Abstract: |
Devices are disclosed for forming egg-yolk disks by wire-cutting egg-yolk material extruded from a main cylinder. The main cylinder ends to an extrusion-head. The extrusion head may be threaded on a cylinder to a desired degree, so that during the disk-cutting process, the cutting wire slides on the front surface of the extrusion head. The Devices may also have a mechanism for locking the extrusion head in position. Miscellaneous mechanisms for wetting the cutting wire are also disclosed.

First Claim:
Show all 17 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. A cutting device for forming egg-yolk disks comprising in combination:
- an assembly of a cutting wire and a frame supporting the cutting wire, the cutting wire being adapted to follow a cutting path, the cutting path having a first direction; and
- an extrusion array comprising
- a main cylinder having a front end with a first set of threads;
- an extrusion head having a front surface and a second set of threads commensurate to the first set of threads of the main cylinder, in a manner that the extrusion head may be threaded on the main cylinder to a desired degree in order to attain a desired position, wherein the front surface substantially coincides with the cutting path of the cutting wire, so that when the cutting wire follows the cutting path, said cutting wire slides on the front surface of the extrusion head; and
- a mechanism for locking the extrusion head in position.
