Machines for the manufacture of sweets, especially of lollipops.

摘要

Mechanism comprises a rotating drum carrying circumferentially spaced half-moulds pivoted about tangentially extending axes. Axially extending recesses in a drum and moulds between them define the cavities in which the lollipops are shaped by stampers axially movable from one end whilst sticks are inserted via passages at the other end. A rotatable wheel has circumferentially spaced recesses each capable of engaging and holding the stick of a formed lollipop to take it over from the drum. As this wheel rotates, it passes the sticks below tangentially extending fixed plates so that they are removed from the recesses and the lollipops are positioned in a wrapping station. Used for the mfr. of lollipops. The mechanism simplifies removal of the formed lollipops from the drum as it does not require mechanical fingers to remove them individually. It automatically removes the flash formed between adjacent cavities by sugar running out in the partings between the forms and the drum. FL.
