La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement pour appareil de fabrication de crêpes. Elle est plus particulièrement relative à un dispositif de distribution de pâte à crêpe.The present invention relates to an improvement for pancake making apparatus. It relates more particularly to a device for distributing pancake batter.
La fabrication de crêpes est bien connue de tous et consiste à verser de la pâte liquide sur une plaque chaude, huilée avant l'opération ; la pâte par action de la chaleur prenant alors consistance pour former le produit fini. La plaque chaude étant constituée soit par une poêle soit par une plaque de cuisson. Dans la fabrication commerciale, c'est toujours une plaque qui est utilisée et tout un chacun a déjà pu acheter des crêpes réalisées comme telles, les vendeurs réalisant à la commande et devant le client. Ce type de fabrication est tout à fait artisanal, le vendeur utilisant un simple réchaud posé sur un plateau, tandis que la pâte à crêpe est stockée dans un saladier, duquel la pâte est retirée petit à petit grâce à une simple louche contenant la dose de pâte pour réaliser une crêpe. L'installation ainsi utilisée n'est ni pratique, ni esthétique, ni hygiénique.The manufacture of pancakes is well known to all and consists in pouring liquid dough onto a hot plate, oiled before the operation; the dough by the action of heat then taking consistency to form the finished product. The hot plate being constituted either by a frying pan or by a cooking plate. In commercial manufacturing, a plate is always used and everyone has already been able to buy pancakes made as such, the sellers carrying out the order and in front of the customer. This type of manufacturing is entirely artisanal, the seller using a simple stove placed on a tray, while the pancake batter is stored in a bowl, from which the batter is gradually removed using a simple ladle containing the dose of dough to make a pancake. The installation thus used is neither practical, aesthetic, nor hygienic.
La présente invention veut donc résoudre les inconvénients des installations traditionnelles et propose un distributeur de pâte particulièrement simple, pratique, fiable et hygiénique, ainsi qu'une installation équipée d'un tel distributeur.The present invention therefore seeks to overcome the drawbacks of traditional installations and proposes a particularly simple, practical, reliable and hygienic dough distributor, as well as an installation equipped with such a distributor.
Ainsi, le dispositif de distribution de pâte à crêpe pour installation destinée à la fabrication de crêpes selon l'invention, comprend une plaque de cuisson, et est caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par un réservoir contenant la pâte et comprend un orifice d'écoulement qui comprend des moyens de fermeture et d'ouverture, et des moyens de contrôle de l'écoulement permettant, entre autre, de contrôler la quantité de pâte.Thus, the device for distributing pancake batter for installation intended for the manufacture of pancakes according to the invention, comprises a cooking plate, and is characterized in that it is constituted by a reservoir containing the batter and comprises an orifice d flow which comprises closing and opening means, and flow control means making it possible, among other things, to control the quantity of dough.
Selon l'une des caractéristiques complémentaires, le dispositif de distribution de pâte à crêpe est mobile par rapport à la plaque de cuisson, entre une position escamotée de repos dans laquelle le réservoir est hors de la zone occupée par la plaque de cuisson et une position de distribution dans laquelle l'orifice d'écoulement se trouve au-dessus et au centre de la plaque de cuisson, et selon une disposition préférée, il est monté pivotant autour d'un axe vertical., sur lequel il est retenu par un bras de retenue.According to one of the additional characteristics, the pancake batter distribution device is movable relative to the baking sheet. cooking, between a retracted rest position in which the reservoir is outside the area occupied by the hob and a dispensing position in which the flow orifice is above and in the center of the hob, and according to a preferred arrangement, it is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis., on which it is retained by a retaining arm.
Selon une autre caractéristique complémentaire, l'orifice d'écoulement comprend un bouchon d'obturation sollicité dans une position de fermeture dans laquelle l'écoulement de la pâte contenue dans le réservoir est empêché et qui est mobile vers une position d'ouverture qui permet l'écoulement de ladite pâte, le mouvement dudit bouchon étant commandé dans sa position d'ouverture par des moyens de commande comprenant une manette d'ouverture reliée au bouchon par un dispositif de transmission, qui comprend par exemple un axe transversal solidaire de la manette d'ouverture et qui est relié à une tige verticale solidaire du bouchon.According to another additional characteristic, the flow orifice comprises a closure plug urged in a closed position in which the flow of the dough contained in the reservoir is prevented and which is movable towards an open position which allows the flow of said dough, the movement of said plug being controlled in its open position by control means comprising an opening handle connected to the plug by a transmission device, which comprises for example a transverse axis integral with the handle opening and which is connected to a vertical rod secured to the plug.
