z/It .-is an obj ect of f-the present-inventionwto providea-a squeezerollenapparatusr'wherein theaminimum-tand rmaximum :1 clearances between the squeeze rollers are readily adjustable and wherein zthersqueeze.="rollers :rnay be ":locked.--.-at;ia minimum clearance.
According tothe present invention in a squeeze roller-apparatus, one of- 'a pair of cooperating.
squeeze rollers is carriedby blocks mountedin slideblo ckswwhichslideblocks are displaceableitowards and -away from-the otherot said-"pair of squeeze rollers whereby to vary the minimum clearance between said rollers, said blocks being slidably mounted in said slideblocks and resiliently urged towards the said other of said pair of squeeze rollers, and adjustable stop devices being provided intermediate the slideblocks and the blocks whereby to vary the maximum clearance between said squeeze rollers.
The slideblocks are suitably displaceable by means of a manually rotatable wheel carried on the frame of the apparatus.
The adjustable stop devices suitably include threaded stop members carried by the slideblocks and displaceable relative to the slideblocks and relative to the blocks by means of a manually rotatable wheel carried on the slideblocks.
A locking pin carried by a slideblock is preferably displaceable from an inoperative position to an operative position to lock the block associated therewith.
The invention is further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of an apparatus according to the present invention, and
Fig. 2 is a corresponding end view.
In the drawing an upper squeeze roller II is mounted above a lower squeeze roller [2. The rollers are operatively connected by known means (not shown) to rotate the same. The upper squeeze roller is carried at one end by a block 13 slidably mounted in vertical guides in an upper roller slideblock 14. The upper roller slideblock I4 is itself slidably mounted in vertical guides in the frame 15 of the squeeze roller apparatus.
The vertical position of the upper roller slideblock [4 is adjustable by means of handwheel (not shown) on shaft I6. A bevel pinion H on shaft I6 is in engagement with a bevel wheel [8 carried at one end of a threaded member I9 ro- ,tatably. oonnectedltoitherfi'ame ;-l 5.

will be seen that the tension of the spring 20 may be adjusted by means of the collar 24a.
A lever 25 is pivotably connected at its upper end to the slideblock. A locking pin 26 (shown in the locked position) is pivotably connected to the lever 25 and passes through projections from the slideblock l4 and a downwardly extending part l3a of the block [3. The lever 25 is pivotable by a foot-pedal (not shown) to displace the pin 26 into and out of the locked position.
It will be seen that the handwheel on shaft 16 controls the minimum clearance between the squeeze rollers ll, I2, and that the handwheel 23 controls the maximum clearance between the squeeze rollers ll, l2.
Both handwheels may be readily operated during operation of the apparatus.
It will be appreciated that whereas only a single lever 25, locking pin 26 and associated parts are shown, the block 13, slideblock l4 and parts associated therewith will be duplicated at the other side of this apparatus.
An apparatus according to the present invention may suitably comprise a dough break.
In order to reduce in thickness a slab of material (e. g. a slab of dough), the minimum and maximum clearances between the squeeze rollers are set by means of hand wheels I6 and 23 and the locking pin 26 is displaced out of the locked position. The slab of material is passed one or more times between the squeeze rollers, the weight of the upper squeeze roller H and the force of the springs 20 causing a reduction in thickness of the slab. As soon as the slab has been reduced to approximately the thickness of said minimum clearance, the pin 26 is displaced into the locked position to lock the squeeze rollers at said minimum clearance. A subsequent final passage of the slab between the squeeze rollers accordingly ensures uniform reduction in the thickness of the slab.
I claim:
