PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction or Arrangement of Portable
Freezing Machines.
I, JAMES OSBORN SPONG, of 226 High Holborn, County of London, Domestic
Appliances Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
For the purpose of this invention, I construct a cylindrical or part cylindrical
shaped casing with closed ends, and provided with a hinged lid capable of being
secured by a catch. This casing can have ribs on its exterior, or be provided with
axle pins for setting it upon a frame for oscillatory action by hand.
I also construct tapered open ended tubes with a spread out mouth or mouths
for the easy reception of closing corks or stoppers, which tubes when charged with
milk, or other liquid, or a compound can be closed up, and be placed in the casing
in conjunction with the freezing mixture.
The casing can then be oscillated by a handle for the freezing operation, which
only occupies a short time, and on the lid being opened, the tubes can be removed,
and the corks, or stoppers withdrawn for the stick or column of frozen body to be
expelled, or to fall out at the wider diameter of the tube or tubes, and according
to the number of tubes placed in the casing.
If the tube, or tubes be only partially charged with, say, a cream mixture, a
hollow liner will be formed, and this can be easily filled up by a mixture of another
kind with a flavouring, say strawberry to make a fancy ice.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction or Arrangement of Portable
Freezing Machines.
I, JAMES OSBORN SPONG, of 226 High Holborn, County of London, Domestic
Appliances Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to certain improvements in the construction or arrange-
ment of portable freezing machines.
The invention I show in the annexed drawings,
Figure 1 being a part sectional elevation.
Figure 2 part perspective elevation of a cylinder on standards.
Figure 3 a perspective elevation of a cylinder to be rolled upon a table by its
handle.
For the purpose of my invention, I construct a cylindrical, or part cylindrical
shaped casing A with closed ends B, B, and provided with a hinged lid C capable
of being secured by a catch, or it may be a hole closable by a bung.
This casing has axle pins D, D, for setting it upon a frame E for oscillatory
action by handle F through the intervention of a crank G and slotted bar H
depending from the casing A, or by rolling the casing_A_to and fro on a table by
the handle F by means of the wire brace I, the stops J, J, limiting the arc of the
circle on which the oscillatory motion is given.

page_text: I also construct tapered open ended tubes and arrange them in the cylinder A,
the tubes each having a spread out mouth or mouths for the easy reception of
closing corks, or stoppers L, L, which tubes, when charged with milk, or other
liquid, or a compound, can be closed up, and be placed in the casing A in conjunc-
tion with the freezing mixture.
The casing is oscillated by the handle F for the freezing operation, which only
occupies a short time, and on the lid C being opened, the tubes K can be lifted by
the chain M for removal, and the corks or stoppers withdrawn for the stick or
column of frozen body to be expelled, or to fall out at the wider diameter of the
tube or tubes, and according to the number of tubes K placed in the casing A.
If the tube or tubes be only partially charged with say, a cream mixture, a
hollow liner will be formed, and this can be easily filled up by a mixture of another
kind with a flavouring, say, strawberry, to make a fancy ice.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed i declare that what I
claim is :-
--
1. The construction of a portable oscillatory casing, with insertable tapered
tubes, as a means for making a frozen mixture in said tubes by the surrounding
freezing agent within the casing, in the manner described, and substantially as
represented in the annexed drawings.
2. The employment of removable tapered tubes, with both ends open, in a
casing of a portable freezing machine, said tapered tubes being closable by stoppers
for temporarily retaining the liquid to be frozen within them when said tubes are
within the casing holding the freezing agent, as set forth.