Par ailleurs, l'invention concerne aussi une installation de fabrication de crêpes comprenant le dispositif de distribution et qui comprend un bloc de travail constitué par un plateau comprenant au moins un trou d'encastrement dans lequel est encastré au moins un appareil de chauffage., ladite installation comprenant un boîtier inférieur portant l'appareil de chauffe qui comprend un tiroir coulissant pour récupérer la pâte éventuellement en excès et les salissures dues à la cuisson et qui sont grattées après la fabrication de la crêpe. Selon une variante préférée de l'invention, l'installation comprend des moyens de réfrigération du réservoir contenant la pâte, ce qui présente, bien entendu, un perfectionnement important supplémentaire en matière d'hygiène, car cela permet une meilleure conservation de la pâte et freine le développement éventuel des bactéries. A cet effet, et à titre d'exemple, le réservoir est entouré d'un serpentin de circulation d'un fluide réfrigéré par tout moyen, comme, par exemple, un groupe de réfrigération.Furthermore, the invention also relates to a pancake manufacturing installation comprising the dispensing device and which comprises a working block constituted by a tray comprising at least one mounting hole in which is embedded at least one heating appliance., said installation comprising a lower housing carrying the heating device which comprises a sliding drawer for recovering the dough which may be in excess and the soiling due to cooking and which is scraped off after the pancake is made. According to a preferred variant of the invention, the installation comprises means for refrigerating the reservoir containing the dough, which, of course, presents an additional significant improvement in terms of hygiene, since this allows better preservation of the dough and slows down the possible development of bacteria. For this purpose, and by way of example, the reservoir is surrounded by a coil for the circulation of a refrigerated fluid by any means, such as, for example, a refrigeration unit.

En référence aux figures annexées, l'installation destinée à la fabrication de crêpes porte la référence générale (1) et comprend un bloc de travail (2) destiné à la fabrication proprement dite de crêpes au- dessus duquel est disposé, de façon mobile, le distributeur de pâte (3) selon l'invention.With reference to the appended figures, the installation intended for the manufacture of pancakes bears the general reference (1) and comprises a working block (2) intended for the actual manufacture of pancakes above which is disposed, in a movable manner, the dough distributor (3) according to the invention.
Le bloc de travail (2) encastré dans le plan de travail (400) comprend principalement un plateau (4) dans lequel est encastré l'appareil de chauffe (5) de façon à ce que la surface supérieure (6) de la plaque de cuisson (7) soit sensiblement au niveau ou légèrement au- dessus de la surface supérieure (8) dudit plateau (4).The work block (2) embedded in the worktop (400) mainly comprises a tray (4) in which is embedded the heater (5) so that the upper surface (6) of the plate cooking (7) either substantially at or slightly above the upper surface (8) of said tray (4).
Le distributeur (3) de pâte à crêpe est, comme nous l'avons dit précédemment, disposé mobile au-dessus du plateau et est constitué par un réservoir à pâte (9) ouvert à sa partie supérieure pour en permettre le remplissage. Par ailleurs, ledit réservoir comprend un couvercle de fermeture (10) tandis qu'il est constitué par une paroi périphérique (11) et une paroi inférieure transversale (12) ayant un orifice d'écoulement (13) qui comprend des moyens de fermeture et d'ouverture (MFO) constitués principalement par un bouchon d'obturation (14) mobile entre une position de fermeture dans laquelle l'écoulement de la pâte (90) contenue dans le réservoir est empêché et une position d'ouverture qui permet l'écoulement de la pâte par ledit orifice d'écoulement. De façon avantageuse, l'orifice d'écoulement est circulaire et prolongé vers le bas par une paroi périphérique inférieure (15) ayant une hauteur "h" comprise par exemple entre 5 et 15 millimètres, ladite paroi (15) formant un rebord empêchant la formation de gouttes après fermeture. Le bouchon d'obturation (14) a la forme générale d'un tronc de cône et est sollicité dans sa position de fermeture par un système élastique tel qu'un ressort (16). Par ailleurs, le mouvement d'ouverture le faisant passer de sa position de fermeture vers sa position