Complete Specification Left, 8th Feb., 1895--Accepted, 23rd Mar., 1895
We, LEONARD ROBERTS, and HEDLEY GEORGE ROBERTS, both of
270, Camberwell Road, in the County of London, Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
Our invention relates to ice-cream freezers of the kind described in the
Specification of former Letters Patent granted to us No. 9391 of 1893.
In the apparatus described in the former Specification the chamber in which the
cream or other liquid is frozen is arranged within the chamber containing the
freezing mixture so that access to the former could only be obtained by opening
the latter.
The object of our present invention is to permit of access to the cream chamber
without opening the freezing mixture chamber and for this purpose the lid end of
the cream chamber is according to the present invention arranged to project through
the closed end of the freezing mixture chamber the other end of the cream chamber
being permanently closed.

We, LEONARD ROBERTS, and HEDLEY GEORGE ROBERTS, both of
270, Camberwell Road, in the County of London, Manufacturers, 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:-
Our invention relates to ice-cream freezers of the kind described in the
Specification of former Letters Patent granted to us No. 9391 of 1893.
In the apparatus described in the former Specification the chamber in which
the cream or other liquid is frozen is arranged within the chamber containing the
freezing mixture so that access to the former can only be obtained by opening
the latter.
The object of our present invention is to allow access to the cream chamber
without opening the freezing mixture chamber and for this purpose the lid end of
the cream chamber is, according to the present invention, arranged to project
through the closed end of the freezing mixture chamber the other end of the cream
chamber being permanently closed.
To enable our invention to be fully understood we will describe how it can be
carried into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figures 1 and 2 are respectively a plan and an end view of an ice-cream freezing
apparatus embodying our present improvements:
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of the same with the handle for enabling it to
be rotated removed:

page_text: Figures 4 and 5 are an end elevation and a sectional plan respectively illustrating
a modification.
Similar letters in all the figures indicate similar parts.
a is the outer cylinder forming the freezing mixture chamber; b is the inner
cylinder forming the cream chamber the lid end of which projects through the
closed end c of the freezing mixture chamber a so as to allow the cover e to be
removed to afford access to the cream chamber without opening the freezing
mixture chamber u. The inner or closed end of the cream chamber is secured to
the freezing mixture chamber a at a distance from the cover g thereof by means of
metal strips h, h so as to provide a continuous freezing mixture chamber extending
over the inner end as well as the sides of the cream chamber b, the flange with which
the cover g of the freezing mixture chamber was provided according to the Specifi-
cation of our said former Patent being now dispensed with as well as the perforated
shield referred to in the said Specification. j, j are the trunnions upon which the
apparatus is rotated, one of the said trunnions being carried by the cover e of the
cream chamber b instead of by the closed end thereof as heretofore; k is the usual
spring handle for suspending the apparatus by its trunnions to allow it to be rotated
or for pulling it along the ground.
When employing several cream chambers we connect them together by solder
or otherwise as shewn in Figures 4 and 5 and secure them to the freezing mixture
chamber a by strips of metal h, in a similar manner to that hereinbefore
described and provide the ends which project outside the freezing mixture
chamber each with a cover e; the trunnion; at this end being formed of a rod
placed and fixed between the three cream chambers b, b, b as shewn clearly in
Figure 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. An ice cream freezing apparatus of the kind herein referred to having the
lid end of the cream chamber (or chambers) projecting through the closed end of
the freezing mixture chamber and the other end of the cream chamber (or chambers)
permanently closed substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The improved ice cream freezing apparatus herein before described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.
