FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Disclosed herein is a new a table mountable detachable holder for firmly holding string hopper maker. This invention relates to a noodle making machine and more specifically to a machine for mounting the traditional Iddiyappam maker to any horizontal plane. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Idiyappam is also known as Noolputt/Nooputt/Putumayam(Malaysia) /sevai/ string hopper is a very popular Tamilnadu/kerala . it is food consisting of rice flour pressed into noodle form and then steamed. Idiyappam is culinary specialty in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Sri Lanka and southern areas of Kamataka (especially in the districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kodagu). It is also a culinary staple in Sri Lanka. The name idiyappam derives from the Tamil/Malayalam words idi, meaning 'broken down', and appam, meaning "pancake". Pronounced as e-di- ap-pam. The dish is also, frequently, called noolappam or noolputtu from the Malayalam/Tamil/Kannada/Kodava word nool, meaning "string or thread", especially in Kodagu. In coastal areas of Kamataka it is also termed semige. It is common in Malaysia, where it is called putumayam. It is prepared by forming noodle-like pattern with rice flour paste before steam boiling Idiyappam.
The present invention is in fact a table mountable holder for the traditional Idiyappam making machine which could hold the machine very tightly with less effort.
The traditional Idiyappam making machine is generally made of brass copper, stainless steel or even aluminum alloy. It has a cylindrical barrel to contain the dough mixture, a piston to press the dough mixture within the barrel through an extrusion disc with small holes, a ram to move the piston up and down. The machine is operated by the rotating handle and the piston will be

operated simultaneously by turning the handle. However the problem with the traditional machine is that the machine has to be held in bare hands. The user must tightly hold the machine in one hand and he must rotate the handle firmly using the other hand. Much pressure is exerted on the users hand since the counter forces will be impacted on both hand. Since the dough is a semi solid substance it requires much force to extrude through the small hole in the extrusion disc. If the machine could be mounted to a table or a flat convenient space both hands could be used for turning the handle and requires only comparatively lesser effort. There is no such invention or prior art which solves the above problem. Another problem with the traditional machine is that it generally has a very smooth outer body particularly the barrel. The machine has to be held tightly in one hand by catching hold on the barrel, which is generally polished and smooth surface, which makes it strenuous effort to hold the machine. The tight holding of the Idiyappam maker itself is an unsolved problem. There is traditional method or any published invention which solves these problems.
For example A21CU/18 Extruding machines with pistons is an Idiyappam making machine. This Idiyappam making machine has a cylindrical barrel to contain the dough mixture, a piston to press the dough mixture within the barrel through a extrusion disc with small holes, a ram to move the piston up and down, a gear system to ease the operation, a handle to operate the machine, eight gears to transfer the force, four shafts to transfer the force and rotating tray to catch the string hopper. All the above parts are mounted in a base structure and the structure will be placed on a table and hold tightly by means four suction cups. In this machine the rotating tray and the piston will be operated simultaneously by turning the handle.
From the above description of the invention itself it is discernable that it is a mechanized idiyyappam maker. The inventor merely mechanized the

machine by introducing shafts, and gear system. However the above invention is not a solution for the above cited problems. The above invention is in fact a substitute for the traditional machine. But it can't be used as a simple add-on to the traditional maker. The user has to give away the traditional one and has to replace it with the above machine. However there must be solution utilizing the existing traditional maker.
Another invention A21C11/16 Extruding machines US7160098B2 String hopper making machine has a dough container removably mounted in a vertical manner in a frame. An extrusion piston is mounted on a vertical rod extending through a vertical guide channel formed in a guiding block mounted on the frame. The vertical rod is pivotally mounted to a front end of a lever arm which has a rear end pivotally mounted to a pivot arm of a pivot block rotatable relative to the frame. An elongated handle rod is mounted at a front end of the lever arm and is operative for pivoting the lever arm for moving the piston in an up and down vertical direction for mounting the dough container to the frame and for extruding the dough mixture from the dough container to form the string hopper.
The above invention is also a mechanized extruding machine and does not answer the problems of the traditional idiyappam maker.
It does not provide for the purpose which achieved in the present invention.
SUMMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a traditional string hopper making machine, a holder which is easy to operate and to reduce the strain in holding the machine in one hand and rotating the holder with the other.
In a traditional machine the machine has to be held in bare hands. The user must tightly hold the machine in one hand and he must rotate the handle

firmly using the other hand. Much pressure is to be exerted on the users hand since the counter forces will be applied on both hand. The machine has to be held tightly in one hand by catching hold on the barrel, which is generally polished and smooth surface, which makes it strenuous effort to hold the machine. The tight holding of the Idiyappam maker is the problem for which a solution is sought in the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof in connection with the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 shows the shape configuration of the invention. The connector has a cylindrical surface where the Iddiyappam maker is fixed. Novelty lies in the shape and configuration of the string hopper holder. At the one side it has a tightening screw with a flat knob. The holder assembly is primarily cylindrical shaped cavity. Once the traditional string hopper machine made of brass or aluminum is placed inside the assembly and the screw is tightened the cylindrical cavity is reduced pushes the machine to the wall of the cavity assembly. When the knob is tightened well the machine will be firmly held inside the walls of cavity of cylindrical holder assembly.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference to the drawings wherein like corresponding parts in the several views, the string hopper machine of the present invention has a generally C-shaped frame. It has the screw arrangement at the lower base to mount the main frame to the table.
The frame has a front extension a cylindrical shaped cavity where in the string hopper assembly could be connected. A screw with a flat nob is mounted on the outer joining wall of the cylinder so that once the Iddiyappam maker

assembly is inserted and the knob is tightened the assembly will be mounted more rigidly. The machine may be securely mounted to a supporting surface such as a table top with the ordinary screw arrangement as best shown in Figure no.l.
The string hopper holder assembly has to be fitted tightly in a horizontal plane so that the machine will be in a vertical position. Once the flat knob mounted to the screw in the external wall of the cylindrical holder is tightened the inner area of the cylinder reduces and will push the machine to the inner wall of the holder. The applicant claims novelty in the cylindrical inner cavity and the tightening mechanism. Since a cylindrical inner cavity is adopted, once the knob is tightened the pressure is exerted at all points of contact.
Thus the present invention a traditional string hopper making machine, a holder which is easy to operate and to reduce the strain in holding the machine in one hand and rotating the holder with the other. The present invention is only intended to be relating to the traditional hand operated string hopper maker.
The traditional machine has to be held in bare hands. The user must tightly hold the machine in one hand and he must rotate the handle firmly using the other hand. Much pressure is exerted on the users hand since the counter forces will be impacted on both hand. The machine has to be held tightly in one hand by catching hold on the barrel, which is generally polished and smooth surface, which makes it strenuous effort to hold the machine. The tight holding of the Idiyappam maker is solved in this invention since the barrel of the traditional maker could be firmly held in the newly invented holder.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
