaphragme (25) formée dans un cadre de diaphragme (13). La tranche de pain (10) peut être éloignée de la grille métallique (12) par un cadre de libération (23) actionné par un ressort une fois qu'une couche du matériau visqueux a été appliquée sur le pain.
