Description

 The invention relates to molds for cooking and / or preparing prepared foods.

 Generally, after cooking or preparation, the finished products are presented in a block.

 Traditionally, manufacturers of ready-to-eat food. cooks, pastry chefs, restaurateurs, housewives, cook or prepare their dishes (and more particularly those having a dough as support or as finished food after cooking) in a mold which presents the food ready for tasting in a single part.

(The term "mold" being taken here in its broadest sense8.

 The same is true for certain dishes that do not require cooking.

 Before serving each taster, it is necessary to cut the finished food with a knife, an operation which always presents risks of injury, especially noted in children when the latter, in the absence of the parents. clumsily use and handle a cutting tool.

 In addition, the sharing operation being guided only by human appreciation, the shares are often unequal and a pretext for disputes between children.

 Likewise, some mussels cannot withstand, without danger of coating them, contact with a knife, thus forcing the food to be removed from the mold used for cooking or preparation with great care so as not to damage the food and then replace it on another dish and proceed to sharing. always with a knife.

 We would also point out the case of certain legs which are very brittle after cooking and certain non-stable linings which slip when the knife passes and which cut very poorly. thus altering a presentation that the creator wanted perfect.

 The baking and / or preparation mold in predetermined parts, which is the subject of the present invention, makes it possible to remedy the drawbacks which have just been mentioned above.

The subject of the invention is a mold which can take on the most diverse forms, composed of three main parts.
- a fund
- a support
- means of separation
The invention will in any case be well understood with the aid of the following deacription supplement, as well as the attached drawings.

which supplement and drawings relate to a preferred embodiment and of course have no limiting character.

This is how, for certain preparations and / or cooking of
dishes always having the same shape1 the mold used will only have two parts, the bottom and the support, in a single part, and the partitions.

Figure 1 shows a background seen from above
Figure 4 shows a round support seen from above
Figure 7 shows the central separation means
Figures 8 and 9 the half separation means
Figure 10 shows a bottom in a support, the whole round shape (for abstract).

 Figure 1 of these drawings shows a removable bottom (15 of round shape intended to prepare a dish in eight equal parts whose edge (2) is folded.

 This bottom (18 has slots (3) going from the center to the edge.

 The width of the bottom of these slots (3 "has the same dimension as the thickness of the separation means (pl. 3/4).

 The number of these slots (3) is equal to the number of parts desired in the case where it is desired equal parts. It is in these slots that the separation means are housed (pl. 3/4).

 Several types of funds are included in the same support, offering the user the choice between several clearly defined numbers of units.

 For example, with three bottoms split differently, it will be possible to prepare dishes pre-cut into 5-6-8-10-12 equal parts.

 Figure 2 shows the same background seen from the side. We will observe the folded edge (2 ", the slots (35 in which the separation means (pl. 3/4 are positioned and locked.

 Figure 3 shows the same background seen in section; note the marks in the form of bulges or stops (4). These marks allow the positioning of the bottoms in the support, so that the chosen bottom is inserted correctly, making the slots in the bottom coincide with the marks (5E perforated in the upper part of the support (71.

 Figure 4 of these drawings (pl. 2/48 represents seen from above the support common to different funds of round shape whose central part (65 is empty.

 The uppermost part (7! Has the marks in the form of perforations into which 8 engage the projections of the separation means (15 of pl. 3/4 Fig. 7, 8 and 9).

 The marks are numbered to help the user to position the separation means quickly and as he wishes, depending on the installed base, therefore on the number of parts chosen.

 The intermediate part (8 'represents the sides of the mold, the height of which varies according to the type of dish to be produced. The diameter of the upper part is greater than the diameter of the lower part, that which rests on the baking sheet.

 It is in the part (95 that the bulges or stops intended to match the bottoms with the support are formed.

 The part (9! Is that which supports the bottom; that also on which the whole mold rests on the oven plate.

 Figure 5 shows the support seen from the side.

 Figure 6 shows the support seen in section.

 Figure 7 of these drawings (pl. 3/4 represents the central separation means (10).

 Its base (115 is housed at the bottom of the bottom slot (3), sharing at the same time the food in preparation previously placed.

 The sides (135 have the same inclination as the part (8) of the support; they fit perfectly.

 The part (14) of the separation means comes to rest on the internal part (7 "of the support (Fig. 4).

 As for the projection (15 \, it engages in the appropriate perforation in (78 of the support.

 Figure 8 shows a means of separation, protruding to the left (16 \.

 Figure 9 shows a means of separation, protruding to the right (17 '.

 The upper part of the separation means is folded so as to give them sufficient rigidity. In the center of the separation means, a notch (12 ′ gives users a reference point for positioning the half-separation means.

 In all cases where the number of parts is an even number, the separation method to be set first will be that which divides the product in two; the other separation means coming in half to bear on the center of the central separation means and their projection (155 engaging in the perforations made in (7 of the support.

 In the case of a division into five parts, only left and right separation means will be used (half separation means.

 These separation means are of different lengths and heights, which vary according to the dimensions of the molds.

 Users will have these molds in several forms.

Either a background, a support, partitions
Either several funds, a support, partitions.

 For the user who will first equip himself with a bottom, a support and partitions, he can thereafter complete with other bottoms comprising a different number of slots, the assembly allowing him a greater choice in the number of parts.

 When equipped, the user chooses the base which determines the number of parts desired and fixes it in the support.

 We have seen that the bulges located at specific locations on the bottom and on the support allow easy fixing, the slots in the bottom and the marks on the support are in correspondence.

 The dough is then placed in the whole in a traditional way.

 This is when the separation means guided guided by the numbered perforated marks (5) located all around the support (part (7) Fig. 45 in which the projections of the separation means, these the latter will enter by simply pressing into the slots (37 at the bottom, thus dividing the dough horizontally and thereby eliminating any risk of injury.

 When the cooking is finished, it will be enough, with a classic shovel, to spread the parts which will be completely equal, very well presented, without crumbs.

 In the case of baking Cakes like Cake and if the consumption is not done quickly, the user will have interest to leave the means of separation in the mold, thus avoiding on the sides of the parts the contact with the ambient air which dries the food ; the separation means then serving and in addition as protection means.

 The baking and / or preparation molds according to the invention are intended for a very wide range of users, from professionals (manufacturers, caterers, pastry chefs, restaurateurs, tea rooms who sell their sweet or savory products by party Jury for two individuals (housewives or amateur cooks).

 In the manufacturing of molds, two cases should be considered.

 In the first case, to be consumable, the food must be cooked.

 The material to be used is either edible iron or edible aluminum.

 The manufacture of molds and supports requires tools and presses to give the forms to the various parts of the invention.

 The impressions relating to the number of parts will first be produced, then the manufacturer will proceed to the cuts and the shapes will be given to the different parts of the invention with a press comprising the punch-die tool.

 As regards the separation means, a shear and a simple flat press for bending the upper part which gives rigidity are sufficient.

 The sheet or aluminum have a thickness of the order of 5 / poem.

 In the second case, to be consumed, the food must not be cooked.

 The material to be used will not only be sheet metal or aluminum for food, but also plastic.

 In the second case, the presses are replaced by injection machines and the different parts of the invention are molded.

Potential users are:
All the pastry chefs and caterers who offer the sale of split dishes
All restaurateurs, tearooms, who produce their own pastries, pizzas etc ...

All manufacturers of products to be sold by retailers and finally,
All the housewives and amateur cooks who will provide the greatest potential.

 It goes without saying of course and taking into account the above that the invention is in no way limited to the modes of application and embodiments which have been more particularly envisaged; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants.
