A Mould for the Production of Biscuit Sandwiches.
I, JOHN MAY, of 114, Church Street, Croydon, in the County of Surrey, Whole-
sale Grocer, lo hereby declare 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 relates to a mould for the production of ice wafer biscuit sand-
wiches; and is designed with the object of providing a simple, effective and in-
expensive mould for rapidly and neatly forming biscuit sandwiches of the kind
above referred to, such mould containing no springs in its construction liable to
get out of order, while, furthermore, the said mould can be readily and thoroughly
cleansed by simply rinsing it in water.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet
of illustrative drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the mould with the tray removed therefrom,
Fig. 2 being a similar view of the tray shewn independently, while
Fig. 3 is a like view of the complete mould.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts throughout the several figures, a represents the bed of the mould
formed of tin or zinc and of such a shape as to conform to the shape of the
biscuits within which the mould is to be used, such bed a having raised sides b,
the forward one of which is recessed at b. The bed a is also recessed or cut-
away at a¹.
A circular handle or ring c is fixed to, or formed integral with, the bottom a
of the mould, for convenience in holding same.
d represents a tray, having depending sides e, the forward one of which is

page_text: ..
recessed at e¹, a similar recess d' being stamped out of the tray a.
The recesses
or cut-away parts del coincide with the recesses a¹ 61 in the mould proper.
In use and where it is desired to mould a biscuit sandwich of ordinary thick-
ness the
ice wafer biscuit is placed in the mould upon the tray d (which is
inverted so that the sides e are downward) and the space above the surface of
such biscuit and the upper edges of the sides 6 of the mould then filled up with
ice cream, a second biscuit subsequently placed thereover. The biscuit sandwich
is then complete and can readily be delivered from the mould by pushing same
upward with the thumb of the operator, the recesses before mentioned in the sides
and bottoms of the mould and tray readily permitting this to be done.
In order to mould a biscuit sandwich of thicker proportions, the trav is removed,
which will allow of a greater depth of ice-cream being layed upon the lower
biscuit.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
1 claim is:-
(1) The mould for producing biscuit sandwiches, consisting in a bed having
a ring or circular handle on the under side, and raised sides, said bed and one
of the raised sides having co-inciding recesses or cut-away portions formed therein,
substantially as herein before described and as illustrated by the drawings.
(2) The mould for producing biscuit sandwiches, comprising a bed having a
downwardly depending circular handle and raised sides, one of said sides and
said bed having semi-circular co-inciding recesses formed therein; in combina-
tion with a removable tray having raised sides and recesses or cut-away parts
co-inciding with the recesses in the said mould proper, substantially as and for
the purpose described and as illustrated.
