Abstract: The device for the production of candies, chewing gums and/or toffees, comprises a pivoting drum (2), which carries the raw materials strand (10) and cooperates at a point of contact with an eccentrically positioned round ring (12), which is shifted by the drum in motion. The outside surface of the drum has indentations (16), which serve together with another indentations at the internal surface of the round ring of the fragmentation of the strand. The drum carries embossing bars (18, 19), which are arranged in pairs and move back and forth between a work and resting position. The device for the production of candies, chewing gums and/or toffees, comprises a pivoting drum (2), which carries the raw materials strand (10) and cooperates at a point of contact with an eccentrically positioned round ring (12), which is shifted by the drum in motion. The outside surface of the drum has indentations (16), which serve together with another indentations at the internal surface of the round ring of the fragmentation of the strand. The drum carries embossing bars (18, 19), which are arranged in pairs and move back and forth between a work and resting position. The working position on height of contact point is taken, where the embossing bars meet on each other and form the candies or the chewing gums. The embossing bars find in the resting position in a retracted position and are located to each other on a distance. Spikes are included on the drum and reach into teething (26) of the round ring, so that the drum shifts also the round ring in motion. The spikes are arranged along a circulating line in relation to the embossing bars. The number of spikes corresponds to half of the number of embossing bars. The axle of each spike is contained in a radial surface, which runs by the axle of the drum and also the axle contains a pair of embossing bars. The diameter of the spikes is smaller than the diameter of a part of the holder of the embossing bars. At the drum a flange is attached with external corrugation, and the spikes connect with an outside ends of the flange and are let into the external corrugation. The embossing bars are provided with a part of the holder, which carries a drive rod over a fixed connection, which is connected again movably with a guidance, which carries the moving spring of the drive rod. Guidance on the drum is indicated inside in relation to the embossing bars. The axle of each guidance are contained in the radial surface, which runs by the axle of the drum, and the axle also contains a pair of embossing bars and the spikes. The drive rods are equipped with a roller bearing, which is connected with drive cams. A roller bearing is intended, which has a set role pivoting on a tap, which is mounted in the drive rod. The embossing bars have interconnected individual components. The embossing bars have an elongated part, at whose end a firmly connecting die is present. The elongated part at the end carries a tappet, which faces the end with the die. The die and the tappet are connected with the elongated part by soldering. The round ring consists of only one element.
