Granted: 1914-07-20
Abstract: 16,504. Boyd, W. July 18. Coating confectioners' goods.-Chocolate confectionery having centres of fruit products &c. is formed from chilled chocolate shells in which the centres are placed, a covering of chocolate afterwards being given to complete the sweetmeats. Moulds 1 pass from the end Z of the machine under a chocolate-depositing device 2, and thence over a vibrating table 3, where the chocolate settles and any air is expelled. The moulds next pass through a refrigerating- chamber 4, the chocolate next the inner surface of the moulds solidifying forming shells. The moulds are then inverted to pour off any liquid chocolate and scraped. Each mould now contains chocolate shells. ' The next step consists in passing the moulds through a cold chamber 6 and thence under a hot centre-depositor 7. The moulds and centres pass onward through a cold chamber 8 and again under a hot-plate 9, which causes the edges of the shell and the top of the centre to soften sufficiently to combine with liquid chocolate which is deposited on them immediately afterwards at 11. They then pass to a cooling-chamber 12, surplus chocolate being scraped off in transit. The finished goods are rapped out of the moulds at 13, the empty moulds passing up the gangway 14 to a reheating-chamber 15, and thence onward to the starting point.

Abstract: 29,023. Rosengren, A. A. Dec. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Capsules, applying.-In a machine for punching capsules from a strip and applying them to bottles, a plunger operating through the tubular punching-tool serves as a male die in forming the capsule blanks and co-operates successively with a series of female dies, the arrangement being such that, as a capsule is formed in one female die, a finished capsule is simultaneously expelled from another and fixed to the bottle. In one form, Fig. 3, the female dies are formed in a rotary cylinder 23, through which works a plunger 27, which, when driven down by the male die 20, allows a capsule to be formed in the die 24 and expels a capsule from the bottom die to the capsuling-head 32, in which it is applied by a rubber ring 29 adapted to be compressed by projections on the die-cylinder. The capsule strip is fed by rollers placed outside the punching-device looking in the direction in which the strip is travelling. The dies may be adapted to imprint information on the capsules while forming them. In a modification, the female dies are arranged in a disk 23, Fig. 4, the axis of which is parallel to the punching-device, the punch 11 and male die 20 in this case being situated below the disk, and the dies being connected by rods 50, 51 and a lever 52, so that, as a capsule is formed in one die, a finished capsule is expelled from the opposite die and affixed by a compressible ring 29 as before.
