Device for continuously making spherical filled encrustations with dough

Claim 1

A DEVICE FOR MAKING UNIFORMLY SIZED SPHERICAL ENCRUSTATIOUS OUT OF A DOUGH ENCLOSING A FILLING SUCH AS IS USED IN THE MAKING OF CAKES OR BUNS, IN WHICH A PAIR OF IDENTICAL ROTARY CIRCULAR CUTTERS COMPLETE WITH SPIRAL AND HELICAL CUTTING EDGES FORMED ON THE CUTTER PERIPHERY AND ALSO WITH SHAFTS DISPOSED PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER, ARE ARRANGED IN THE SAME POSITIONS AND CLOSE TO EACH OTHER WITH A SMALL SEPARATING CLEARANCE AND MADE TO ROTATE WITH THE SAME SPEED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CUTTING EDGES MEETING IN OPPOSITION TO EACH OTHER AT THE SAID CLEARANCE ARE ALWAYS AT THE SAME BUT VARYING ELEVATION; THE SAID CUTTING EDGE ON EACH CUTTER BEING SO SHAPED THAT THE RATE OF INCREASE IN RADIUS OF THE SPIRAL DECREASES, THE STRAIGHT SIDE LINE IN CROSS SECTION OF THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE CUTTING EDGE DECREASES ITS ANGLE OF INCLINATION FROM VERTICAL TO HORIZONTAL, AND THE SHARPNESS OF THE EDGE INCREASES, FROM THE BEGINNING OR UPPER END TOWARD THE TERMINATING OR LOWER END OF THE HELICAL CUTTING EDGE; THE UPPER SIDE OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEING CONCAVED; THE SAID EDGE BEING GENERALLY BLUNTED AT THE POINT WITH A MAXIMUM INCLINATION OF THE SUMMIT AREA GIVEN TO THE UPPER END PORTION; AND THE SAID DOUGH IN CONTINUOUS BAR SHAPE BEING SUPPLIED DOWNWARD AND INTO THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TWO CUTTERS, WHERE THE DOUGH IS ACTED ON BY THE CUTTING EDGES TO BE SHAPED INTO ONE BALL AFTER ANOTHER IN ENDLESS SUCCESSION.

Claim 2

A DEVICE FOR MAKING UNIFORMLY SIZED SPHERICAL ENCRUSTATIOUS OUT OF A DOUGH ENCLOSING A FILLING SUCH AS IS USED IN THE MAKING OF CAKES OR BUNS, IN WHICH A PAIR OF IDENTICAL ROTARY CIRCULAR CUTTERS COMPLETE WITH SPIRAL AND HELICAL CUTTING EDGES FORMED ON THE CUTTER PERIPHERY AND ALSO WITH SHAFTS DISPOSED PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER, ARE ARRANGED IN THE SAME POSITIONS AND CLOSE TO EACH OTHER WITH A SMALL SEPARATING CLEARANCE AND MADE TO ROTATE WITH THE SAME SPEED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CUTTING EDGES MEETING IN OPPOSITION TO EACH OTHER AT THE SAID CLEARANCE ARE ALWAYS AT THE SAME BUT VARYING ELEVATION; THE SAID CUTTING EDGE ON EACH CUTTER BEING SO SHAPED THAT THE RATE OF INCREASE IN RADIUS OF THE SPIRAL DECREASES, THE STRAIGHT SIDE LINE IN CROSS SECTION OF THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE CUTTING EDGE DECREASES ITS ANGLE OF INCLINATION FROM VERTICAL TO HORIZONTAL, AND THE SHARPNESS OF THE EDGE INCREASES, FROM THE BEGINNING OR UPPER END TOWARD THE TERMINATING OR LOWER END OF THE HELICAL CUTTING EDGE; THE UPPER SIDE OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEING CONCAVED; THE SAID EDGE BEING GENERALLY BLUNTED AT THE POINT WITH A MAXIMUM INCLINATION OF THE SUMMIT AREA GIVEN TO THE UPPER END PORTION; AND THE SAID DOUGH IN CONTINUOUS BAR SHAPE BEING SUPPLIED DOWNWARD AND INTO THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TWO CUTTERS, WHERE THE DOUGH IS ACTED ON BY THE CUTTING EDGES TO BE SHAPED INTO ONE BALL AFTER ANOTHER IN ENDLESS SUCCESSION.
