Abstract

A method and apparatus for making filled products of various shapes and sizes and the products. The products can be toroidal, rings of interconnected knobs, crescent-shaped, spherical or other shapes, each having one or more discrete spots or globs of filling material within. The filling material can be injected in any direction without the product, for example, sidewise along the midline of a toroidal product, or radial in the toroidal product. The amount of filling material and its location within the product can be varied. The filling material flow is controlled by positive and negative pressure.
