International ClassA23P 001/10AbstractA cup-shaped mold for the shaping and baking of bread or cookie dough comprises an upper cupped molding member and a lower, slightly larger, cupped molding member. Each molding member has a flange horizontally extending from its edge. When the molding members are placed together with the dough between them, thereby forming the dough into cup-shaped, the flanges are in continuous contact along their length. During heating of the mold for baking, a plurality of clamps press the flanges together at between 0.5 and 1 p.s.i. to prevent escape of the dough from the mold while allowing partial escape of moisture from the mold.Field of SearchWith material pressing means (e.g., ham boilers)Shaping core mold Mold for forming sheet material, e.g., pie crust Including pie rim clamp or guard Press-couple mold For ring shaped or hollow article With retainer for vacuum-type receptacle With specified means to carry or support With recess or groove for article COOKWARE (I.E., POTS AND PANS) Having inner and outer shells forming conduit-type product, receptacle-type product, or module Having plural mold sections Removable means to maintain assembled, i.e., knockdown Means include permanently associated movable element, e.g., clamp PREFORM RESHAPING OR RESIZING MEANS: OR VULCANIZING MEANS INCLUDING A CONFORMING PREFORM SUPPORT Including shaping means comprising fluid pressure contacting work directly Vacuum or suction means Coacting shaping surfaces (e.g., pressure surfaces, etc.) Relatively reciprocating plunger and female mold Stationary plunger and reciprocating female mold Shaping surfaces per se (e.g., mandrel, etc.) | |
