Abstract
A suspended receptacle for at least one piece of dough has a base comprising two lateral retaining pins with which the base can be connected, so as to pivot about a pivot axis, to a conveyor element conveying a plurality of suspended receptacles of this type. A dough support element of the suspended receptacle has a support for the piece of dough. The dough support element is configured as an exchangeable insert which is detachably connected to the base.
Claims16
Suspended receptacle (4;
- 28) for at least one piece of dough (2), comprising a base (13) having two lateral retaining pins (5) with which the base (13) can be connected, so as to pivot about a pivot axis (14), to a conveyor element (6) conveying a plurality of suspended receptacles (4;
- 28) of this type, comprising a dough support element (17;
- 29) having a support (25;
- 37) comprising an inner surface for the piece of dough (2) to be placed thereon and said support (25;
- 37) further comprising an outer surface opposite to the inner surface,
- wherein the dough support element (17;
- 29) is configured as an exchangeable insert which is detachably connected to the base (13),
- wherein said suspended receptacle (4;
- 28) further comprises at least one locking means (26;
- 24) by which the dough support element (17;
- 29) is locked to the base (13),
- wherein the locking means (26:
- 24) has at least one undercut element (26) which is connected to the support (25;
- 37) and reaches behind at least one base locking strip (24), and
- wherein the undercut element (26) is configured as a rib extending in the shape of an arc, thereby defining an extension plane, the extension plane being perpendicular to the pivot axis (14), wherein the rib extends from an area adjacent a first longitudinal side of the outer surface to an area adjacent a second longitudinal side of the outer surface of the support (25;
- 37) of the dough support element (17;
- 29) reaching behind two base locking strips (24), such that locking and unlocking of said locking means (26;
- 24) is enabled in the plane perpendicular to the pivot axis (14), said two base locking strips (24) extending at a distance from each other and parallel to the pivot axis (14).
