Method and Apparatus for Manufacturing the Same.
We, OSWALD DUNKEL and MORITZ FRANZ trading as the German Confectionary
Company of Chapel Gardens, Liverpool in the County of Lancaster, Confectionary
Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
EL
This invention has for its object the making of ornamental rough surface, hollow
confectionary ware. We form on a plate the half cores and over each core we place
copper or other perforated mould, so as to enclose a narrow space between. The
perforations in the mould are preferably formed as stars, and the points of these stars
are pressed down into the space forming the mould. A cup is placed at the back of
the mould, the back of the mould forming its bottom and the prepared sugar or
chocolate is filled into this cup and pressed through the perforations till the mould is
filled. The mould is then taken off, leaving on the core a delicately formed series
of pinacles where each hole was, and deep hollows where each piece of each star
originally stood. Two of these stuck together form an article of confectionary of
egg, heart, or other desired shape.
Other forms of holes than star shaped ones can be used, and almost any other form
of simple hollow ware made in this way besides egg and heart shaped above mentioned.

cturers, do hereby dechire the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention has for its object the making of ornamental rough surface hollow
confectionery ware.
Referring to the drawings
:-
Figure 1 is a plan of the plate and mould.
Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same.
We form on the plate A the half cores a and over each core we place a copper or
other perforated mould B, so as to enclose a narrow space between, as shown at C
Figure 2.
The perforations in the mould are preferably constructed to project downward, and
may either be plain as shown in the drawings, or burred, or formed as stars. The
projection from the lower side of the perforations of the mould occupies part of the
space between the half core a and the mould B.
The mould is formed with a cup D at its back, the perforated plate B forming its
bottom. The prepared sugar or cholocate is contained in a reservoir or receptacle E
of flexible or elastic material, which is attached by elastic band e or otherwise to
the cup D. By compressing this, the prepared sugar or chocolate is filled into
this cup and pressed through the perforation till the mould or space is filled. The
mould B is then taken off, leaving on the core a delicately formed series of pinnacles
where each hole was, and deep hollows where each piece of each star or other shape pro-
jected, form the perforated plate. Two of these stuck together form an article of
confectionery, of egg, heart, or other desired shape.
Other forms of holes than star shaped ones can be used, and almost any other form
of simple hollow ware made in this way, besides egg and heart shaped above
inentioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
1. The method of manufacturing hollow sugar or chocolate ware, consisting of
pressing the prepared material through perforations in a plate or mould into a narrow

page_text: space of any required shape between a core, and said perforated plate to form one side
of a hollow figure, substantially as described.
2. The use in manufacture of hollow sugar or similar ware of a mould with
perforated plate, through which the prepared material is passed, formed with
projecting pieces plain, or of star, or other shape on the under surface, to form
ornamentations on the surface of the article, substantially as described.
3. The apparatus for moulding hollow sugar or similar ware, consisting of a mould
with perforated plate, through which the material passes and a raised core or cores
substantially as described and shown.
