Bun press and sloppiless bun

Abstract

A bun press is disclosed. The invention relates generally to a device for shaping the interior of an already baked, sliced bun and thereby creating a sloppiless bun. The device comprises a die or set of dies that is pressed into the top and bottom halves of a single or a plurality of baked, sliced bun(s) to provide an interior cavity that can contain messy, liquid-like or liquid fillings, e.g. sloppy joe fillings, melted cheese, meatballs and tomato sauce and the like.

Claims

1. A bun press comprising: a handle portion being a rounded dome; a indentation portion connected to the handle portion, the indentation portion being cylindrical in shape and smaller in diameter than the largest diameter of the handle portion; and wherein the indentation portion is connected to the handle portion are connected in such a way as to form a lip.

2. A press platelet for pressing buns comprising: a die block; a first forming tool located on the die block being a curved semicircle attached to a first cylinder, having at its end a curved semicircle forming surface; a second forming tool located on the die block being a second cylinder, having a flat forming surface.

3. The bun press of claim 1 wherein: the maximum diameter of the handle portion is 3 inches; the diameter of the indentation portion is 2 inches; the handle has a height of 2 inches; and the indentation portion has a height of inches.

4. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein: the maximum diameter of the first forming tool is 3 inches; the height of the first forming tool's cylinder is inches and the total height of the first forming tool is inches; the diameter of the second forming tool is 2 inches; and the second forming tool has a height of inches.

5. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein: the diameter of the first forming tool's cylinder is identical to the diameter of the second forming tool's diameter.

6. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein: the first forming tool and the second forming tool located on the die block are oriented in the same direction.

7. The press platelet of claim 6 wherein: the first forming tool and the second forming tool located on the die block are spaced apart.

8. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein: the press platelet when viewed from a topside view has a stadium shape.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) In the detailed description that follows, reference will be made to the following figures:

(2) FIG. 1a is a top view perspective of the bottom side of the embodiment of the hand press, shown in FIG. 1

(3) FIG. 1b is a side view perspective of the hand press embodiment shown in FIG. 1

(4) FIG. 2a is a top view perspective of the bottom side of the dual bun press platelet embodiment, shown in FIG. 2

(5) FIG. 2b is the side view perspective of the dual bun press platelet

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) Two bun press embodiments are described hereafter in FIGS. 1 and 2. In a preferred embodiment, the bun press comprises a die or set of dies that are pressed into the sliced faces of a sliced sandwich bun interior to provide the interior of the bun with a one half inch interior cavity on each side of the bun and comprising a total bun shaped cavity of one inch when put together that can contain messy, liquid or liquid-like sandwich fillings that creates a sloppiless bun.

(7) FIG. 1 Shows a side perspective view and a top view of the bottom side of a first embodiment of a hand held bun press to create a cavity on one side of the bun at a time. FIG. 2 Shows a side perspective view and a top view of the bottom side of the first embodiment of a dual press platelet to create a cavity in both the bottom half and top half of a bun at the same time. The press platelet when viewed from a topside view has a stadium shape.

(8) The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive, and the scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. Those of skill in the art will recognize changes, substitutions and other modification that will nonetheless come within the scope of the inventions and range of the claims.