d'ouverture est commandé par des moyens de commande (MC) comprenant une manette d'ouverture (17) reliée audit bouchon par un dispositif de transmission (DT) comprenant d'une part un axe transversal (18) lié cinématiquement à une tige verticale (19) solidaire du bouchon. Ladite tige étant constituée par un profil cylindrique en acier inoxydable comprenant à son extrémité inférieure un écrou de retenue (20) tandis que son extrémité supérieure est repliée pour former un crochet de liaison (21) destiné à coopérer avec un étrier d'accrochage (22) solidaire de la partie centrale de l'axe transversal (18). Ce dernier étant aussi réalisé par un profil cylindrique en acier inoxydable dont l'une des extrémités comprend la manette d'ouverture (17) et qu'avantageusement son autre extrémité comprend un doigt d'actionnement (23) pour un compteur (24). Notons par ailleurs que l'axe transversal (18) constitue l'axe de pivotement de la manette d'ouverture (17) et qu'à cet effet, elle est engagée d'un côté dans un trou de pivotement (25) réalisé dans la paroi périphérique du réservoir et de l'autre côté disposée en appui dans le fond d'une lumière verticale (26) réalisée aussi dans la paroi périphérique (11) et débouchant vers le haut jusqu'au rebord dudit réservoir. La manette d'ouverture a la forme générale d'un levier comprenant une poignée (27) et une saillie (28) destinée à limiter la rotation de la manette par coopération avec une butée (29) solidaire du réservoir (9). Par ailleurs, la position angulaire initiale de la manette est réglable, afin de pouvoir modifier sa course angulaire et régler ainsi la quantité de l'écoulement par une ouverture plus ou moins prolongée et importante du bouchon (14). La tige verticale (19) est guidée à sa partie inférieure par un trou de guidage (30) réalisé dans une barre transversale (31) qui est retenue dans le réservoir par deux supports d'extrémité (34a, 34b) ayant chacun la forme d'un U ouvert vers le bas et solidaire de la surface intérieure (32) de la paroi périphérique (11) du réservoir. Ladite barre (31) étant sollicitée dans lesdits supports (34a, 34b) par action du ressort de compression (16). Le réservoir (9) est monté pivotant par rapport au bloc de travail (2) entre une position escamotée de repos dans laquelle le réservoir est hors de la zone occupée par la plaque de cuisson et une position de distribution dans laquelle l'orifice d'écoulement, et en particulier son centre (Cr), se trouve au-dessus du centre (Cp) de la plaque de cuisson (7). La trajectoire (T) du centre (Cr) de l'orifice d'écoulement (13) étant un arc de cercle de rayon (RI). Le rayon (RI) étant supérieur au rayon (R2) de la plaque de cuisson. Le réservoir pouvant être ainsi encastré hors de la zone occupée par ladite plaque, comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement à la figure 1. A cet effet, le réservoir est relié à un axe vertical (35) par l'intermédiaire d'un bras horizontal (36). L'ensemble constitué par le réservoir (9) et le bras horizontal (36) étant réglable en hauteur grâce à un dispositif de réglage en hauteur (37).The pancake dough dispenser (3) is, as we said previously, movable above the tray and is constituted by a dough tank (9) open at its upper part to allow filling. Furthermore, said tank comprises a closing cover (10) while it is constituted by a peripheral wall (11) and a transverse bottom wall (12) having a flow orifice (13) which comprises closing means and opening (MFO) mainly consisting of a closure plug (14) movable between a closed position in which the flow of the dough (90) contained in the reservoir is prevented and an open position which allows the flow of the dough through said flow orifice. Advantageously, the flow orifice is circular and extended towards the bottom by a lower peripheral wall (15) having a height "h" of for example between 5 and 15 millimeters, said wall (15) forming a rim preventing the formation of drops after closure. The closure plug (14) has the general shape of a truncated cone and is biased in its closed position by an elastic system such as a spring (16). Furthermore, the opening movement passing it from its closed position to its open position is controlled by control means (MC) comprising an opening handle (17) connected to said plug by a transmission device ( DT) comprising on the one hand a transverse axis (18) kinematically linked to a vertical rod (19) integral with the plug. Said rod being constituted by a cylindrical stainless steel profile comprising at its lower end a retaining