Abstract

Abstract A bag (1) for use in the shaping of liquid food products or stimulants consists of two plastics foils (2, 3), which are welded together in such an area of the two foils as will provide a plurality of interconnected mould cavities (4) with a common inlet (5). In the mould cavities (4) there are placed sticks (6) which are held in position by the positioning in a channel (8) having a length and cross-section corresponding to the holding part (7) of the stick (6). When the bag is filled with liquid ice cream or a similar material, the mould cavities (4) are distended three-dimensionally, and when the length of the sticks (6) is suitably dimensioned with respect to the length of the mould cavities (4), the sticks will be firmly "fixed" within the mould cavities (4). The sticks (6) are therefore placed in the middle of the ice lollies formed after freezing.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 63 words
A bag for use in the shaping of liquid food products, the food products to be adhered to a plurality of sticks, comprising: at least two layers of foil which are partly joined to form a plurality of interconnected mould cavities with a common inlet, said partly joined layers defining means for securing the sticks at a desired position in the mould cavities.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 63 words
A bag for use in the shaping of liquid food products, the food products to be adhered to a plurality of sticks, comprising: at least two layers of foil which are partly joined to form a plurality of interconnected mould cavities with a common inlet, said partly joined layers defining means for securing the sticks at a desired position in the mould cavities.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 41 words
A bag as claimed in claim 1, wherein the stick is a holding stick for ice lollies, the stick having a holding part protruding from the mould cavity, and the two layers of foil are welded together around said holding part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 40 words
A bag as claimed in claim 1 wherein the bag has a channel which is formed by the layers of foil, for slidably receiving an end of one of the sticks, the channel having a cross-section corresponding to the sticks.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 54 words
A bag as claimed in claim 3, wherein the mould cavities and the sticks are dimensioned such that the sticks are precisely so much shorter than the mould cavities that free end edges of the sticks engage inner said foil defining spaces of the mould cavities when the mould cavities are distended by filling.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 33 words
A bag as claimed in claim 3, wherein the mould cavities have a narrowed area around the sticks between free ends of the sticks and ends of the sticks received in the channels.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 42 words
A bag as claimed in claim 3, wherein the food product is to be shaped as ice lollies having protruding holding sticks, and the channel formed by the foils has a length corresponding to a free holding part of the holding stick.
