RING FOR TOPPING PIZZA AND OTHER FOOD PRODUCTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023562 titled 'RING FOR TOPPING PIZZA AND OTHER FOOD PRODUCTS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus for topping food products that have a peripheral edge and an upper surface. The apparatus includes an annular guide with a non-parallel guide surface terminating at an inner edge defining a central opening. An annular skirt is mounted coaxially to the annular guide and is disposed adjacent to the peripheral edge of the pan. Toppings dropped onto the annular guide are guided radially inwardly of the inner edge.

  • The apparatus is designed to top food products that have a peripheral edge and an upper surface.
  • It includes an annular guide with a non-parallel guide surface that terminates at an inner edge defining a central opening.
  • An annular skirt is mounted coaxially to the annular guide and is placed adjacent to the peripheral edge of the pan.
  • The inner edge of the guide surface is positioned a predetermined distance from the food product's upper surface and radially inwardly of the food product's peripheral edge.
  • This design ensures that toppings dropped onto the annular guide are guided radially inwardly of the inner edge.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Topping food products such as cakes, pies, pizzas, etc.
  • Ensuring even distribution of toppings on food products.
  • Reducing waste and mess during the topping process.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Uneven distribution of toppings on food products.
  • Toppings falling off the food product's surface.
  • Difficulty in controlling the placement of toppings.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Consistent and even distribution of toppings.
  • Reduced waste and mess during the topping process.
  • Improved control over the placement of toppings.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus for topping food products that have a peripheral edge and an upper surface, wherein the food products rest upon a pan with a peripheral edge. the apparatus includes an annular guide with an axis and a guide surface terminating at an inner edge defining a central opening. the guide surface is substantially non-parallel to the axis, and may form an angle between about 20 and 60 degrees with the axis. an annular skirt is mounted coaxially to the annular guide and is disposed adjacent the peripheral edge of the pan. the inner edge of the guide surface is disposed a first predetermined distance from the food product's upper surface and a second predetermined distance radially inwardly of the food product's peripheral edge, thereby causing toppings dropped onto the annular guide to be guided radially inwardly of the inner edge.
