DOSING APPARATUS FOR LIQUID OR PASTE-LIKE COMPONENTS FOR DECORATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A21C9/04 

FIELD: food engineering, in particular, dosing equipment for liquid and paste-like components for decoration of food products, preferably round food products, by providing helical distribution of decorating additional component or product on lower main product.

SUBSTANCE: dosing apparatus has mechanism designed for rotation and simultaneously progressive displacement of end of pipe for feeding of decorating component (additional product). Mechanism has bushing rotating around perpendicular axis centrally of stationary plate positioned above second parallel concentric plate equipped with opening through which two brackets are extending. Brackets are non-detachably secured with their upper ends to bushings lower surface, each of said brackets holding at its lower end carrier plate with rotating threaded shaft positioned in horizontal plane and intersecting perpendicular axis of bushing with its axis of rotation. Carriage mounted on threaded shaft has carrier members for end of flexible pipe freely extending through bushing. Threaded shaft rotates by means of friction disk mounted thereon and cooperating by its rim with friction ring arranged above or below and connected with stationary construction of dosing apparatus.

EFFECT: uniform distribution of decorating component or additional product on main product regardless of its homogeneity.
