Description
Title: FOOD DISPENSING NOZZLE
Applicant: Bunns (Bermuda) Limited Inventor: J. R. G. Adams BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention This invention relates to a food dispensing nozzle, and in particular, to a device for injecting separate serves of any solid) but divisible food. The invention is particularly suitable for injecting ice cream, frozen yoghurt, or the like into a soft baked good, such as a 1 o bun, doughnut, or the like. The resulting product is a soft ice cream or yoghurt bun which can be eaten by hand with the same facility as an ice cream cone.
For convenience, the description will refer to a nozzle for injecting ice cream into a bun, but it will be understood by those skilled in the art that such references are only intended to be illustrative and are not intended to be limiting.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In orderthat the invention may be more clearly understood, the preferred embodiment thereof will now be described in detail by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
2o Fig. 1 is an elevation view of a preferred embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is an elevation view thereof showing two jaws;
Fig. 3 is an elevation view thereof showing the connection of the jaws to the coupling;
Fig. 4 is an elevation view thereof showing the jaws in the open position;
Fig. 5 is an elevation view thereof before penetrating the bun;
Fig. 6 is an elevation view showing the jaws penetrating the bun;
Fig. 7 is an elevation view showing the jaws completing the penetration of the bun and dispensing the ice cream; and Fig. 8 is an elevation view showing the bun withdrawn from the nozzle.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 shows a hollow coupling member 1, which has an inlet 2, preferably threaded on its inner surface for connection to a correspondingly threaded outlet tube 3 of a conventional ice cream dispensing machine 4 (shown in Figs.
5-8). The inner ~o surface of the coupling member has an annular shoulder 5, and an annular collar 6 is mounted on the outer surface of the coupling member.
Preferably, two concentric jaws 7 are each pivotably connected to the outlet 8 of the coupling member 1 in any suitable fashion, such as via pivots 9. The outer edges 10 of the jaws are sharpened and preferably serrated. In the closed position, the jaws define a conical ~5 shape. As shown in Figs. 2-4) the jaws are biased in the closed position by any suitable biasing means, such as, for example, a flat spring 11 mounted on the coupling member 1 descending over the jaws 7.
Fig. 1 shows the connection of the nozzle to the outlet tube 3 of a conventional ice cream machine 4 (shown in Fig. 5-8). The coupling member 1 is threaded onto the outlet 2o tube 3 of the ice cream machine 4 until the annular shoulder 5 abuts against the end of the outlet tube, ensuring that the ice cream flowing out of the outlet tube will flow through the '7 nozzle.
Figs. 5-8 show the operation of the nozzle according to the present invention

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 shows a hollow coupling member 1, which has an inlet 2, preferably threaded on its inner surface for connection to a correspondingly threaded outlet tube 3 of a conventional ice cream dispensing machine 4 (shown in Figs.
5-8). The inner ~o surface of the coupling member has an annular shoulder 5, and an annular collar 6 is mounted on the outer surface of the coupling member.
Preferably, two concentric jaws 7 are each pivotably connected to the outlet 8 of the coupling member 1 in any suitable fashion, such as via pivots 9. The outer edges 10 of the jaws are sharpened and preferably serrated. In the closed position, the jaws define a conical ~5 shape. As shown in Figs. 2-4) the jaws are biased in the closed position by any suitable biasing means, such as, for example, a flat spring 11 mounted on the coupling member 1 descending over the jaws 7.
Fig. 1 shows the connection of the nozzle to the outlet tube 3 of a conventional ice cream machine 4 (shown in Fig. 5-8). The coupling member 1 is threaded onto the outlet 2o tube 3 of the ice cream machine 4 until the annular shoulder 5 abuts against the end of the outlet tube, ensuring that the ice cream flowing out of the outlet tube will flow through the '7 nozzle.
Figs. 5-8 show the operation of the nozzle according to the present invention
2 The nozzle, with the jaws 7 in the closed position, is forced to penetrate the bun 12 until the bun abuts against the annular collar 6. The ice cream machine 4 then injects a predetermined amount of ice cream through the nozzle into the bun. The jaws are forced into an open position within the bun 12 by the internal pressure of the flowing ice cream. When the filling of the bun s is completed, the bun is pulled down from the nozzle, with the ice cream remaining within the bun.
The jaws 7 are preferably manufactured from plastic or from some other material with a low coefficient of friction. For the ice cream to remain within the bun when the bun 12 is withdrawn from the jaws 7 of the nozzle, the coefficient of friction between the bun and the ice cream must be greater than that between the ice cream and the jaws.
It will be appreciated that the above description relates to the preferred embodiment by way of example only. Many variations on the invention will be obvious to those knowledgeable in the field, and such obvious variations are within the scope of the invention as described and claimed, whether or not expressly described.