nut (20) while its upper end is folded back to form a connecting hook (21) intended to cooperate with a hooking bracket (22 ) integral with the central part of the transverse axis (18). The latter also being produced by a cylindrical profile in stainless steel, one of the ends of which comprises the opening lever (17) and which advantageously its other end comprises an actuating finger (23) for a counter (24). Note also that the transverse axis (18) constitutes the pivot axis of the opening handle (17) and that for this purpose, it is engaged on one side in a pivot hole (25) produced in the peripheral wall of the tank and on the other side disposed in abutment in the bottom of a vertical lumen (26) also produced in the peripheral wall (11) and opening up to the edge of said tank. The opening handle has the general shape of a lever comprising a handle (27) and a projection (28) intended to limit the rotation of the handle by cooperation with a stop (29) integral with the reservoir (9). Furthermore, the initial angular position of the lever is adjustable, in order to be able to modify its angular travel and thus adjust the quantity of the flow by a more or less prolonged and significant opening of the plug (14). The vertical rod (19) is guided at its lower part by a guide hole (30) made in a transverse bar (31) which is retained in the tank by two end supports (34a, 34b) each having the form d 'A U open at the bottom and integral with the inner surface (32) of the peripheral wall (11) of the tank. Said bar (31) being stressed in said supports (34a, 34b) by action of the compression spring (16). The reservoir (9) is pivotally mounted relative to the working block (2) between a retracted rest position in which the reservoir is outside the area occupied by the hob and a dispensing position in which the orifice flow, and in particular its center (Cr), is located above the center (Cp) of the hob (7). The trajectory (T) of the center (Cr) of the flow orifice (13) being an arc of radius (RI). The radius (RI) being greater than the radius (R2) of the hob. The tank can thus be embedded outside the area occupied by said plate, as can be seen more particularly in Figure 1. For this purpose, the tank is connected to a vertical axis (35) by means of an arm horizontal (36). The assembly constituted by the reservoir (9) and the horizontal arm (36) being adjustable in height by means of a height adjustment device (37).
Le bloc de travail et de cuisson (2) comprend, comme nous l'avons déjà dit, un appareil de cuisson (5) comprenant de façon connue en soit une plaque de cuisson (7), ledit appareil étant au moins partiellement encastré, dans le bloc de travail de façon à ce que le trou d'encastrement (38) ait un diamètre (Dl) légèrement supérieur au diamètre (D2) de la plaque de cuisson de façon à ce que la pâte à crêpe en excédent (91) qui pourrait couler à la périphérie de la plaque puisse passer dans l'espace périphérique "e" et tomber sur un tiroir de réception (39) qu'il suffit de faire coulisser selon FI pour être nettoyé (voir figure 4). Cet espace permet aussi de récupérer les salissures qui sont dues à la cuisson et qui sont grattées de la plaque après cuisson. Ce dernier étant disposé coulissant à la partie inférieure du boîtier inférieur (40) du bloc de travail (2) ledit boîtier (40) portant par ailleurs le réchaud (5). Notons aussi qu'il est prévu des moyens de réglage en hauteur (41) permettant de placer à une hauteur plus ou moins importante la plaque de cuisson (7) par rapport au plateau (4).The working and cooking block (2) comprises, as we have already said, a cooking appliance (5) comprising in a known manner either a cooking plate (7), said appliance being at least partially embedded, in the working block so that the embedding hole (38) has a diameter (Dl) slightly greater than the diameter (D2) of the hob so that the excess pancake batter (91) which could flow at the periphery of the plate could pass into the peripheral space "e" and fall on a receiving drawer (39) which suffices to slide according to FI to be cleaned (see FIG. 4). This space also makes it possible to recover the dirt which is due to cooking and which is scraped from the plate after cooking. The latter being slidably disposed at the lower part of the lower housing (40) of the working block (2) said housing (40) also carrying the stove (5). It should also be noted that height adjustment means (41) are provided, making it possible to place the hob (7) at a greater or lesser height relative to the plate (4).
