Abstract
A manually operable device for making dough pockets can have a respective frame formed in shells hinged together so that the faces of the frame members can bond dough pockets together around their peripheries and cut off excess dough from the dough pockets. Ribs can be provided to subdivide the frames and the surfaces of the ribs and frames can be toothed where the frames squeeze the dough layers together.

A hand-operated device for making dough pockets, the device comprising:
- a first frame;
- a second frame;
- a hinge connecting said first frame to said second frame, said frames being swingable relative to one another between a closed position in which said frames are juxtaposed and an open position in which dough layers and a filler for a dough pocket can be inserted between said frames;
- detents on each of said frames;
- respective ribs releasably fittable with said detents and juxtaposed in the closed position and each being mirror symmetrical to opposite sides of a parting edge for cutting said layers;
- and
- a first squeezing frame profile section on said first frame at a face thereof along an edge of the pocket and a second squeezing frame profile section on said second frame at a face thereof juxtaposed with said first squeezing frame profile section in said closed position for squeezing edges of dough layers together along said pocket, said squeezing frame profile sections and said ribs defining opposing separating edges subdividing said pockets from said layers.
