Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a mold used primarily for baking a sponge when manufacturing a shortcake.

[Background Art] When baking the sponge B when manufacturing the shortcake 4, conventionally, a plurality of round layer molds 10 (for example, four) as shown in FIG. 1 are set in a frame 11.
The sponge dough is placed in this layer mold 10 and baked in an oven, etc.
They were trying to manufacture a round sponge B like this.

Then, by applying cream 12 on the surface of this sponge B as shown in Figure 2, adding a cream border 13 around the circumference, and cutting it radially at the waist, it is shaped like a fan as shown in Figure 2 C. You will get 4 shortcakes.

However, when sponge B is baked in a round shape like this, it is necessary to apply cream 12 or cream border decoration 13.
The work of applying jelly for gloss, and the work of decorating fruits must be done along the circle of Sponge B, so it must be done while turning Sponge B, and furthermore, it must be done radially. Similarly, the work of cutting the sponge B must be done while turning the sponge B, and if this was done by hand, it would require skill and would be very inefficient, and it is desirable to mechanize this work. Also, since a mechanism for rotating the sponge B is required, the machine becomes complicated and the equipment cost becomes expensive.

In addition, when stocking the round sponges B as described above, when arranging a large number of sponges B vertically and horizontally, a space is created between each sponge 8 and it is not possible to arrange them closely together due to the lack of space, so the space at the stocking location is limited. The problem is that it is widely needed.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and it is intended to fire a sponge that can be easily used for applying cream, squeezing out cream border decorations, cutting, etc., and does not take up much space in stock. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shortcake baking mold that can be used to bake shortcakes.

[Disclosure of invention]

However, the shortcake baking mold according to the present invention is a rectangular box-shaped baking mold 1 whose top surface is a long quadrilateral and whose top surface is open.
On the inner surface of each long side 2.2 of the baking mold 1, a plurality of concave curved surfaces 3, 3, . The width dimension is the same as the width dimension of the arcuate surface of the shortcake 4, which has a sector-shaped flat cross section, and the width dimension of the short sides 5, 5 of the baking mold 1 is set to be the same as the width dimension of the arcuate surface of the shortcake 4, which has a sector-shaped flat section. The firing mold 1 having such a structure is a distant relative of the above object, and the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which the baking mold 1 is made of a metal material or the like and is shaped like a square box with a bottom and an elongated quadrilateral top surface. Opposing long sides 2,
Concave curved surfaces 3, 3, . . . , whose inner surfaces are concavely curved in a planar arc shape are formed over the entire length in the longitudinal direction.

The width dimension 11 of each concave curved surface 3 is set to be the same as the width dimension 12 of the circular arc shape 14 of the sponge of the shortcake 4 cut into a fan shape as shown in FIG.
Width dimension 13 of the short sides 5, 5 between the inner surfaces of the long sides 2, 2
is set to be the same dimension as the dimension 14 between the arcuate surface 14 and the apex of the sponge of the shortcake 4 as shown in FIG. 2C.

Further, the depth dimension 15 of the baking mold 1 is set to be approximately the same as the height dimension 16 of the sponge B of the shortcake 4 as shown in FIG. 2C.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the concave curved surfaces 3 are formed at opposing positions on each of the long sides 2, 2.

Furthermore, the baking mold 1 may be longer than the one shown in Figure 3, and the number of concave curved surfaces 3 may be increased.In this way, shortcakes can be made in large quantities efficiently. This means that it can be manufactured.

However, when manufacturing the shortcake 4 using the baking mold 1 formed as described above, first put the sponge batter into the baking mold 1, place it in an oven, etc., and set it under predetermined temperature conditions. Firing is done at the base.

By performing baking in this manner, a sponge C as shown in FIG. 4a can be obtained, and the sponge C is taken out from the baking mold 1.

Since this sponge C is almost rectangular, when stocking a large number of sponges C, each sponge C can be lined up vertically and horizontally with no gaps, and the stocking area is larger than that of the large sponge B. can be made smaller.

Next, as shown in Figure 4, cream 12 is applied to the top and side surfaces of the sponge C, and cream border decorations 13 are squeezed out and attached to both side edges of the top of the sponge C.

These operations can be performed along the longitudinal direction of the sponge C and there is no need to rotate the sponge C, so that they can be easily performed without requiring any skill and can be easily mechanized.

Also, when applying jelly or decorating with fruit, it can be easily done in the same way as above.

Next, after applying cream 1 and 12 as shown in Figure 4, by cutting it along the dashed line in Figure 4, the arcuate surface 14 is formed by the concave curved surface 3 of the baking mold 1. It is possible to obtain a shortcake 4 having the same shape as the fan-shaped shape shown in FIG. 2C.

Here, since the cutting operation can be performed along the longitudinal direction of the sponge C without the need to rotate the sponge as in the case of radial cutting, the cutting operation can be performed in the same way as the application of the cream 12. This is easy to do, and even when a slicer robot is used to automatically cut, there is no need to use a robot with a complicated structure.

The cutting can be done using the concave groove 15 between the arcuate surfaces 14 and 14 formed on the sponge C by the concave curved surface 3 of the baking mold 1 as a guide, so it is possible to cut with accurate dimensions. It will be possible.

Furthermore, since the shortcakes 4 are lined up in a straight line as shown in FIG. 6 in the state in which they are cut as described above, the shortcakes 4 are made to flow in the X direction using a conveyor belt or the like. This makes it possible to take out the shortcakes in a fixed orientation without turning them one by one (Y direction), making it easier to wrap side paper, stretched polypropylene sheets, etc. around the shortcake 4, and making it easier to mechanize. At the same time, when packaging the finished shortcake 4 in boxes, the 6th
The shortcakes 4 can be placed in the box in the same arrangement as shown in the figure, and this work can be done efficiently.

In the above embodiment, the concave curved surface 3 was formed to face each long side 2 of the baking mold 1, but as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the concave curved surface 3 of the other long side 2 may be formed at a position shifted by half a pitch, and in this way, the shortcake 4 can be cut into a square sector shape.

In this case, loss of the sponge C will occur in the shaded area in Figure 5a, but in this case, as shown in Figure 5, the short side 5
If it is formed at an angle, no loss will occur.

Further, although the above description has been made regarding a sponge cake shortcake, the baking mold 1 of the present invention can also be used when producing shortcakes by cutting cheesecakes, piecakes, etc. into fan shapes.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, according to the baking mold of the present invention, the sponge for shortcake can be baked as a long piece rather than a round one, and the application of cream and the squeezing out of the cream border can be done by rotating the sponge. Slicing can be easily done without the need for turning the sponge, and the mechanization of shortcake production can be easily implemented. It doesn't take up much space.

Moreover, the concave curved surface formed on the long side of the baking mold allows the cut shortcake to be formed into a fan shape, making it possible to obtain shortcakes with the exact same shape as those produced from round sponges. It is something.
