Patent Abstract:

The invention is a wheel that embosses images and/or letters into foods. It is primarily intended for use in commercial restaurants and catering locations. However, it is not limited to these locations. It can also be used in home locations or any that would be applicable.

The embossing wheel consists of two main assemblies. The first assembly is the cover/handle fender, which has universal hand placement locations, attachment for the embossing wheel and an attachment for a coloring device. The universal hand placement location follows the outer surface of the fender cover/handle and provides an easy transition from one hand to another i.e. following the circumference of a pizza. Fig. 00 The wheel is a cylinder turned sideways, so that it could roll, and a center-rotating axis is established. The fender cover/handle drapes over the embossing wheel attaching at the center-rotating axis of the wheel Fig.00. The coloring device attaches to the fender on either edge that is parallel to the rotating axis of the embossing wheel. The device comes into contact with embossing wheel transferring a coloring substance, which the wheel in turn transfers it to the material being embossed. An alternative location for the coloring device is trailing behind the embossing wheel transferring coloring substance directly onto the embossed material. The attachment of this alternative coloring device is on the fender at the attachment location for the embossing wheel. The fender also has, at the edge parallel to the rotational axis, a wide foot for allowing the whole embossing wheel to be set down in the vertical position when not being used Fig. 00. The vertical position allows the user to easily pick up the embossing wheel and resume use.

The second assembly is the embossing wheel, which has the embossing pattern oriented on the rolling surface of the wheel. The embossing pattern is applied to the wheel by three methods; molded, rolling a linear pattern strip around the rolling surface, or snap-in modules Fig.00. The first of two attachments for the embossing wheel is a cutting wheel that allows the material to be cut straight or with a pattern while also being embossed. The second attachment is a depth / guide wheel, which helps the user gauge how deep the embossing will be and where it will go Fig.00. On the outer surface of the wheel, perpendicular to the embossing patterns, an orienting mark is placed where the starting point of the embossing pattern is located Fig.00.
