Title: Moldable food depositing apparatus

Abstract: A pizza apparatus transfer plate having metering openings is selectively coupled to a pressurized meat source to form and apply meat patties. An air passageway is coupled to the meter openings and selectively wipe the meat from the plate. An air chamber is mounted on top of the meat chamber and connected by air tubes to bottom opening in the meat chamber. Alternatively, the metering plate openings is aligned with a metering piston having a concentric air passageway which is appropriately opened to wipe the meat from the plate. The metering plate is thus coupled to a meat source to fill the openings and then coupled to the air passageway to positively force the patties onto the bases. Individual patty forming and applying units are preferably provided and mounted in a pattern to directly correspond to the meat pattern on the completed pizza.
