Abstract
A filled pastry roll is made from a continuously supplied strip of pastry by apparatus in which a conveyor conveys the pastry through a sequence of treatment stations. A receiving station includes a cutter which cuts a square of pastry from the leading end of the strip. A feeding station includes means for feeding a filling onto the square. A first folding station includes a movable deflector which folds one corner of the square over the filling. A second folding station includes a pair of opposed deflectors which fold the two adjacent corners inwards in succession, so that they overlap. A rolling station includes two parallel platforms between which the folded pastry is rolled by relative reciprocation of the platforms.

- a receiving station including a cutter adapted to cut a square of pastry from the leading end of the strip;
- a feeding station including means for feeding a filling onto the square;
- a first folding station including a movable deflector adapted to fold one corner of the square over the filling;
- a second folding station including a pair of opposed deflectors which are movable in succession to fold the two corners adjacent said one corner inwards toward each other so that they overlap;
- a rolling station including two parallel horizontal platforms positioned one above the other and spaced apart in order to receive the folded pastry between them and means for reciprocating the platforms horizontally relative to one another, whereby the folded pastry is formed into a roll as if it were being rolled between the palms of a person's hands;
