Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A known process for making tinto inches consists of placing a food stuffing inside a tubular element, introducing the tubular element into a piece of bread, and then inserting the tubular element into a piece of bread. This is accomplished by simultaneously drawing out and transferring the stuffing contained in the tubular element into the pan.

The apparatus for carrying out this step comprises a monolithic element having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the bread slice to be stuffed and a length at least as long as the length of the bread slice, containing a beading material, the tubular The element, on the one hand, has its Il! i] by a movable stop valve at the end and by a piston-like element near the rear end on the other hand.

The present invention has a unique use in that it is intended to be served as a stuffed bread, and
The object is to provide an advantageous packing concept in which it is not necessary to use an accessory machine for this filling operation.

Based on the basic features of the present invention, n11 of the element
The end is generally frustoconical or pyramid-shaped and has a slit that can expand under the pressure of the food product when the food product is placed in the tubular element in the pan, and the rear end of the tubular element carries a gripping means. It is growing.

This km is 111 to make the bread contents flow better.
Since the round button shape at the end is appropriately selected, when handling Tokunζ earless bread, the tubular element can be easily inserted into the bread, and a cavity with good connection can be obtained. A food path with a cross section suitable for transferring the medium-sized food is ensured.

Due to the shape of the slit, the front end can open like a tulip or a valve leaflet.

Another feature of the present invention is that the rear end of the τ°-shaped element, i.e., the end opposite to the part where the middle washing of the pan is introduced, has a cross section including a part shaped like Ft' f. It has gripping means formed by the enlarged area of the. More than this ^
E: fj! r allows the user to firmly grip the back of the element when transferring the food into the pan, keeping hands clean even if the back of the element becomes greasy due to exudate. I will live without it.

The tubular element, at least over the area for insertion into the pan, is covered by a coating of synthetic material 4, and the part f171P of the coating is closed on the side of the tubular element, and the coating is covered with a movable KIi. ! 11 is advantageously determined.

According to one preferred embodiment, the closed end of the sheath fits flush against the front end of the tubular element.

The coating ensures the hygiene of the food during various operations and the retention of exudates during the entire operation and heating, in particular when the tubular element and the food it contains are placed in a hot tub and heated. Forms an airtight envelope.

Furthermore, the coating ensures that the frustoconical front end of the tubular element is kept in a closed position and serves to avoid food escaping when the food product is packed into the tubular element.

According to one embodiment of the water art, the smart element has a piston with a longitudinal slit extending over its entire length and diametrically projecting fingers, the fingers extending through the slit of the tubular element. The transverse section, and its free end, also has all the parts forming the push lever.

In practice, in making the tint inch, the tubular element is introduced into the bread slice until the push lever in question hits the rear end of the bread slice. The thumb of the hand holding the noggin rests on the lever and prevents it from translating, while the other hand applies a pulling force on the rear end of the tubular element.

As a result, a relative displacement between the cylindrical element and the piston is possible due to the slit provided in the tubular element, which serves as a guideway for the fingers projecting from the piston.

Advantageously, the coating is fixed at one point on the tubular element near the open dry part. This arrangement ensures that the gas produced by the food product when reheating escapes, but first of all through the slit provided between the tubular element and the bonding point of the covering. become.

Depending on the type of filler and the reheating conditions of the tubular element, one may consider intermittent or non-intermittent fixation of the wavelength onto the tubular element by screwing, screwing, soldering, or gluing. However, the important thing is that by pulling, cutting, or tearing the covering, you can break the association between these elements.

Furthermore, the slit element has longitudinal ribs projecting outwardly, into which the slits extend.

This rib prevents the coating from sticking tightly onto the tubular element and also creates a longitudinal flow path between the tubular element and the coating, allowing gases produced by the heat treatment to escape therefrom.

Advantageously, the slit has successively narrower areas. These narrowed areas tr serve as a bulwark to prevent the slit from closing under the pressure of the coating and to ensure that there is space for gas to escape.

According to another embodiment of the device, a wire or similar other tensioning element is fixed on the spinning surface of the piston closing the rear end of the tubular element and extends over the entire length of the tubular element; Furthermore, it protrudes beyond its front end.

In practice, in such cases the tubular element is placed inside the pan.
inserted until it protrudes from the front end of the tubular element so that the user can grasp the end of the tensioning element to prevent movement of the piston when pulling the tubular element out of the pan. It becomes like this.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be better understood by the following description, which refers to the accompanying drawings, which show, by way of example, several embodiments of the device. However, it is not the case that these examples do not limit the scope of the present invention.

The device shown in Figures 1 to q includes a shell-like element 3'z for containing a food product 3'z forming the filling of a bread slice q. The @ end, S, of this tubular element is approximately frustoconical and has longitudinal and transverse slits 6 and 7;
In normal conditions, these slits keep their front ends in a conical shape, but when pressure is applied to the food 3 stored inside the element, the front ends can be opened.

As shown in the figure, the rear end of the smart element (〇) is expanded to create a collar-shaped portion (ring).

In general, the tubular element has a longitudinal slit 9 extending over its entire length and leading into an outwardly projecting rib //.
It honors.

As shown in Figure 3, the inside of the slit 9 is not constant, but has a certain number of narrowed areas 9a,
These serve to prevent the slit from being cut in the wider area when the hem is supported. The rear end of this tubular element is closed by a piston 10 which is connected to a crosspiece 13.
It is made up of two parallel disks connected by a slit, and from this branch, fingers protrude in the diametrical direction by cutting a slit, and the free arc The part is provided with a push lever-like part is.

Preferably, the claw-like element is encased 4 by a covering 16 of soft synthetic material up to the level of the push lever 15 of the piston IQ.
The gil end edge of the tubular element of this coating is closed and flush against said end, and its open rear end is dotted onto the tubular element, for example with adhesive. Fixed.

In reality, the food product 3 is aligned inside the tubular element after being applied with the coating/l'i, but the coating remains in place throughout the various operations of handling and reheating and remains inside the pan. It is only withdrawn from the tubular element just before it is introduced into the tubular element.

As shown in the fern diagram, the tubular element is inserted into the pan until the push lever 15 abuts the rear end of the pan. Here, the user places his finger on the push lever, holds the pan with the thumb of his hand, and uses his other hand to pull the ring S, causing the tubular element to snap into place. It can be pulled back out and the food moved into the pan.

FIG. 5 shows a different embodiment of this device, in which the tubular element is slitted and the inner surface of the piston/(7a) has a puller, such as a wire. A tension bar is fixed, the wire extending over the entire length of the tubular element and protruding beyond its front end.The piston 10a is held by a ratchet mechanism and at the rear. Through the passage, a rib/g projects near the rear end on the inner surface of the tubular element.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. It can be made up of two pins (a) or, as shown in the right part of the figure, four pins (gb) of '5'J movement 2. In these cases, the tubular element is inserted into the bread cutter until the J end of the tubular element extends beyond the bread cut.

At this point ζ, the user suppresses the wire 1 and then moves the piston 1
Hold 0af and pull the tubular element, 2, back onto the ring &a.

Figures 6 and 7 show a modification of the front end of the tubular element, in which the tubular element includes a longitudinal suline l-6
Al, it's not on.

As is clear from the foregoing description, the present invention is conceptually simple and extremely easy to use with a wide variety of foods that can be introduced into bread slices after cooling or reheating. Moreover, by providing titk that can create a tint inch in an extremely hygienic manner,
This is a major improvement over the existing technology.
