Abstract
A sandwiching machine for applying creme, for example, a chocolate or vanilla flavored filling, jelly, peanut butter or the like, to at least two laterally spaced rows of cookies traveling along said sandwiching machine. The sandwiching machine includes improved stencil means for applying creme to the cookies in a uniform manner comprising a stencil sleeve and a stencil rotatable thereon, the stencil having spaced apart discharge orifices and the stencil sleeve having inlets at each side of the discharge orifices, valve means within the stencil sleeve for controlling the flow of creme through the discharge orifices, and creme hopper means communicating with the stencil sleeve inlets. The creme hopper means in one embodiment includes a single hopper for supplying the same creme to each stencil sleeve inlet. Alternatively, the creme hopper means may comprise a compartmented hopper or separate hoppers for supplying either the same or different cremes to the stencil sleeve inlets for uniform discharge from the stencil orifices.
