APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A MULTICOLOURED DESIGN

摘要

The invention describes an apparatus for producing a multicoloured design on a surface of a beverage or a food item. The apparatus comprises a stencil mount (110) comprising a first locating member (118), and a stencil (120) defining a horizontal plane and comprising a second locating member (118). The stencil is adapted to rest upon the stencil mount in such a way that the first locating member engages with the second locating member, thereby inhibiting or preventing rotation of the stencil within the horizontal plane and relative to the stencil mount. It is further described a method of producing a design on a surface of a beverage or a food item. The method comprises the steps of: positioning said stencil mount in relation to the surface of the beverage or food item, resting said first stencil upon the stencil mount, wherein the first stencil defines a horizontal plane and comprises one or more apertures formed therein, and dispersing a first granulated substance through one or more apertures of the first stencil and through the at least one aperture of the stencil mount, so as to produce an arrangement of the granulated substance on the surface of the beverage or food item.

主权项

1. An apparatus for producing a multicoloured design on a surface of a beverage or a food item, the apparatus comprising:
a stencil mount comprising at least one first locating member; and at least two stencils; each stencil defining a horizontal plane and comprising at least one second locating member, wherein each stencil is adapted to rest upon the stencil mount in such a way that the at least one first locating member engages with the at least one second locating member, thereby inhibiting or preventing rotation of the stencil within the horizontal plane and inhibiting or preventing lateral movement of the stencil relative to the stencil mount; and wherein the stencils have complementary apertures of different shapes and dimensions which, due to the predetermined positional relationship of the stencils to the stencil mount, combine and complement one another to produce multicoloured patterns, designs or images on the beverage or food item when each stencil has a granulated substance of a different colour dispersed through its apertures.
