Abstract
A mold for forming materials such that the formed materials include measurement markings is disclosed herein. The mold includes multiple cavities, each of which has indentations for forming measurement markings on a material that is formed in the respective cavity. Each of the cavities may be further supported by one or more cavity-to-cavity support structures. The mold may also include a detachable lid for covering the contents of the mold during and after solidification.
Claims20
A silicon mold for molding a sliceable food product comprising:
- a first cavity and a second cavity for receiving a moldable material, the first cavity and the second cavity each having a cavity surface with a bottom, two side walls, and two end walls, wherein each cavity surface defines multiple measurement marking indentations, wherein each measurement marking indentation extends linearly across the two side walls and the bottom of the respective cavity surface and each measurement marking indentation configured to cause a visible marking on the sliceable food product of the respective measurement marking indentation indicating a measurement delineation for the sliceable food product directly on the sliceable food product itself, wherein the outer surfaces of the first cavity and the second cavity are spaced apart from one another;
- an interior connection surface connecting an upper portion of the first cavity to an upper portion of the second cavity;
- an aggregate overflow wall attached to and surrounding an outer perimeter of the interior connection surface;
- an exterior lid-support surface attached to and surrounding an outer perimeter of the aggregate overflow wall;
- a plurality of lid-support indentations incorporated into an underside of the exterior lid-support surface;
- a first cavity-to-cavity support structure attached to an exterior surface of a side wall of the first cavity and an exterior surface of a side wall of the second cavity and extending between the exterior of the first cavity and the exterior of the second cavity;
- a second cavity-to-cavity support structure attached to the exterior surface of the side wall of the first cavity and the exterior surface of the side wall of the second cavity and extending between the exterior of the first cavity and the exterior of the second cavity;
- and
- a third cavity-to-cavity support structure attached to the exterior surface of the side wall of the first cavity and the exterior surface of the side wall of the second cavity and extending between the exterior of the first cavity and the exterior of the second cavity.
6 more elements
A mold for forming a material into a shape having one or more measurement markings thereon, the mold comprising:
- four cavities each having side walls and a bottom, each cavity having multiple measurement marking indentations wherein each measurement marking indentation extends linearly across the two side walls and the bottom of the respective cavity surface and each measurement marking indentation configured to cause a visible marking on the material of the respective measurement marking indentation indicating a measurement delineation for the material directly on the material itself, wherein an exterior surface of each cavity is separated from an exterior surface of each other cavity, wherein each cavity is capable of receiving liquids having a temperature of up to five-hundred degrees Fahrenheit;
- an interior connection surface, wherein the interior connection surface connects each of the cavities to one another;
- at least six cavity-to-cavity support structures, wherein each cavity-to-cavity support structure is connected to the underside of the interior connection surface and is connected on one end to an exterior of one of the four cavities and connected on another end to another one of the four cavities.
A mold having a plurality of cavities for receiving a liquefied material to be hardened in the mold, the mold comprising:
- a first cavity having a first cavity surface having two side walls and a bottom, wherein the first cavity defines a first measurement marking indentation and a second measurement marking indentation, wherein the first measurement marking indentation:
- extends linearly across the two side walls and the bottom of the first cavity surface;
- includes a first text stamp indicating the measurement delineation of the first measurement marking indentation;
- and
- causes a first visible marking on the material in the first cavity, when the material has hardened, of the first measurement marking indentation, including the first text stamp, indicating a first measurement delineation for the first cavity material directly on the material itself;
- and
- wherein the second measurement marking indentation:
- extends linearly across the two side walls and the bottom of the first cavity surface;
- and
- causes a second visible marking on the material in the first cavity, when the material has hardened, of the second measurement marking indentation indicating a second measurement delineation for the first cavity material directly on the material itself;
- and
- a second cavity connected to the first cavity by an interior connection surface, wherein the second cavity has a second cavity surface having two side walls and a bottom, wherein the second cavity defines a third measurement marking indentation and a fourth measurement marking indentation, wherein the fourth measurement marking indentation:
- extends linearly across the two side walls and the bottom of the second cavity surface;
- includes a second text stamp indicating the measurement delineation of the third measurement marking indentation;
- and
- causes a first visible marking on the material in the second cavity, when the material has hardened, of the third measurement marking indentation, including the second text stamp, indicating a first measurement delineation for the second cavity material directly on the material itself;
- and
- wherein the fourth measurement marking indentation:
- extends linearly across the two side walls and the bottom of the second cavity surface;
- and
- causes a second visible marking on the material in the second cavity, when the material has hardened, of the fourth measurement marking indentation indicating a second measurement delineation for the second cavity material directly on the material itself.
