International Classification:

A23G 9/48

US Classification:

426306

Abstract:

A method for making a frozen confectionary product having a reduced-fat chocolate coating is disclosed. The method includes spraying a liquid chocolate composition into a target area, wherein the liquid chocolate composition includes less than 40% fat by weight; moving a frozen confectionery substrate having an outside surface into and out of the target area such that a portion of the outside surface becomes entirely coated with a continuous, uniform coating of the liquid chocolate composition; and allowing the liquid chocolate composition to cool to form the frozen confectionary product having the continuous, uniform coating of chocolate on the entire outer surface of the confectionery. The chocolate coating contains less than about 40% fat by weight of the coating, and has a thickness that is uniform and less than that formed by dipping. Also disclosed is spray coating device for use in the process for applying the coating.

US Classification:

426306

Abstract:

A product with a striped coating, method for making, and an apparatus for applying a coating to a confectionery to produce a confectionary with a striped appearing coating. The striped appearing coating preferably includes more than one type of chocolate, preferably two types of chocolate. Advantageously, the striped appearing coating is formed from two layers of chocolate, a foundation chocolate layer and a striped chocolate layer, thus giving the striped appearing chocolate coating a three dimensional texture.

International Classification:

B05D 306

US Classification:

427 541

Abstract:

An system for protectively coating longitudinally extending rod and bar-like objects, exemplified in application to cylindrical objects such as wooden handles for brooms, brushes and mops, which prescribes effecting a powered, contained movement of handles to be coated in an immediately following series relation; directing the handles to and through an enclosed bath of a selected coating material; in process of the entry of a handle to the bath subjecting it to a movement thereof through a short closely encompassing sleeve which wipes its exterior surface free of dust and dirt, facilitating adherence of coating material thereto and coextensively therewith in its passage through said bath; subjecting the so coated handle to a powered movement thereof through a further short circumferentially and closely encompassing sleeve as it exits from this bath to produce thereby a smooth distribution of adherent coating material over the length of its exterior to form thereon a substantially uniform thin layer thereof and strip excess therefrom to remain in the coating chamber and at the same time, as the leading end of the handle exits from the chamber, substantially immediately subjecting it to air jets to spread coating material over such end in a substantially uniform layer and strip therefrom excess coating material, subjecting the handle immediately thereof to a final stripping, reduction of the thickness and smoothing of the applied coating and immediately curing the same during a continued movement of the handle.

International Classification:

G07F 1152

US Classification:

221 2

Abstract:

A system for the controlled dispensing and storing of medication and more particularly, a programmable system with medication dispensing modules having a dedicated programmable processor to dispense medication, according to patient requirements that are programmed into the system. The modules incrementally dispense unit doses of medication in a highly controlled manner for a particular patient. The programmable processor of each module is independently capable of receiving and storing information about the respective type, quantity and medication information of each of the unit doses of medication loaded onto an assigned shelf of the module. The information in the programmable processor is automatically updated when a unit dose of medication is dispensed from the module so that the programmable processor contains information about the remaining inventory in the module at any given time.
