Apparatus for the preparation of meat products displaying a pattern when cut

Abstract

For the filler mass and each pattern die part required, a container (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D) each is provided with a filler device (4, 5) arranged in each of them, and a common force-meat filler fitting (11) and at least one pattern die (12) opening centrally into said fitting (11), laid out so that the overall outlet area corresponds to the cross section of a diagonally divided flask mold (15, 15') applicable to said filler fitting (11). The filler device consists preferably of a pressure generating elevating spindle gear (5) with a pressure piston (4) mounted thereon. The two parts of the flask mold (15, 15') comprise beads (17, 17') on their longitudinal edges, so that both halves may be secured by means of clamps engaging said beads and that a flask mold (15, 15') locked in this manner may be used as a cooking mold.