L'installation comprend par ailleurs deux bacs encastrés amovibles (42, 44), un premier bac (42) de forme allongée comprenant de l'eau et destiné à recevoir le racloir à pâte (45), et un deuxième bacThe installation also comprises two removable built-in trays (42, 44), a first elongated tray (42) comprising water and intended to receive the dough scraper (45), and a second tray
(44) de section cylindrique destiné à recevoir un huileur (47). Ledit deuxième bac comprenant une éponge (48) imbibée d'huile tandis que le huileur (47) comprend un corps en bois (49) comprenant une bague périphérique amovible (50) en acier inoxydable destinée à retenir un morceau de tissu ou de cellulose (51). Le corps (49) du huileur (47) comprend une saillie de préhension (490) prolongée par un profil cylindrique (49), la bague amovible (50) ayant un diamètre intérieur (D3) supérieur au diamètre (D4) du profil cylindrique, tandis que sa longueur (L3) est inférieure à la largeur (L4) dudit profil. Comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement à la figure 4, dans sa position d'imprégnation, le tissu (51) en contact avec l'éponge (48) imbibée d'huile s'imprègne d'huile et pour huiler la plaque avant cuisson l'utilisateur n'a qu'à sortir le huileur du bac (44) et le passer sur la plaque avant de le remettre en place. Par ailleurs, l'installation comprend une fenêtre (43) pour recevoir une spatule (46).(44) of cylindrical section intended to receive an oiler (47). Said second tank comprising a sponge (48) soaked in oil while the oiler (47) comprises a wooden body (49) comprising a removable peripheral ring (50) made of stainless steel intended to retain a piece of fabric or cellulose (51). The body (49) of the oiler (47) comprises a gripping projection (490) extended by a cylindrical profile (49), the removable ring (50) having an internal diameter (D3) greater than the diameter (D4) of the cylindrical profile, while its length (L3) is less than the width (L4) of said profile. As can be seen more particularly in FIG. 4, in its impregnation position, the fabric (51) in contact with the oil-soaked sponge (48) is impregnated with oil and for oiling the plate before cooking the user only has to remove the oiler from the tank (44) and pass it over the plate before replacing it. Furthermore, the installation comprises a window (43) for receiving a spatula (46).
Pour la fabrication de crêpes, il est donc nécessaire de remplir préalablement le réservoir (9) de pâte à crêpe liquide (90), la plaque étant chaude, l'utilisateur peut ensuite à l'aide du huileur (47) enduire la plaque de cuisson. Puis, il doit, par pivotement, placer le réservoir de façon à ce que le centre de son orifice d'écoulement (Cr) soit au centre de la plaque (Cp). Une fois le réservoir dans sa position de distribution, l'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à pivoter la manette (17) pour l'amener en butée et ainsi provoquer le déplacement vers le haut du bouchon (14) et permettre l'écoulement de la pâte (90) sur la plaque (7). Il replace ensuite le réservoir dans sa position escamotée de repos, étale la pâte grâce au racloir (45) et termine sa crêpe de façon connue en soit en la retournant avec la spatule (46).For the manufacture of pancakes, it is therefore necessary to fill the reservoir (9) with liquid pancake batter (90) beforehand, the plate being hot, the user can then using the oiler (47) coat the plate with cooking. Then, it must, by pivoting, place the tank so that the center of its flow orifice (Cr) is in the center of the plate (Cp). Once the reservoir in its dispensing position, the user only has to pivot the lever (17) to bring it into abutment and thus cause the displacement of the cap (14) upwards and allow the flow dough (90) on the plate (7). He then returns the reservoir to its retracted rest position, spreads the dough with the scraper (45) and ends his pancake in a known manner by turning it over with the spatula (46).
Il va de soit que l'installation selon l'invention peut être modifiée sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi et, par exemple, la figure 9 montre une première variante selon laquelle le plateau supérieur (4) comprend un troisième bac (52) de forme allongée pour recevoir plusieurs flacons doseurs (53, 54, 55), l'un de ces flacons comprenant, par exemple du sucre, l'autre du chocolat, et le suivant par exemple de la confiture etc..It goes without saying that the installation according to the invention can be modified without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, for example, FIG. 9 shows a first variant according to which the upper plate (4) comprises a third container (52) of elongated shape to receive several dosing bottles (53, 54, 55), one of these bottles including, for example sugar, the other chocolate, and the next for example jam etc.
La figure 10 est l'illustration d'une autre variante selon laquelle le bloc comprend deux plaques de cuisson (7a, 7b), le dispositif de distribution pouvant se déplacer alternativement et à volonté d'une plaque à l'autre.FIG. 10 is the illustration of another variant according to which the block comprises two cooking plates (7a, 7b), the device for distribution can move alternately and at will from one plate to another.
Notons par ailleurs que le plateau (4) est avantageusement réalisé dans une plaque de matériau synthétique mais il pourrait en être autrement.Note also that the plate (4) is advantageously made of a plate of synthetic material but it could be otherwise.
