Benefits of technology

[0002]The application of food material and confectionary material, such as cake frosting, to a food product generally involves urging the material through a piping tip having a generally conical shape with an orifice at the narrow end thereof. When not in use, the piping material near the orifice is exposed to the air, risking contamination and dehydration, which clogs the piping tip, making subsequent use difficult. The present invention is a system for capping a piping tip with a cap that is held in place by frictional engagement with the piping tip. Described herein is a piping tip cap and a piping tip cap system for capping a piping tip that is easy to use and solves the problems mentioned above. The device is of simple construction, inexpensive to produce, economical to maintain, and can be used in conjunction with all forms of piping tips.

Problems solved by technology

When not in use, the piping material near the orifice is exposed to the air, risking contamination and dehydration, which clogs the piping tip, making subsequent use difficult.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, shown are perspective views of first and second embodiments of the piping tip cap 10 disclosed herein. The invention comprises a piping tip cap 10 comprising a generally conical cover portion 14 having an interior surface 16, an exterior surface 18, a closed end 20 and an open end 22 sized to fit over a piping tip, a gripping portion 24 on the exterior surface 18 of the closed end 20 of the cover portion 14 and a plurality of frictional elements affixed to the interior surface 16 of the cover portion 14 for holding the cap 10 in position over the piping tip. The gripping portion 24 can be affixed to the cover portion 14 or can be integral with the cover portion 14, and can be in a shape which is easy to grip, for example, as a tab (FIG. 1) or as a loop (FIG. 2).

[0011]Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, shown is a perspective and a partial cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of a piping tip cap system disclosed herein. This embodiment is a pip...

Abstract

A cap which frictionally engages a piping tip has a generally conical cover portion with an interior surface, an exterior surface, a closed end and an open end sized to fit over a piping tip; a gripping portion on the exterior surface of the closed end of the cover portion; and a plurality of protuberances on the interior surface of the cover portion extending toward the closed end of the cover portion. The cap can include a circular ridge extending circumferentially around the interior surface of the cap, the ridge sized to fit within a circular indentation in the piping tip to maintain the cap on the piping tip.
