Original Np. 1,257,497, dated February 28, 1918, Serial reissue filed September so,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD H. LANIER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of .lincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pastry-Making Apparatus, of which 'the following is a. specification.

My invention relates to the manufacture of that class of pastry which is in the form of cones intended for ices and otherpurposes, and to this end the referred embodiment of which consists 0 an apparatus in which I make use of two series of molds or dies, one with cores and the other with corresponding sockcts, and means whereby the cores are coated and the two parts then brought together and heated and then separated and the baked material detached, and iu'certain details of construction and means of operation, all as fully set forth hereinafter and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a. side viewof an apparatus embodyin my invention, arts of which are i]lustratefdiagrammatica l Fig. 2 a plan view of the machine, parts bein omitted;

In the manufacture of hollow pastry or like material I make use of cones of a plu- Ro. 468,868, filed December 10, 1908. Applieation for 1918. Serial 1%. 258,355.

rality of pairs of dies, or carriers, as I prefer to call them, one of which comprising a Specification of Beissued Letters Patent. Reissued May 20, 1919, I

head A, Fig. 4, supports a plurality of cores v 2, 2 of the shape in which it is desired to mold and bake the pastry, and the other com prising a bed B, is provided with a series of sockets as, each adapted to receive one of the cores of the carrier A, so that the two members constitute in fact male and female dies. Series of pairs of like carriers are operated upon together in such manner that the cores after being dipped into a batter will be brought into the sockets of the other carriers,

and, while the two sets of carriers are thus together, will be heated to bake the material,

after which the carriers of the two sets are rial removed from the cores.

In carrying out these operations the carriers may be operated upon in ways. For instance, as indicated by the diagram 11, the male carriers or core carriers may be pair of tracks 0, and the female or soc eted carriers may be guided back and forth upon a pair of tracks E. receptacle D may be so arranged .at each end that it may be moved to and from the core carriers so as to coat the cores thereof, and the tracks of the two sets of. carriers are so constructed as to bring them together after such efi'ected and maintain them incontact above a suitable heater K,consisting of a coil of steam pipes or perforated gas pipes, orof any other suitable character, carriers have been. sufficiently are separated by the deflection of the tracks. In the construction shown in Fig. 11, the

carriers after being separated are passed to- I form of a chain by'links B, and theheads A of the several units are similarly connected by links A to form a chain,-as it were.

In the construction showman Fig. 12 the two tracks C, E are each formed that the core carriers will travel upon the outer track parallel $0 the inner- ;track for a part of the trackfbut the outer and after the heated they w continuous and sosuccessively separated and the baked'mateguided back and forth u on a coating is I length of the outer track extends beyond the in Figs 11 and 12 the I guide disks ing introduced into the sockets then carried together along the bottom rails C, and, together arl mnd the disks F at the directly above the core carriers.

and the carriersof each series may disks at the left of Fig. 1 and ton'irailsC, (I

"inner track so that the core and socketed carriers will be separated as the core carrlers are carried beyond the limits of the innerfltrack, and will be again brought to getherbelow the inner track after the core carriers are coated. To e 'ect such coating the outer track ma be dipped or deflecte downwardto a slig 1t extent above the paste or batter receptacle D so that the cores are introduced into the said receptacle for a tiine and; then lifted out. In the illustration tracks are supposed to suitable side rails, be loosely in contact, or areferably, chained together.

A preferable construction for many purposes is illustrated in the remaining figures of the drawings in which the substantially horizontal portions of the tracks consist of rails C, while the curved connecting portions are formed in the shape of. rotatable guides consisting of disksF with recesses y to receive the ends of the carriers, the series of core carriers being linked together. this construction the rails C, C for the core carriers are arranged outside of the rails or guidesE, E for the socketed carriers, as best shown in Fig. 4, and the rails E terminate at a point a, Fig. 3, where the core carriers are received in the notcl'ies of the disks H hereinafter more particularly referred to. To reduce friction. the different carriers are provided with anti-friction rollers 3, which runupon the rails. i

As shownin Figs. 1 and 2 core carriers are guided upon tially parallel rails C. C and by F, F and at the desired point between the two pairs of guide disks F, F are arranged the guide disks H upon a drive shaft 4, and the core carriers will be carried around the upon the but to the disks. H where they will socketed carriers. the cones be of said. carriers and the two series of carriers being continuous grooves in the series of the SllbSbl'tlF met by the right, and together upon the upper guide rails (l, 1* until they are above the shaft 4- of the disks H. At this point the. rails E tern'iinate so that the socketed carriers may pass from these rails lfionto the peripl'leries of the disks H, being receiredi'in' the-reot e 3 thereof, and being'tlnis guided to travel in a circle downward, to meet the core carriers that are'traveling upon the as before dc. :ribed. carriers are not connected by links a sujital'il guide I may be arranged to hold the B in the recesses y intil said carriers are In order to properly free the cores iroin thesockets as the socketed carriers B on the slightly at a and pass through they pass from the the rotatable czu'riers then .in inverted as a result of this coi'istrllotion shown. there the right hand en d lower rails, c the arriers guide disks are separatedfromthe, upper core carriers it is best to elevate the trar s (j point beyond the disks H, as best shown in Fig. 3, and in order that the cores may be properly coated with the batter I prefer to deflect or bend downward the guide tracks C between the points 5, (3, Fig. 3, adjacent to the batter receptacle D, Fig. 3, so that the cores will be caused to dip into the batter and then. rise out of thesame as the carriers pass onto the guide disks F. Further to insure the upper introduction of the cores into the soc ets of the carriers B as the latter are brought by the disks H to contacting position, I prefer to form an upward bend in the outer tracks C at the point 7, Fig. 3.

