DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns an apparatus for the preparation of meat products displaying a pattern when cut.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The preparation of meat and sausage products with variously colored inserts is highly labor intensive. Thus, the force-meats consisting of different meat grades and colors must be cooked in separate flask molds, cooled, and cut on trays into small elementary parts, preferably strips that may be square or rhomboidal in cross section. The force-meat may also be cooked in special insert molds, cooled and the finished insert taken from them. The meat or sausage portions prepared by the individual cooking processes are then placed into a common mold, the mold cast with force-meat and again exposed to a cooking process. In addition to the extensive labor required, the process steps involve a time delay that is detrimental to quality.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to simplify the known processes by providing an appropriate apparatus, to improve the quality of meat products displaying a pattern when cut and to eliminate the working steps required heretofore.
The object is attained according to the invention by the characteristic elements of claim 1. Further embodiments are set forth in the dependent claims.
The advantage of the apparatus according to the invention is to be found in that by the simple changing of pattern dies in the force-meat filler fitting in combination with the force-meat surrounding the center pattern insert by the mass and pressure control of the pistons alone in the containers a volume filling a flask mold may be obtained in a single working step.
A further advantage consists of that by the diagonal division of the mold receiving the entire filling volume, the desired length may be predetermined and that furthermore by the simple placing of the second half of the flask mold with the second end surface onto the fill volume rising in the first half of the mold to the first end surface, a closed box-like block may be obtained. By applying clamps to the longitudinal beads of the two mold halves, the closed flask mold may simultaneously also be used as a cooking mold.
The single cooking process required results in a better coherence and also in a significant improvement in the quality of the meat products.
The fill mass and the pattern inserts for the appropriate dies may be introduced both under overpressure or reduced pressure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a holding frame 2 is placed on a work table 1, with the holding frame comprising on the one hand several, for example three containers 3B, 3C, 3D for different grades and/or color tones of insertion force-meats and on the other, a container 3A for the force-meat surrounding the inserts. An outlet fitting 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D equipped with a flange 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D is set into the bottom of each of the containers. Each container 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D is provided with a motor-driven elevating spindle gear 5 acting on a displaceable pressure piston 4. A folding bellow 7 is provided between each pressure piston 4 and spindle gear 5 to prevent the penetration of contaminations into the containers 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D. Connecting lines b', c', d' are flanged onto the flanges 9B, 9C, 9D of the outlet fittings 8B, 8C, 8D of the containers 3B, 3C, 3D, and further lines b, c, d are connected by means of the flange connections 10b', 10b, 10c', 10d', 10d, with the corresponding
