    摘要: An apparatus for transporting a plurality of divided elements of a tacky dough substance to a predetermined location where the elements are shaped into toroids. An impelling mechanism consisting essentially of driven impeller wheels is associated with the apparatus. The wheels engage and impel the elements from their predetermined location of a conveying portion of the apparatus at a uniformly predetermined rate, to a toroid-forming machine. The use of the impelling mechanism avoids pileup of one element upon another in the toroid-forming machine by overcoming the normally adhering characteristics of the elements to the material of the conveying portion of the apparatus, brought about by the normally tacky nature of the elements. The impelling mechanism, therefore provides only one element at a time through a feeder to a toroid-forming portion of the toroid-forming machine, thereby resulting in a toroid of uniform size and shape. The use of the impelling mechanism further prevents clogging of the toroid-forming machine by enabling only a single element at a time to be fed to this machine, thereby improving product reliability and reducing the rejection rate of the manufactured toroids.
