ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a hand powered, crank operated structure whose principal moving component is a horizontal and generally cylindrical barrel having built thereon a pair of stub loading extending tubes from one side of the barrel. These stub tubes are disported in parallel and side-by-side fashion, and one of them, for instance the dough tube, lies to the left, closer to the discharge end of the barrel than the other, the meat or filler tube. The barrel is allowed to rest on the horizontal base of the machine's framework with its solid end, opposed to the discharge end, supported by and extending through an end wall of the framework and connected to a hand lever. The lever is used to rotate the barrel between two positions of the stub tubes, one at 45 degrees in which the tube ends are exposed for convenient loading, and a vertical position in which such ends are covered by a pair of overhanging fixed sleeves which serve as guides for a pair of vertically reciprocating rams which are lowered through a power stroke by the use of a hand crank. The right hand ram pushes down on the meat or other filler loaded into the right hand stub tube and pushes the meat through a centrally disposed longitudinal tube mounted on the axis of the barrel and extending to its discharge end. At the same time, the left hand ram contacts the dough or masa in the left hand stub tube and forces it into an interconnecting annulus of a second long tube also mounted on the longitudinal axis of the barrel, coaxially with the central tube and extending to the same discharge end.
At the end of the power stroke, nothing further can be extruded from the discharge orifice of the barrel, and the operator makes a clean cut of the extruded hot tamale, wraps it in a corn shuck preparatory to steaming (not involved here), and reverses the action of the hand crank to raise the rams and thus free the stub loading tubes for rotation to the 45 degree position to start a second cycle.
