Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an artificial tail or any similar gripping element for pitted fruit or other edible piece and to the commercial product thus obtained.
  • the tails are a very useful technical element for gripping cherries during the soaking-coating operations taking place during the preparation of chocolate sour cherries.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing an artificial tail providing sufficient support for the fruit in order to guarantee its good performance until the direct consumption of the fruit or any edible part thus maintained.
  • an artificial tail for fruit or other edible piece characterized in that it consists of a rod having one end shaped as a projection-stop with stop face and, at a determined interval, another projection-stop with a flat front with a conical extension continuing with the stem proper, the fruit being traversed by the stem and immobilized between the two faces opposite the abutment projection and the flat front.
  • the invention has many additional advantages, the main of which will be mentioned below: - possibility of reliable automation of sour cherry dipping and coating operations, - perfect calibration because it is carried out on fruit without a tail, - easy pitting due to the expulsion of the nucleus through the tail hole, - general shape of the fruit preserved, - ease of fitting artificial tails, - low cost price, - solidity of the connection to the fruit, - minimal losses during confection handling, - the fruit, even round, can stand still in a stable position, tail in the air.
  • An artificial tail will be described below in the context of an application to a morello cherry. It is understood, however, that it can maintain many other categories of fruit or pieces of fruit or edible pieces such as, for example, grapes, olives, cheese cubes, sausages- cocktail. And others.
  • the artificial tail according to the invention consists of a rod 1 terminated at one of its ends by a stop projection 2.
  • This projection has a general shape in abutment with a bearing face 3.
  • the rod has a tapered shape 4, for example conical, in excess thickness, blistering or other, with back plane front 5 delimiting with the protruding end-stop 2 an interval 6 depending on the size of the fruit 7 or the edible part 8 to be maintained.
  • This tapered shape is made from the material of the stem and directed towards the free end of the tail.
  • the conical shape 4 constitutes a point 9 extended by the tail proper 10. Its rear foreground 5 acts as a stop to ensure maintenance by a slight pinching with the bearing face 3 opposite.
  • the stop projection 2 constitutes a stop intended to maintain one of the ends of the fruit or of the edible piece, the other end being in contact with support against the foreground foreground 5 of the conical thickening 9 playing the role of forehead stop.
  • the interval 6 is adapted to the nature and the consistency of the part to be maintained. In order to improve the retention, the latter will be slightly compressed so as to develop an elastic reaction force against the bearing faces 3 and 5 facing each other.
  • the stop-projection 2 will take the form of a transverse disc-stop 11 or of a so-called "button" projection constituting a satisfactory support which is suitable for all the shapes of parts to be held, but particularly well suitable for morello cherries and cherries in which the nucleus was ejected through hole 12 of the tail.
  • the stop projection 2 affects the shape of the disc-stop 11 as shown in the figures.
  • This technical form provides effective support and allows the fruit with its artificial tail to stand upright, tail up, in a stable position when placed on a support surface.
  • the artificial tail according to the invention is preferably made of food-grade plastic, for example by extrusion in a wire of indefinite length, thus forming a linear series of juxtaposed artificial tails.
  • This manufacturing process makes it possible to obtain linear successions with pinching 13 at the end of the stop projection constituting a breaking zone 14 to allow individualization.
  • each artificial tail can be obtained by other manufacturing processes relating to techniques for shaping plastics, for example the injection molding technique.
  • the free end of the rod may be shaped or treated by various means to have a slight curvature.
  • the introduction of the stem into the fruit or the edible piece and the crossing of its conical tip is carried out by pushing up to about mid-length then push-pull until contact, complete crossing of the conical tip and contact of the sail-stop 2 against the adjacent wall of the fruit or edible piece.
  • this progression takes place in the firm flesh until contact with the disc-stop 13 against the body of the morello cherry.
  • the individualization of the tails is carried out by an appropriate pinching-sectioning operation at the level of the abutment disc 13 in the breaking zone 14.
