  • Patent number: 5657869
    Abstract: In a self-contained information-bearing package for labels, a number of conventional self-adhesive labels are made on a backing sheet, which may have two labels on each segment, on opposite sides. The backing sheet is made either in a folded length with several segments, or a plurality of backing sheet segments in a V-fold, for example. If the backing sheet is a folded length with several segments, it may be accordion-folded. If the backing sheet is a plurality of segments in a V-fold, a number of these are assembled as leaves in an assembly resembling a "perfect bound" book. These are inserted and attached at the fold line of a cover, which is folded to a closed position for distribution. Other pages, carrying printed indicia, may be included within the cover. These other pages may be mounted at a different fold line from the label-carrier leaves. The top cover can fit into a flap at the bottom, or can have a tab that fits into a slot.

  • Patent number: 4746526
    Abstract: A method for manufacture of a pre-baked, chemically leavened frozen biscuit is disclosed. A conventional, chemically leavened biscuit dough is prepared, cut into biscuit pre-forms, and is fully baked. This baked intermediate product is then tempered or moisture-treated to raise the upper crust moisture content to above 16%, by weight, preferably above 20%. This can be done in any manner, such as for example, by contacting the crust with an atomized spray of water for the necessary period of time (e.g. for a few seconds), or by allowing the freshly baked biscuits to be maintained in a proofing cabinet for 15 to 20 minutes at temperatures of 140.degree.-150.degree. F. at 70% to 90% relative humidity. The thus tempered product is then frozen, and without an intervening defrost step, is then capable of being placed directly in an oven for "baking" to provide a biscuit similar to fresh baked biscuits when served hot.
