Abstract From the Canadian patent

This invention provides an apparatus for shaping a spherical body consisting of dough crust and a filling from a continuously fed cylindrical body, consisting of dough crust and a filling, and comprising at least three slidable members which form an opening or closes it. The members slide on each other so as to constrict the cylindrical body. Each of the members has a tapered portion adjacent to an edge formed at the corner where two adjoining side surfaces meet. The edge has a preselected length so that the spherical body with a highly elastic dough crust is shaped without exposing the filling.
