  • Patent number: 5634396
    Abstract: An apparatus (20) for forming sushi rolls (14) comprising a housing (22). A drive roller (24) is rotatively carried within the housing (22). A driven roller (26) is rotatively carried within the housing (22) in a side by side relationship with the drive roller (24). An endless belt (28) is between the drive roller (22) and the driven roller (26). The endless belt (28) has an arcuate recess portion therebetween that will receive a food filler (16) deposited upon the arcuate recess portion. A facility (30) in the housing (22) is for positioning the driven roller (26) closer to the drive roller (24) after the food filler (16) is placed upon the arcuate recess portion of the endless belt (28). A component (32) is for rotating the drive roller (24) with the endless belt and the driver roller (26) together. When an edge of a seaweed sheet (18) is inserted into the arcuate recess portion of the endless belt (26), the seaweed sheet (18) will tightly wrap about the food filler (16) to form a sushi roll (14).
