Motorized rolling pin

Abstract

A hand-held motorized rolling pin for sheeting dough and other similarly pliable materials. In one embodiment, the motor and the motor controls are situated inside of a handle which is detachable with respect to a cylindrical roller member. A second handle is permanently and rotatably connected to the opposite side of the cylindrical roller member. The motorized rolling pin of this embodiment receives its power through an a-c power cord or from a rechargeable battery also mounted inside of the detachable handle. In a second embodiment, the motor, the motor controls and a rechargeable battery are mounted inside of the cylindrical roller member. A socket for a detachable cord for charging the battery is provided on one of the non-operational flat sides of the cylindrical roller member. Switch means are mounted through the central axis of one of the two permanently fixed but rotatable handles. The motorized rolling pins of both embodiments are further provided with replaceable textured sleeves which are slidable over the cylindrical roller member. The sleeves provide means for texturing different consistency doughs or other pliable materials and facilitate cleaning of the device.