Les figures 13 à 16 illustrent une variante d'exécution selon laquelle l'installation comprend des moyens permettant de maintenir la pâte à la température désirée, comme par exemple, comprise entre 10 et 15 degrés. Dans cette réalisation, et pour en permettre une meilleure compréhension, les éléments similaires à ceux des modes de réalisation précédent porteront les mêmes références et le lecteur pourra se reporter à la description précédente pour tout ce qui ne sera pas décrit pour cette variante.Figures 13 to 16 illustrate an alternative embodiment according to which the installation comprises means making it possible to maintain the dough at the desired temperature, for example, between 10 and 15 degrees. In this embodiment, and to allow a better understanding, elements similar to those of the previous embodiments will bear the same references and the reader may refer to the preceding description for all that will not be described for this variant.
Ainsi, selon un perfectionnement, l'installation comprend un groupe de réfrigération (60), comprend, de façon connue en soi, un compresseur (61), un évaporateur (62), un agitateur (63), ainsi qu'un circula teur (64) et un thermostat (65), ledit groupe de réfrigération (60) étant disposé sous le plan de travail. Il comprend, par ailleurs, deux conduites de circulation de fluide réfrigérant (65a, 65b), un premier conduit (65a) de distribution de fluide réfrigéré et un deuxième conduit (65b) de retour de fluide de réfrigération. Le distributeur de pâte (3) est tel que son réservoir de pâte (9) est logé à l'intérieur d'un support cylindrique (66) porté par le bras (36) de pivotement qui est relié à l'axe vertical de pivotement (35). Le maintien à température de la pâte (90) se fait grâce à la circulation du fluide réfrigérant dans un serpentin (67) disposé autour du réservoir de pâte (3) dans l'espace annulaire (69), c'est- à-dire entre la paroi périphérique (11) du réservoir de pâte (9) et la paroi périphérique (68) du support cylindrique (.66 . Notons que le serpentin (67) comprend un conduit d'arrivée du fluide réfrigéré (70a) et un conduit de retour du fluide de réfrigération (70b), qui sont connectés respectivement au conduit correspondant (65a, 65b) du groupe réfrigérant par l'intermédiaire de tuyaux souples (71a, 71b) permettant le pivotement du bras (36) avec son support (66) et son réservoir de pâte (9) car, bien entendu, dans cette variante, le distributeur de pâte est disposé pivotant au-dessus du plan de travail qui comprend un logement oblong permettant le passage des tuyaux souples. Il va de soi que tout autre moyen de réfrigération pourrait être adapté.Thus, according to an improvement, the installation comprises a refrigeration unit (60), comprises, in a manner known per se, a compressor (61), an evaporator (62), an agitator (63), as well as a circulator (64) and a thermostat (65), said refrigeration unit (60) being arranged under the worktop. It further comprises two pipes for circulating refrigerant fluid (65a, 65b), a first pipe (65a) for distributing refrigerated fluid and a second pipe (65b) for returning refrigerant fluid. The dough distributor (3) is such that its dough reservoir (9) is housed inside a cylindrical support (66) carried by the pivot arm (36) which is connected to the vertical pivot axis (35). The dough (90) is kept at temperature by circulating the coolant in a coil (67) disposed around the dough reservoir (3) in the annular space (69), that is to say between the peripheral wall (11) of the dough reservoir (9) and the peripheral wall (68) of the cylindrical support ( . 66. Note that the coil (67) comprises an inlet pipe for the refrigerated fluid (70a) and a pipe return of the refrigeration fluid (70b), which are respectively connected to the corresponding duct (65a, 65b) of the refrigerating unit by means of flexible pipes (71a, 71b) allowing the pivoting of the arm (36) with its support (66 ) and its dough reservoir (9) because, of course, in this variant, the dough distributor is pivotally arranged above the work surface which includes an oblong housing allowing the passage of flexible pipes. It goes without saying that any other means of refrigeration could be adapted.
Il va de soi que le déplacement du distributeur de pâte pourrait être autre qu'un pivotement, comme par exemple une translation. La figure 17 illustre de façon schématique une telle réalisation selon laquelle le réservoir se déplace en translation par rapport au plan de travail, grâce par exemple à un rail longitudinal (360).It goes without saying that the movement of the dough distributor could be other than a pivoting, such as for example a translation. FIG. 17 schematically illustrates such an embodiment according to which the tank moves in translation relative to the work surface, thanks for example to a longitudinal rail (360).
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents and their combinations.
