Abstract
Abstract A confectionery filling is supercooled to a temperature below its solidification point, the supercooled filling is injected through a jet nozzle into the cavity of an edible shell at a superatmospheric pressure sufficient to make the filling flowable, and the flowable filling is permitted to solidify in the cavity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A METHOD OF MECHANICALLY FILLING THE CAVITY OF AN OPEN EDIBLE TUBULAR WAFER WITH A MELTED CONFECTIONERY FILLING WHOSE SOLIDIFICATION POINT AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE IS NO LOWER THAN NORAMAL ROOM TEMPERATURE, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF SUPERCOOLING THE MELTED FILLING UNDER SUPERATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE TO A TEMPERATURE BELOW THE SOLIDIFACTION POINT THEREOF, AND ESSENTIALLY HORIZONTALLY INJECTING THE SUPERCOOLED FILLING THROUGH A JET NOZZLE INTO THE CAVITY OF THE TUBULAR WAFER AT THE SUPERATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE WHILE MAINTAINING THE TUBULAR WAFER IN AN ESSENTIALLY HORIZONTAL POSITION WHEREBY THE FILLING SOLIDIFIS IN THE CAVIY.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
89 words
A METHOD OF MECHANICALLY FILLING THE CAVITY OF AN OPEN EDIBLE TUBULAR WAFER WITH A MELTED CONFECTIONERY FILLING WHOSE SOLIDIFICATION POINT AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE IS NO LOWER THAN NORAMAL ROOM TEMPERATURE, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF SUPERCOOLING THE MELTED FILLING UNDER SUPERATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE TO A TEMPERATURE BELOW THE SOLIDIFACTION POINT THEREOF, AND ESSENTIALLY HORIZONTALLY INJECTING THE SUPERCOOLED FILLING THROUGH A JET NOZZLE INTO THE CAVITY OF THE TUBULAR WAFER AT THE SUPERATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE WHILE MAINTAINING THE TUBULAR WAFER IN AN ESSENTIALLY HORIZONTAL POSITION WHEREBY THE FILLING SOLIDIFIS IN THE CAVIY.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature of the supercooled filling being injected into the cavity is between about 1*C. and 8*C. below the solidification point at atmospheric pressure, the injection pressure being up to about 20 atmospheres.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 2, wherein the temperature of the supercooled filling being injected into the cavity is between about 3*C. and 5*C. below the solidification point at atmospheric pressure, the injection pressure being up to about 10 atmospheres.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the tubular wafer is maintained at about normal room temperature and about atmospheric pressure to permit substantially immediate solidification of the filling in the cavity.
