Apparatus for folding dough leaf about a filling.

摘要

Apparatus for folding a dough leaf (30) about a filling (32) comprises a series of folding pans (26.1 to 26.6). Each folding pan is foldable with respect to the next pan in the series about a folding axis (28.1 to 28.5), and is provided with a weighted plunger (34) which is connected to the folding pan by a lost motion connection. The weighted plunger serves to hold the dough loaf down while the pan is displaced from the folded position back towards the unfolded position, to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan. <IMAGE>
