Abstract
Abstract A method for producing fatty confectioneries having three-dimensional decoration deposited thereon comprising the steps of providing a mold having three-dimensional recesses in design, pattern and/or letter configuration, placing a plate mold having through holes corresponding to said recesses in configuration and position on said mold, spraying decorative fatty confectionery material in the form of fine particles into said recesses through said through holes, removing said plate mold from the mold, pouring base fatty confectionery material into said mold over said decorative fatty confectionery material, cooling said mold to cool and solidify said base and decorative fatty confectionery material and removing the resulting confectionery from said mold.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A method for producing fatty confectioneries having three-dimensional decoration in design, pattern and/or letter configuration deposited thereon, comprising the steps of providing a mold having a plurality of three-dimensional recesses in design, pattern and/or letter configuration, placing a plate mold having a plurality of through holes substantially corresponding to said recesses in configuration and position on said mold with the through holes in alignment with the recesses, spraying decorative fatty confectionery material in the form of fine particles into said recesses through said through holes, removing said plate mold from said mold, pouring base fatty confectionery material having a color tone different from the color tone of said decorative fatty confectionery material into said mold, cooling said forming mold to solidify said base and decorative fatty confectionery material and removing the resulting confectionery from said mold.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
136 words
A method for producing fatty confectioneries having three-dimensional decoration in design, pattern and/or letter configuration deposited thereon, comprising the steps of providing a mold having a plurality of three-dimensional recesses in design, pattern and/or letter configuration, placing a plate mold having a plurality of through holes substantially corresponding to said recesses in configuration and position on said mold with the through holes in alignment with the recesses, spraying decorative fatty confectionery material in the form of fine particles into said recesses through said through holes, removing said plate mold from said mold, pouring base fatty confectionery material having a color tone different from the color tone of said decorative fatty confectionery material into said mold, cooling said forming mold to solidify said base and decorative fatty confectionery material and removing the resulting confectionery from said mold.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said recesses have a width of at least 1 mm and a depth which allows said confectionery to be released from said recesses mold and said decorative fatty confectionery material has a viscosity of 90,000 centipoises or below.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said particle has a diameter of 0.5 mm at the largest.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said decorative fatty confectionery material is fed to the bottom of a hollow truncated conical rotary member and sprayed off the outer peripheral edge of said rotary member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said decorative fatty confectionery material is fed to the bottom of a hollow truncated conical rotary member and sprayed through the clearance between said outer peripheral edge of the rotary member and an annular plate positioned spaced from the outer peripheral edge of said rotary member in opposing the peripheral edge.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method as set forth in claim 5, in which the annular plate is positioned spaced from the outer peripheral edge of the rotary member at a distance of 0.5-2 millimeters.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method as set forth in claim 4 or 5, in which the inner surface of said rotary member is sloped with respect to the bottom of the rotary member at an angle of at least 15°.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said through holes in the plate mold have a depth of 1 mm at the largest.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said mold is previously adjusted to a temperature of 27° C. or below.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said plate mold has through holes connected to the matrix of the plate mold by means of upwardly warped wire sections.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
69 words
The method as set forth in claim 1, in which said decorative fatty confectionery material is fed to the bottom of a pair of hollow truncated conical rotary members, which are assembled together at their outer peripheral edges with the concaved sides of the members facing each other to define a space therebetween, having plurality of equally spaced radially tapered projections and sprouting orifices therebetween at said peripheral edges.
