ABSTRACT:
BACK GROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a molding system for charging viscous fluids into a unit mold for use in producing a solidified article having a predetermined composite pattern, a method for producing a solidified article having a predetermined composite pattern, an apparatus for producing solidified articles having a predetermined composite pattern, and a method for producing solidified articles having a predetermined composite pattern.
PRIOR ART
Solidified articles formed by molding and solidifying viscous fluids, such as solidified chocolates, have hitherto been produced by a method wherein the liquid chocolate to be molded is measured by a depositor (a volume regulating filling machine), while the liquid chocolate is stirred in a storage tank thereof for maintaining the homogeneous state of the liquid chocolate, and charged into a desired mold. In this method, a molding system is adopted wherein a single kind of liquid chocolate is guided through a single discrete passage to a desired single unit mold for molding a single solidified chocolate (solidified article).
On the other hand, for forming a composite pattern on the solidified chocolate, two kinds of liquid chocolates are stored together in a single tank, measured in the mixed state, and charged into a desired unit mold, thereby forming a composite pattern. In this method, since the two kinds of liquid chocolates are previously mixed prior to the measurement, the ratio of the liquid chocolates in each solidified chocolate to be produced is different, so that solidified chocolates having the same (uniform) composite pattern (solidified articles having a predetermined composite pattern formed of at least two kinds of viscous fluids) cannot be produced.
Alternatively, there is proposed a method for producing a solidified article having a composite pattern, wherein a desired liquid chocolate is dotted onto the inner surface of the mold by a brush or the like, and another kind of liquid chocolate is charged by the depositor to form the composite pattern. However, this method requires a great amount of time and effort in the time-consuming dotting process. Further, each of the obtained solidified chocolates has a different composite pattern, as in the above case.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a molding system which can charge two or more kinds of viscous fluids distinct from each other in color into a desired unit mold in a predetermined state, and a method for producing a solidified article having a predetermined composite pattern easily with high accuracy using the above molding system.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a molding system which can charge at least two kinds of viscous fluids distinct from each other in color into a unit mold in a state wherein the streams of the viscous fluids are merged and collected, or wherein the streams of the viscous fluids are suitably mixed, and a method for producing a solidified article which can produce a solidified article having a predetermined composite pattern suitably mingled easily and accurately.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a molding system which can charge at least two kinds of viscous fluids distinct from each other in color in a predetermined state suitably mingled to a desired extent into a unit mold, and a method for producing a solidified article having a predetermined composite pattern suitably mingled to a desired extent easily and accurately.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a molding system which can charge at least one viscous fluid to be enclosed inside and at least two kinds of viscous fluids to surround the at least one viscous fluid in a predetermined state into a unit mold, and a method for producing a solidified article having at least one viscous fluid inside and at least two kinds of viscous fluids surrounding therearound covering the at least one viscous fluid easily and accurately.
