Abstract
Abstract The invention provides pastry machinery for forming a multi-layered pastry comprising a dough extruder which forms dough into sheet form, a pre-cooking station for the sheet of dough, a moisturizing station, a cutting station and means for transporting a cut leaf of dough onto a folding device. The folding device folds the pastry through a series of folds once a charge of filling has been deposited on the leaf of dough.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
Pastry machinery suitable for producing a folded pastry comprising a means for forming dough into thin sheets, a means for cutting dough into leaves of a required size, and a folding means wherein a leaf of dough is folded through a sequence of folds to provide a multi-layered pastry; the folding means comprising at least 3 plate elements disposed adjacent one another to define a dough receiving platform, each plate element being hingeable mounted for angular movement substantially about the line of junction with an adjacent element, and means for angularly moving each plate element so as to fold dough resting thereon onto an adjacent element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
Pastry machinery suitable for producing a folded pastry comprising a means for forming dough into thin sheets, a means for cutting dough into leaves of a required size, and a folding means wherein a leaf of dough is folded through a sequence of folds to provide a multi-layered pastry; the folding means comprising at least 3 plate elements disposed adjacent one another to define a dough receiving platform, each plate element being hingeable mounted for angular movement substantially about the line of junction with an adjacent element, and means for angularly moving each plate element so as to fold dough resting thereon onto an adjacent element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
Pastry machinery according to claim 1 wherein the elements are of equilateral triangular configuration with the apexes of adjacent plates facing in opposite transverse directions to form a substantially continuous dough receiving surface in the shape of a parallelagram, with a hinge axes of triangles alternating between 60° and 120° angles relative to the longitudinal direction of the dough receiving surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
Pastry machinery suitable for producing a folded pastry comprising a means for forming dough into thin sheets a means for cutting dough into leaves of a required size, and a folding means comprising at least 3 elements for leaves of dough wherein a leaf of dough is folded through a sequence of folds to provide a multi-layered pastry; further comprising a pre-cooking device for a sheet of dough comprising a heated plate which is angled to permit the sheet of dough to move over the plate under the influence of gravity.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
91 words
Pastry machinery suitable for producing a folded pastry comprising a means for forming dough into thin sheets a means for cutting dough into leaves of a required size, and a folding means comprising at least 3 elements for leaves of dough wherein a leaf of dough is folded through a sequence of folds to provide a multi-layered pastry; further comprising a pre-cooking device for a sheet of dough comprising a heated plate which is angled to permit the sheet of dough to move over the plate under the influence of gravity.
