PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
The Packing and Keeping of Frozen Delicacies, such as Ices and Ice
Creams and the like.
WILLIAM ANKOBUS, The District Ice Works, Dukinfield, Cheshire, Refrigerating
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present way of keeping or packing ice creams or other frozen delicacies is
by packing the cavity between the tub & the freezer with ice and salt-in very
hot weather this packing requires constant renewell with fresh ice and salt so
as to keep a constant temperature or else the confection would become soft and
unsaleable.
My invention lies in packing a light good non-conducting substance in the
cavity surrounding the utensil which contains the confection-instead of using
ice & salt as at present or hitherto done. I first proceed by freezing the confection
as in the ordinary way or by coldness produced by the direct chilling of brine-
by the working of a mechancal freezing machineas an ice or cold storage plant.
The confection after being frozen is either packed direct with the freezer in which
it has been frozen or else taken out of the freezer in which it has been frozen
and put in another box or utensil which is then placed in a larger box having a
cavity of about an inch space between the box or utensil containing the confection
this cavity is filled with a non-conducting substance-such as-cork dust-peat
moss powder-cotton wool or other dry suitable substance-it is advantagious
to thoroughly chill the boxes and non-conducting substance before putting in the
frozen confection--both chilling the boxes--and putting up and boxing the creams
should be done in a cold air chamber.
.
(1st My invention or claim consists in the packing and keeping of such frozen
delicacies as ices and ice creams with any non-conductor in the place of ice and
salt as at present used as substantially described.
(2nd In first chilling both the non-conductors and boxes before packing or
boxing the frozen confections.

The Packing and Keeping of Frozen Delicacies, such as Ices and Ice
Creams and the like.
WILLIAM ANKOBUS, The District Ice Works, Dukinfield, Cheshire, Refrigerating.
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the

page_text: same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in the putting up-keeping-and con-
veying of ices ice creams or similar delicacies-which is brought about by
putting the ices in cavity boxes which are insulated in the cavity by a dry non-
conductor.
The present way of keeping and packing ices and other frozen delicacies is by
packing the cavity between the tub & the freezer-with ice & salt in very hot
weather this packing requires constant renewal so as to keep one constant tem-
perature or else the confection becomes soft and unsealable.
My invention lies in substituting a light dry non-conductor around the freezer
or be which contains the frozen confection in the place of ice and salt as hitherto
done I proceed first by freezing in the ordinary way--or by coldness produced
by the direct chilling of brine by the working of a mechanical freezing machine
such as ice & cold storage plant. The confection after being frozen is either
packed direct in the freezer in which it has been frozen or taken out of the freezer
and packed in another box which is then placed in a larger box-having about
an inch cavity between the 2 which cavity is packed or filled with a good non-
conductor such as cork dust-cotton wool or any other suitable substance-
first of all it is advantagious to thoroughly chill the boxes before putting in the
frozen ices which should be done in a cool chamber an example of the box I employ
for packing and conveying the ices is indicated in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1A is a plan of box.
Fig. 2 B is a longitudinal section.
Fig. 3-C is a horizontal section.
The ice cream or confection is packed in the inner box F. The non conducting
substance is indicated by E, the box lid by H, G, the outer box by D.

Invention
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what I claim is:--
(1) The packing and keeping of such frozen delicacies as ice and ice creams
with dry nonconductors in place of ice and salt.
(2) In first chilling both the non-conductors and boxes before packing in the
confections.