Beyond the point Where the two series of carriers are brought together I arrange suit able heating means, as for instance a ties of perforated pipes 8, the flame of which is directed upon both sets of carriers so as to heat the same as they travel toward the right in Figs. 1 and 2, and second of perforated pipes 9 may be arranged above the first so as to heat the carriers as rigit toward the guide disks H, and also from the left toward the disks H.

To insure the proper i'nolding of the run-- terial it best to bring the two sets of carriers together under more or less pressure. This may bedone in different Ways,

guide disks F at the.

but in the construction shown I support a bearing rail J by pivoted arms 10 at each side of the machine above the lower track G between the disks F, H, in such position as to bear upon the rollers 3 of the socketcd position Fig; '9 and press the latter down against the core carriers With a degree of pressure which may be regulated by means of a anging from the rail J. It will. that with the bar .I pivoted at its at 10 and the two ends Weight W located Where a variable pressure or gradual pressure exerted the molds pass irom left to rightin. Fig. .1, the action of the presscr bar J being that of a. lever Whose relatively ti ad fulcrum is at the right hand end 10 at the time the inolds enter under the left hand end and the force applied. by the weight W acts on the bar J With-i1v leverage measured "l )y..the length fronrlV to 10 in figure and applied by the leverage measured by the length of the bar .lhfroin end to enlh t is measure of leverage decreasing the molds weight be noted,

"meats together Is not only a yielding pres Any suitable means new be GIIIIJlOflQd for detaching the baked articles after the bakmg is completed. Preferably. inorder to insure that they may remain in contact with the cores the latter have slight notchesv 11, Fig. 4, in their peripheries which is suflicient to insure the desired adhesion.

i As the material will thus adhere to the cores when the latter are withdrawn from the sockets 'of the carriers B, it becomes necessaryto detach the same before the cores are again introduced into the batter, and to this end I connect eachcore to a sliding rod 12, sliding in the carrier A and normally carried in one direction b y a spring 13 hearing upon a button or head 14 on the rod, and on the carrier so as to normally maintain the base of the cores in contact with the carrier. After the cores leave the sockets the carriers A are brought beneath a cross bar or other suitable actuating device K, whereby the rods are depressed and as thus depressed the upper portions of the cores w1ll be brought'to a plane so as to pass beneath certain horizontal fingers 15' I upon standards 16, and as the pass from beneath the device K they are elevated by' the springs 13, and the material adher ing to the cores and which extends beyond the latter (in consequence of the spreading of the batter when the cores with the applied batter are seated in the sockets or. cavities of the mold beds) will be caught by the fingers 15 and held sothat the cores can separate therefrom, the baked material then falling into a suitable chute L, by which it may be directed into any desired receptacle. To more effectually insure the separation of the material from the cores in consequence of the adhesion afforded by the recesses c, I may rotate the cores by rotating the rods or stems 13. One means of doing this is illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6 where the rods are shown as provided with mesh-' ing )inions 17, and the end pinion is brought at the proper time against the stationary rack 18 secured ,the carriers travel forward the pinions are rotated, and the cores also are rotated, this operation being efl'ected of course after the cores have left the'sockets of the carriers 13' and insuring separation of the material from the cores 'i'liasmuclniasvbefore described, as the batterextends between the different 1 cores and prevents the material from turning when the cores are rotated. In some instances it is not necessary to thus rotate the cores in which case the construction may be as illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8, and in order to more effectually force away the material on the cores and on the carrier A, I may perforate the latter for the passage of pushers,.

shown in the form of pins 19,1!) secured to a cross-har'zll. r-onnerti d with all of the pins or stems 13. and on the depression of the crossbar 2!. th pins 1 are tori-ed through the c: rrier A. against the material that has been p6 baked, in contact with the said carrier so to the frame, and as as to force shells of baked material away from the carrier and from the cores. \Vhen the push pins 19 are employed alone to detach the (one sheet from the bar 1 and from the cores 2, the abutment. roller K would be designed to engage said pins only without engaging the stems 13, and the bar 20 will not be used when the abutment, roller K is employed. If the bar 20 is to be used with'the pins 19 alone, it will have a loose or sliding connection with the stem 13, while when it is to be used to depress the stems 13, it will be firmly connected thereto.

In Fig. 10

I have shown the arrangement where both the fingers 15 and the rotating cores are employed, I have found it better to make the actuating device K in the form of a rod 22, upon which loosely rotates a corrugated sleeve 23,- the opening in which is greater in diameter than the rod and which will properly engage the. knobs 14 at the ends of the stems 13, and the rod 19, and insure the depressionof the latter without acting too positively.

It will be evident that the carriers may be differently constructed and guided and that each carrier may have any desired number of cores orisockets, and that they may he propelled one after the other whether in contact or linked together, or independently by difi'erent,means..

In order to properly grease the molds I make use of lubricating apparatus arranged between the disks Hland the receptacle or pan D. As shown a shaft 30, adjacent to the disks H, earriesa series of disks 30 of cloth or felt or'othe-r suitable material which rotate in grease in a' pan 31, and the shaft 30 is driven from the shaft 4 (see dotted 105 lines 30, Fig. 1)' so as to rotate the roll and lubricate the female molds, the shaft 4 being driven from a motor M or in any other suitable manner. There is also a cylindrical grease roller 32, the shaft 30 and 1n contact with which the cores are successively brought so as to be properly lubricated.

'The shaft 33 is perforated and communicates at the end with a grease tank X, from 115 which a supply passes to the roller 32 in suflicient quantity to properly lubricate the cores. The roller 32 is properly made of cloth. Preferably the roller on the shaft 30 has nipples 30 adapted to enter the molds. 120
