Abstract

The invention pertains to a device used for baking hollow pastry goods, where one or more strips of dough are wound on a hollow body prior to baking. The hollow body consists of elastic wire coils that form a spiral structure.

Claims

1. Device for baking hollow pastry goods, in the case of which one or more strips of dough are wound onto a hollow body prior to baking, characterized in that the hollow body (10, 22) comprises helically arranged, elastic wire coils (2, 21).

2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire coils (2, 21) have an air gap between them.

3. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire coils (2) follow the surface of a truncated cone (10).

4. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire coils (21) follow the surface of a cylinder (22).

5. Device according to claim 4, characterized in that, towards one end, the cylinder (22) is designed to taper slightly.

6. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the last wire coil (4, 25) at the end of the largest diameter of the hollow body (10, 22) terminates in a handle (5).

7. Device according to claim 6, characterized in that the handle (5) comprises an extension of the wire of the last coil (4, 25).

8. Device according to claim 7, characterized in that the wire piece designed as the handle (5) is arranged approximately along the diameter of the last wire coil (4, 25).

9. Device according to claim 7, characterized in that the wire piece designed as the handle (5) is bent out of the plane of the last wire coil (4, 25).

10. Device according to claim 9, characterized in that the wire piece designed as a handle (5) runs approximately in the form of a semicircle or half-ellipse with respect to the plane of the last wire coil (4, 25).

11. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire coils (2, 21) run helically to the last, narrowest wire coil (3, 26).

12. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire diameter is from 1.5 to 4 mm.

13. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire coils (2, 21) are spaced apart from one another at least by the thickness of the wire (1) used.

14. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire (1) consists of a stainless steel.

15. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire (1) consists of a heat-resistant plastic material.

16. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire (1) is flexurally elastic.

17. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire coils (2, 21) have a non-stick coating.

18. Device according to claim 17, characterized in that the wire coils (2, 21) have a coating of Teflon (tradename).
