Description

The present invention relates to a method of embossing a pattern on the surface of a cookie, a biscuit, or the like with a clear pattern, and the pattern thereof.

As the kneaded confectionery such as biscuits and cookies, those having a pattern such as an animal, a flower, or a character on the surface, and those having various shapes are provided.

The pattern on the surface of the confectionery is formed by pressing and engraving a convex shape in the shape of each pattern against the confectionery dough. However, not only fine patterns but also other patterns are rarely expressed clearly.

The reason is that the conventional pattern formation engraves the surface pattern at the same time as the die cutting of the outer contour shape of the confectionery. The confectionery dough to be die-cut is left to rest for a while so that it has viscosity and elasticity, and then embossed. Therefore, even if it is engraved on the upper surface during firing, it tends to return to its original shape, so each engraved recessed part returns to its original shape and the pattern becomes unclear, and even finer patterns cannot be created at all. ..

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-210112

Biscuit and cookie dough cannot be embossed with a pattern having irregularities unless it is appropriately viscous and elastic. When the pattern is embossed, the dough part of the cookie corresponding to the convex part of the mold is dented by being pressed from above the convex part of the mold, and the amount of dough for the concave part extends laterally in response to the pressing pressure. do. That is, the dough is extruded laterally.

In the conventional embossing method, the outline shape of the confectionery is cut out at the same time as the pattern is engraved by pressing from above, so that the confectionery dough is extended in the lateral direction when pressure is applied from above. Is stopped by the surrounding die-cutting frame. Therefore, the confectionery dough stays in the mold under pressure.

After that, even if the embossing is finished and the pressure from above is released, the lateral pressure is still applied to the embossed convex part of the embossing, so the die is not easily removed and the shape of the engraved part is damaged. Since the fabric compressed in the lateral direction also tries to return to the concave portion of the engraved portion, it is considered that a clear pattern is not formed.

In the present invention, the embossing step of engraving a pattern of an animal, a flower, or a character on the surface of a pastry such as a biscuit or a cookie and the die-cutting step of creating various contour shapes thereof are not performed at the same time. By performing with a time lag, in the first embossing process of pressing from above, the extension of the amount of dough corresponding to the pressing force in the lateral direction is not stopped by the die-cutting frame, and then By punching and cutting the contour in the next step, lateral pressure is not applied to the concave part of the fabric corresponding to the convex part of the stamping die, so that the die is removed after embossing, that is, the mold releasability. It is good and does not damage the shape of the engraved part. Further, since the dough is compressed in the lateral direction and the extension of the dough is not stopped, the dough does not return and the influence on the pattern recess on the surface of the confectionery can be avoided.

Unlike the conventional method, the embossing of the pattern on the surface of the confectionery and the die-cutting process of creating the contour shape are not performed at the same time, but the embossing of the pattern and the contour die-cutting process are separated. Since the pressing force and lateral extension of the concave portion of the pattern are not stopped, the dough does not return, the shape of the concave portion is maintained, and a pattern that remains clear can be easily obtained.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a manual punching die. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a manual punching die. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a continuous embossing process.

The present invention will be described with reference to the examples shown in the figure.

1 and 2 are a cross-sectional view and a perspective view showing a single unit of the manual punching die used in the present invention.
At the center in the vertical direction, a support base 2 is located at four corners or more (four corners in the embodiment) supported by legs 1 at a constant height, and a height adjusting screw 3 is inserted through the support base 2. It is projected downward.

A push die 4 for engraving a pattern is detachably fitted to the lower end of the height adjusting screw 3. Various patterns are prepared for the push die 4, and the push die 4 having a desired pattern is selected and fitted to the lower end of the adjusting screw 3. The height adjusting screw 3 is fitted by adjusting the height so that the stamped portion 9 penetrates into the cookie base when the stamped portion 9 of the stamp 4 is set on the fabric according to the thickness of the cookie base. Will be done.

Above the support base 2, a plurality of support shafts 8 (4 in the embodiment) wound with compression springs 7 are arranged at appropriate intervals, and the lower end thereof penetrates the support base 2 of the punching die 4. It holds the punching die 5 that punches out the outline shape of the cookie. The upper ends of the plurality of adjusting screws 8 are fixed to the holding plates 6 located above in parallel with the support base. The punching die 5 is formed in a frame shape at the outer peripheral position of the pushing die 4.

The height of the lower end of the punching die 5 is adjusted by a support shaft 8 that moves up and down so as to be located above the engraved portion 9 of the push die 4. Then, when the pressing plate 6 is pushed downward against the spring 7 wound around the support shaft 8, the support shaft 8 also lowers, and the punching die 5 cuts the cookie dough A according to the shape of the punching die.

The punching die 5 cuts a cookie, hits it against a mounting table or a line belt on which a base is placed, and then releases the pressure of the upper pressing plate 6, so that the spring 7 wound around the support shaft 8 is wound. Is decompressed and returns upward, and the die 5 also returns upward.
In this way, the engraved portion 9 first penetrates the fabric from above and engraves the pattern. At that time, the punching die 5 for cutting the shape is stopped at the upper side and does not come into contact with the fabric, so that the lateral extension of the fabric when engraved is not restricted, and the shape is cut after that. Therefore, the unevenness of the engraved portion remains as it is engraved, and a clear pattern can be created.

Next, the continuous production process shown in FIG. 3 will be described.
In the case of continuous production, a plurality of the punching dies are arranged side by side, and the cookie dough transported on the belt is sequentially lowered from above to repeat embossing and die cutting.
The stamping die portion 14 for engraving the pattern used in the first embodiment and the punching die portion 15 which is a frame for cutting the shape are separated and vertically hung on the same support base 12 so that they can be pushed down at the same time.

The height of each mold portion up to the cookie dough A sent downward by the belt, as described in the first embodiment, the stamp 14 penetrates into the surface of the dough when pushed down. The height is adjusted so that unevenness can be engraved, and the punching die 15 is adjusted to a height until it reaches the belt B on which the dough is placed so that the dough A can be cut when pressed down.

When the cookie dough A conveyed by the belt B moves directly under the stamping die 14, the support base 12 to which the stamping die 14 is attached descends onto the cookie dough A and stamps (a). ). At the same time, the die 15 which is the shape frame of the pattern is also lowered to cut the dough (b).

When the engraving and cutting are completed, the support base 12 rises together with both molds 14 and 15, and when the fabric portion directly under the stamping mold 14 moves to just below the adjacent punching mold 15, the support base 12 descends again. The engraved portion is cut with a punching die that is a shape frame of the pattern (b). At the same time, a new dough has moved to the dough portion previously engraved with the stamping die 14, and the new dough portion is simultaneously engraved (a).

In this way, the pattern embossing (a) and the shape die cutting (b) by the mold are repeatedly performed in accordance with the movement of the dough. The length of the interval between the adjacent pressing die 14 and the punching die 15, the amount of movement of the dough A, and the vertical movement of the die can be adjusted by a known timing device.

According to the present invention, a mold having a simple structure can be used to create a fine and clear pattern on the surface of a cookie or the like. It can also be used in fields such as kamaboko, caramel, and jelly, which are similar pastes.
