Abstract

A nozzle holder (14) with at least one nozzle (34′; 34″), which ends at a mouth (38′; 38″), is used for manufacturing baking articles (54) from an extruded strand (56). In order to manufacture baking articles (54) which extend in a plane, the nozzle (34′; 34″) is pivotably mounted by means of a joint with a ball (32) and its mouth (38′; 38″) is displaceable by a pivoting device (45) in two axes (X; Y) extending at right angles to one another. Furthermore, constructed in the ball (32) is at least one connecting duct (48′; 48″), of which one end is connected to a stationary feed duct (50′; 50″) and the other end to the pivotable nozzle (34′; 34″).
