Abstract: A kneader which comprises a main body, which forms a support structure, part of the main body constituting a support for a bowl or receptacle; a rotatable helix mounted on the main body so as to extend into the bowl or receptacle, the helix being connected to appropriate drive means which effect rotation of the helix about its axis in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, the arrangement being such that when the helix is rotated in one direction material within the bowl is kneaded and when rotated in the opposite direction of rotation the kneaded material is lifted upwardly out of the bowl by the helix; the kneader being further provided with means for guiding the kneaded material over the edge of the bowl or receptacle so as to effect removal of the kneaded material from the kneader.

Abstract: A bread dough dispensing machine consisting of a drum (2) with a cylindrical hole (3) which runs from end to end and in which a piston (4) moves, both the drum (2) and the piston (4) having alternating movement which is transmitted to the drum (2) through a disk (9) and a rod (10) and to the piston (4) through a rotating arm (7) and a cam surface (8) which act on the end of the stem (5), the machine being equipped with a hopper (1) on the upper part of the drum (2) and an endless belt conveyor (11) on one side to which the dough is expelled.
