Description

1 95459

The present invention relates to a molding composition according to the preamble of claim 1, which is especially intended for molding by children, e.g. in molding and baking games.

The earliest formable mass known to mankind is ceramic clay. It is sold in wholesale packaging for professional clay-making and hobby activities. Ceramic clay objects must be fired for a day at a temperature of approx. 950-1000 ° C in order for them to harden, and a second time if you want to burn colored glaze on their surface.

15

Gypsum-based Darwi and Cernit pulps harden without burning, under the influence of oxygen, in about a day. Darwi is white and can be painted after drying, Cernit is also available in color.

20

Vegetable-based modeling wax is available in both white and colored. There is also beeswax-based modeling wax. The modeling wax does not dry or harden. Colored and packaged in smaller consumer packages 25 are the most expensive in terms of consumer prices.

Also known is a molding compound made from Play-doh branded food raw materials, the basic package of which contains four jars, each with 30 different colored molding compounds. They are stored in their jars. The product has a last year of sale, not an expiration date.

Professional growers are also familiar with a self-made wheat flour-salt-water mixture called magic dough, which is white, sticky, staining, and relatively difficult to shape. Molded, uniform ornaments or parts of the doll can be baked in the oven, 2 95459, whereby they harden and can be painted or used for crafts.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a new type of molding compound which can be made from food raw materials in a bakery or in plant kitchens. The features which are mainly characteristic of the invention appear from the characterizing part of claim 1.

The main object of the invention is therefore to provide toy children with a molding or baking molding composition which is non-toxic and safe, rich and soft and can be baked with ordinary baking equipment, e.g. a roller, molds and a dough wheel.

One advantage of the molding composition according to the invention is that the molding composition can be transported and distributed in the cold chain of the trade, like foodstuffs. The molding compound is then obtained from a grocery store or Market 20 while buying products from a cool chain, such as dough or baking ingredients, etc. The consumer thus does not have to go to a specialized toy store or toy department.

The invention further achieves the following advantages:

The ingredients are inexpensive, and therefore it is easy to make the molding compound abundant. For example, for baking purposes, the molding mass is almost 30 correct doughs in size and weighs about a kilo.

It has a rollable plate from which you can press · molds or cut patterns with a dough wheel.

The right baking utensils can be used in every home.

35 - The molding compound is easy to handle by hand, it is not too heavy or stiff. The mass is pleasantly soft and forms even in small hands.

5 3 95459 - The molding compound can be used to shape, for example, animal figures, it can be plucked and pressed, and patterns can be pressed into it with fingers, chopsticks or objects.

With a pleasantly shaped, suitably large molding compound, children can mold and bake like real dough. Baking is an activity that develops hand coordination. The molding compound is not baked 10 and, despite its non-toxicity, cannot be eaten because the taste is bad.

The molding compound remains flexible and microbiologically clean, tightly packed in the refrigerator. It can be used again and again, for months from the date of sale and manufacture. The molding compound is subjected to a microbiological shelf life test in a food laboratory and is given an expiry date and a “best before” label. The consumer packaging contains 20 instructions for use, which state that the hands should be washed before and after the use of the molding compound, and that the molding compound should be kept at home. If the molding compound is allowed to dry, a few drops of water can be dropped into the storage bag 25 or jar, which is absorbed into the dough and softens it.

The molding compound does not stain. If a child gets it in their clothes, it can be removed dry by brushing, or if it is left in the soles of socks, it will leave in normal laundry.

The molding compound may be a caramel-colored, soft and mouldable mass which, for sale, is lithium-35 in a thick sheet or cone and packed tightly in plastic or in a box.

Molding recipe:

For a dough weighing just over a kilo 5, wheat flour 300 g or 48 wt% (semi-coarse) table salt 310 g or 49.5 wt% 10 (NaCl) tartar 15 g or 0.24 wt% (potassium bitartrate, E230 food additive) is required cooking oil 2 tablespoons 15 (vegetable-based) caramel color as needed

The dry substances, including cooking oil, are combined and half a liter, 500 g of water is added to the dry matter mixture.

20 Powdered caramel color can be added to dry matter.

If liquid caramel is used, add it to the water. Stirring the ingredients all the time, the mass is slowly heated to about 60 ° C. During the rise, the tartar reacts to the heat, the mass expands somewhat and acquires a pleasantly soft, moldable structure. Because the temperature remains so low, very little liquid evaporates. The dough thus prepared weighs 1135 g.

The dough can be made in larger batches by multiplying the amount of all the ingredients by the same factor, and dividing the finished molding mass into the desired sizes, e.g., retail batches of about 600 g.

Wheat flour gives the dough mass, abundance, softness and firmness (gluten). The salt binds the liquid to the dry matter and gives the molding compound a shelf life. The ratio of the two to the molding compound should be about 1: 1 by weight, or so that the salt is about 1: 1 or 4 * 1. , 95459 5 1 wt% more. If the ratio is expressed in units of volume, there are two flours (units) of flour per unit of salt (units). The optimum amount of tartar is 0.24% by weight, but 0.2% to 5% of tartar is already obtained from the mass to be molded, and the increased use of tartar does not become a problem until it is so abundant (approx. 0.5% by weight). that the dough swells excessively. Excessive use of tartar naturally does not make economic sense. The optimum for dry matter and liquid is 55-45% by weight, however, so that the dough to be formed is formed at liquid contents of 40-50% by weight.

Similar experiments were also performed with other fruit acids and using sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium salts, and the functionality of the invention was also found in these experiments.
