An Improved Machine for Freezing Cream and the like.

page_text: An Improved Machine for Freezing Cream and the like.
I, GEORGE NEWELL, of No. 9, Poplar Road, Sparbrook, in the County of Warwick
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates as hereinafter described to an improved machine for
freezing cream and the like and has for its object to provide a cheap and quicker
means of freezing than heretofore. In carrying my invention into effect I provide
a rectangular shaped box or trough made preferably in tin and divided in two
parts, one for the liquid and the other for the frozen cream. I provide a cylin-
drical drum also made in tin one end of which is free to open so that the ordinary
freezing mixture can be put in. To the other end of the drum a handle is fixed
for rotating the same. The drum is supported a little distance from the base
of the trough by a vertical bearing fixed to either side, through which passes an
axle terminating at one end into the handle a suitable scraper is pivoted to the
trough and when turned up inclines to the drum obliquely. The cream is poured
down a funnel in that part of the trough under the drum the handle of which
upon being turned, causes the drum by means of the freezing mixture inside to
freeze the cream therein and carry it round till it reaches the scraper which
scrapes the cream off and causes it to fall into the other division of the trough.
I provide an additional box the top of which is bent to form a scraper which may
be fastened on the end of the trough in case a small quantity of the ice cream or
the like is required. The aforesaid machine may be used for freezing light wines
and the like.
Freezing cream and the like.
I, GEORGE NEWELL, of No. 9, Poplar Road, Sparkbrook, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 as hereinafter described to an improved machine for
freezing cream and the like and has for its object to provide a cheap and quicker

the other for the frozen cream.
I provide a cylindrical drum also made in tin one end of which is free to open
so that the ordinary freezing mixture can be put in.
To the other end of the cylinder a handle is fixed for rotating the same.
The cylinder is supported a little distance from the base of the trough by a
vertical bearing fixed to either side, through which passes an axle terminating
at one end into the handle a suitable scraper is pivoted to the trough and when
turned up inclines to the cylinder obliquely. The cream is poured down a funnel
in that part of the trough under the cylinder, the handle of which, upon being
turned causes the drum by means of the freezing mixture inside to freeze the
cream therein and carry it round till it reaches the scraper which scrapes the
cream off and causes it to fall into the other division of the trough. I provide
an additional box the top of which is bent to form a scraper which may be fastened
on to the end of the trough in case a small quantity of the ice cream or the like is
required. The aforesaid machine may be used for freezing light wines and the like.
My invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings, the same letters of reference indicating similar parts throughout.
Figure 1 is a side elevation Figure 2 a plan Figure 3 a horizontal section and
Figure 4a section taken through the drum detached from the machine.
The metal drum A is rotated in the tin box or trough B by means of the
handle C. The end or lid of the drum-A-is-adjustable in order that the freezing
mixture may be put in. The drum is supported a little distance from the base
of the trough by the vertical bearings E, fixed at each side of the drum, through
which passes an axle F F, terminating at one end into-the-handle G_for_rotating
the drum.
The handle being screwed into the boss H is easily removed-so that the drum
can be taken out to be refilled with the freezing mixture. The scraper is
pivoted to the trough B and when turned up inclines to the trough obliquely.
The trough is separated by the partition P forming two receptacles, the one it for
the unfrozen cream, and the one S for the frozen cream.-
The cream or other liquid is poured down the funnel T into the receptacle R,
under the drum the handle G of which upon being rotated causes the cream to
adhere to the surface of the drum A and in a few seconds to become frozen.
The frozen cream thus formed is removed from the drum by means of the
scraper 0, which is so arranged that it may be brought into contact with the
said drum as described, the frozen cream falling into the receptacle S.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The combination in a machine for freezing cream and other liquids of a
rotary drum A having an adjustable end or lid D one of the axles F terminating
into the handle G which is screwed into the boss H thus being adjustable sub-
stantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. In a machine for freezing cream and other liquids the combination of a
drum as described above with the box or trough B, supporting the bearings E, E,
having the division P and forming two receptacles one for the unfrozen cream and
the other for the frozen, also the scraper O substantially as described and illus-
trated in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 27th day of November 1899.
