Definitions

• the invention relates to a mold for food products including bakery, pastry and biscuit and catering (catering), comprising a silicone bottom which has a substantially flat outer surface.
• the bottom of such molds can be substantially flat. Due to the fact that the mold is made of silicone, there is a strong adhesion between the outer surface of the bottom of the mold and the surface of a support on which said mold rests, the strong adhesion being due to the high coefficient of friction of the mold. material in which the mold is made. As a result, when it is desired to move said mold, it can create a suction effect between the outer surface of the bottom of the mold and the surface of the support, or at the very least, there is a strong adhesion of the bottom from the mold to the surface of the support.
• the general object of the present invention is to overcome this disadvantage by providing a mold which is remarkable in that the outer surface of the bottom has a pattern in repeated relief covering the entire outer surface.
• the mold according to the invention may also have the following features, taken separately or in combination:
• said pattern may be uniformly distributed over all of said outer surface of the bottom of the mold.
• the coefficient of friction is the same over the entire outer surface of the bottom of the mold. The mold can thus be manipulated and moved without having to worry about its orientation;
• said raised pattern can be attached to the bottom surface.
• existing silicone molds with flat bottoms can be equipped with relief patterns reducing the adhesion of funds on a support;
• said raised pattern may have a thickness of less than 1 mm. It is therefore understood that it is very small visible but not very prominent reliefs, just enough to reduce the coefficient of friction;
• the raised pattern may have a thickness substantially between 10 and 200 ⁇ .
• the cost of adding relief patterns is limited because the amount of material used is also limited;
• the mold may be entirely made of silicone
• the mold may comprise an armature comprising glass fibers embedded in silicone;
• the mold can be made in the form of a tray having at least two moldings.
• the bottom of each print has an outer surface which has repeated patterns in relief.
• FIG. 1 shows, in perspective, a mold according to the invention, resting by its bottom on a flat support
• FIG. 2 shows the mold of FIG. 1 seen in perspective and from below
• FIG. 3 is an enlargement of zone III shown in FIG. 2;
• FIG. 4 shows a relief pattern made on the bottom of the mold shown in FIGS. 1 to 3;
• FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of a mold according to the invention
• Figure 6 shows yet another embodiment of a mold according to the invention.
• Figure 1 shows a mold 1 made of silicone for food preparation.
• the mold 1 has a bottom 2 substantially flat a side wall 3 of substantially cylindrical shape flared upwards (frustoconical), and a flange 4, bordering the free end of the side wall 3.
• the flange 4 has the function of allowing to grasp the silicone mold to move it, or for example to reposition it.
• the mold 1 can be made in two ways: It can be made entirely of silicone: the mold 1 is then very flexible and is easily deformed under the weight of the apparatus it contains when it is grasped to be moved, for example.
• the mold 1 can also be made differently: for example, it can be made from an armature comprising glass fibers, embedded in silicone. The armature then offers the mold a certain mechanical strength so that it allows a lower overall thickness thus conferring greater flexibility for demolding. .
• the bottom 2 of the mold 1 has a pattern 6 in relief on its outer surface 5.
• the pattern 6 in relief is uniformly distributed over the entire surface 2. It will now be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4.
• the pattern 6 comprises a plurality of rice-grain shaped elements of different sizes, which are arranged in spikes on either side of an X axis (shown in FIG. 3).
• each pattern 6 has a rice-grain shaped member 7, larger in size than the others; oriented inclined with respect to the X axis ( Figure 3).
• the pattern 6 comprises another element 8, adjacent to the element 7, in the form of grain of rice of smaller size, oriented in the same way as the element 7 in the form of grain larger rice.
• the pattern 6 is repeated over the entire outer surface 5 of the bottom 2 of the mold 1, there is, on one side of the X axis, a whole row 9 of elements 7 and 8 arranged alternately and oriented in the same way relative to the X axis.
• the X axis there is another row 10 comprising three elements 1 1, 12 and 13 which are repeated several times over the entire length of the row 10 in this order: in front of the element 7 in the form of the largest grain of rice, there are the two smaller elements 13 and 12 of the pattern 6.
• the element 13 is the smallest grain-shaped element of rice of the whole pattern 6, and the element 12 is an L-shaped element.
• the element 1 In front of the element 8 of the pattern 6 (the smallest element of the row 9) is the element 1 1, in the form of a grain of rice, the largest of the row 10.
• the elements 1 1, 12 and 13 of the row 10 are substantially oriented in the same direction. This latter direction forms a V with the direction of the elements 7 and 8 of the row 9, so that the elements 7, 8, 1 1, 12 and 13 appear arranged in ears on both sides of the X axis.
• the elements 7, 8 and 11 to 13 of the relief pattern provide a texture on the outer surface of the mold 1.
• the texturization can be obtained by relating the patterns 6 in relief on the outer surface 5 of the mold 1.
• the patterns 6 in relief provide rigidity of the bottom of the mold.
• the zones of greater thickness, where are the elements 7, 8, 1 1, 12 and 13, make it possible to optimize the mechanical strength of the mold 1.
• the areas of smaller thickness, between the elements 7, 8, 1 1, 12 and 13 form, for their part, flexible zones forming hinges between the more rigid zones, providing the general flexibility to the mold 1 and thus promoting the demolding of the food products cooked in the mold 1.
• the elements 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13 which are in relief have a small thickness, that is to say a thickness of less than 1 mm.
• the elements 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13 of the pattern 6 have a thickness of one hundred microns, and more generally, a thickness of between 10 and 200 ⁇ .
• a small amount of material used to make the reliefs has another advantage: the addition of material is inexpensive for the silicone mold manufacturer, with respect to said amount used.
• the invention is not limited to the specific form of the pattern presented in the example described - the pattern could comprise a different number of elements, of different shapes, without departing from the scope of the invention.
• the invention is not limited to the shape of the mold shown in FIG. 1 or 2.
• the mold can be made in the form of a plate 14 comprising several cavities 15 molding, that is to say fingerprints intended to accommodate a pasta to cook, each impression forming a molding implement (to achieve, for example, individual molded portions).
• the cavities 15 may be of circular section 1 6.
• the impressions 1 5 can also be of square section 1 7, as in the example shown in FIG. 6.
• the bottoms of the cavities 15 form the bottom 2 of the tray-shaped mold 14 in the examples shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
• the bottoms 2 of the indentations 15 also have an outer surface 5 which comprises, according to the invention, a repeating pattern in relief.
