  • Patent number: 4913043
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming an egg roll. A sheet of dough is placed on a conveyor belt, with a corner of the dough pointed in the direction of movement of the belt. An egg roll filling is placed on the dough with the filling extending transversely to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt. The leading corner of the dough is reversely folded over and around the upper surface of the filling by a deflector. The dough is creased along its length of movement on both sides immediately outwardly of the ends of the egg roll by O-ring belts guided about pulleys. The opposite corners of the dough, which extend transversely to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt, are folded about the creases inwardly over the filling and the opposite corners of the dough are pressed downwardly toward each other by belts which gradually bend from a horizontal support surface to an inwardly inclined belt surface. The corners of the dough are pressed to their final positions by disks.
