Abstract
A sandwiching device for creating pocket sandwich-type food, the sandwiching device having a punch, a die to work with the punch to cut foodstuff, and a sealer seated within the die to seal the foodstuff while being cut with the punch and die. The punch can be lowered to press against the die and the sealer. When the foodstuff is placed on the die, pressing the punch against the die and the sealer simultaneously cuts the crust off the foodstuff while sealing the edges to create a pocket sandwich. To facilitate the sealing, the perimeter edge of the sealer may have a scalloped edge.
Claims20
A sandwiching device;
- comprising:
- a) a stand;
- b) a drive mechanism operatively connected to the stand;
- c) a punch operatively connected to the drive mechanism, wherein the drive mechanism is configured to move the punch from a raised configuration to a lowered configuration;
- d) a die supported by the stand, the die having a cutting perimeter edge, wherein the cutting perimeter edge abuts against the punch when the punch is in the lowered configuration;
- and
- e) a sealer having a sealing perimeter edge, the sealer configured to be movably seated within the die wherein the sealing perimeter edge is above the cutting perimeter edge when the punch is in the raised configuration, and the sealer is configured to descend into and be surrounded by the die when the punch is in the lowered configuration.
A sandwiching device, comprising
- a) a punch;
- b) a die defining a die interior, the die having a cutting perimeter edge surrounding the die interior, wherein the cutting perimeter edge is configured to abut against the punch;
- and
- c) a sealer having a sealing perimeter edge, the sealer movably mounted within the die for upward and downward movement within the die interior.
A sandwiching device, comprising:
- a) a punch movable between a raised configuration and a lowered configuration;
- b) a die having a cutting perimeter edge abuttable against the punch;
- C) a sealer having a sealing perimeter edge abuttable against the punch when the die is in the lowered configuration and abuts against the punch, wherein the sealer is circular, wherein when the die abuts against the punch, the cutting perimeter edge abuts against an outer circular rim portion of the punch;
- and the sealing perimeter edge abuts against an inner circular rim portion of the punch;
- and
- d) a resilient device in between the die and the sealer, the resilient device configured to raise the sealing perimeter edge of the sealer above the cutting perimeter edge of the die when the punch is in the raised configuration.
