Abstract
A plurality of compressible chambers dispense measured amounts of dough through one or more nozzles suspended universally from the bottom of each chamber for swivel movement relative thereto. The nozzles are interconnected by a plate movable in a plane to jointly rotate the nozzles simultaneously in a circuitous manner as the dough is dispensed to provide a predetermined swirl design of the dough as it is dispensed on the moving conveyor. The plate includes openings through which the nozzles extend and are universally connected. The movement of the plate is responsive to a rotating cam which eccentrically drives a follower on the plate to dictate the preselected swirl design.
