emulsifiers stabilisers colours and flavours the frozen confection 1 can then be formed into products by extrusion through a nozzle 2 the frozen confection 1 is cut into pieces 4 by the cutter 3 the extruded and cut frozen confection pieces 4 drop onto a conveyor 5 which transports them through a hardening tunnel fig2 is a cross sectional view of a filling means and cavity according to the invention viewed along the direction of relative motion of the filling means and cavity the frozen confection is extruded through a nozzle 12 as before however the end of the nozzle 16 is not flat as in fig1 but is shaped in the embodiment shown it is scalloped though any suitable shape may be used adjacent to the nozzle end 16 is a cavity 18 in the embodiment shown the cavity is formed by a mould block 20 and a base 22 the base need not be flat but may also be shaped in cross section in the embodiment shown the base is concave though any suitable shape may be used once the cavity has been filled the cavity is moved relative to the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to the paper the nozzle end has a flange 24 which surrounds and seals the cavity as it is filled with the frozen confection so that the frozen confection cannot flow out of the cavity fig3 is a top view of the cavity 18 in the mould block 20 shown in fig2 a cavity having straight sides and rounded ends when viewed from above is shown however any suitable shape may be chosen for example circular oval star shaped or even the shape of an animal cartoon character face hand foot etc these sorts of 2d shaped.
