Patent ID: 7980847

Claim:
A device for manufacturing a shell-shaped consumable from a fatty substance comprising an alveolus whose inner surface determines the outer surface of the shell-shaped consumable to be manufactured; a metering means to fill said alveolus with the fatty substance in a free-flowing, temperature-controlled state; a stamp of heat conducting material which can be lowered into the alveolus and whose outer surface determines the inner surface of the shell-shaped consumable to be manufactured, said stamp having channels fluidically connected with a cooling fluid source; an immersion means for lowering said stamp into said alveolus; wherein a stamp edge area of said stamp and an alveolus edge area of said alveolus abut each other in such a way with said stamp lowered into said alveolus that said stamp and said alveolus define a shell-shaped mold cavity bordered by said outer stamp surface and said Inner alveolus surface; and a deformable sealing means in at least one of said alveolus edge area and said stamp edge area which seals said mold cavity to the outside when pressed against the other of said at least one of said stamp edge area and said alveolus edge area with said stamp lowered into said alveolus, said sealing means being deformable by the substance bleeding out into the open from said mold cavity while retaining its sealing function.
