ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a food material shaping cutter for cutting food material into a shaped body composed of an outer covering layer and an inner filling, and more particularly to such a food material shaping cutter which is practical for cutting food material of different elasticity into a spherical body as well as a cylindrical body.
Various apparatus have been disclosed for shaping a spherical body. Exemplars are seen in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,883,678; 4,767,304; 4,734,024. According to these disclosures, cutter members slide on each other to shape a spherical body consisting of dough crust and a filling from a continuously fed cylindrical body. Each of the cutter members has a tapered portion adjacent to an edge formed at the corner where two adjoining slide surfaces meet. Because the top and bottom side walls of the edge slope at a sloping angle, the sloping top and bottom side walls give little pressure to the fed cylindrical body when cutting, and the filling tends to be exposed to the outside.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a food material shaping cutter, which enables the filling to be squeezed upwards and downwards from the cutting edge in reversed directions, so that the filling is maintained on the inside when a spherical or cylindrical body is shaped.
