MOLD COVER FOR FOOD PATTY MOLDING MACHINE A mold cover covering one side of a movable mold plate slidably mounted between the mold cover and a base and connecting the mold to a food pump, comprising a thick, rigid cover plate mounted on the pump, a thinner fill plate removably mounted on the cover plate in tight surface-mating engagement with the cover plate and in sliding surface-mating engagement with the mold plate, the fill plate and the cover plate having aligned apertures affording a continuous fill passage from the pump to the mold plate, and a relief channel in one of the mating surfaces of the cover plate and the fill plate, the relief channel encompassing the fill passage but not being connected thereto, for receiving excess food product forced between the cover plate and the fill plate to thereby prevent such excess food product from deflecting the fill plate to bind against the mold plate. |
