  • Apparatus for folding a dough leaf about a filling
    Patent number: 5405256
    Abstract: Apparatus for folding a dough leaf 30 about a filling 32 comprises a series of folding pans 26.1 to 26.6. Each folding pan is foldable with respect to the next pan in the series about a folding axis 28.1 to 28.5, and is provided with a weighted plunger 34 which is connected to the folding pan by a lost motion connection. The weighted plunger serves to hold the dough leaf down while the pan is displaced from the folded position back towards the unfolded position, to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan.
