  • Feeding of a continuous rope of candy or like confectionery material
    Patent number: 4300329
    Abstract: In the manufacture of sweets from a continuous rope of toffee or like confectionery material and the wrapping thereof in suitable wrapping material, it is customary to ensure that the feed of the rope is interfered with in the event of any interference with the supply of wrapping material. The present invention provides such interference by substantially instantaneously removing driving contact between the rope and the rope-driving surface, thus substantially preventing unwrapped sweets from coming into contact with the wrapping elements.

  • Sweet forming and wrapping machine
    Patent number: 4294060
    Abstract: A sweet-forming and wrapping machine includes feed rollers for feeding a rope of candy to a cutting mechanism and mechanism for transferring sweets cut from the leading end of the rope to a wrapping wheel, a wrapper being fed into the path of transfer of each sweet to the wrapping wheel. A detector operates in response to failure of the wrapper feed to stop the machine and also to divert the rope instantaneously out of its normal path of travel towards the cutting mechanism.
