Definitions

  • the present Utility Model application has as an object the registration of an improved insulating device for ice creams and frozen food dispensing machines incorporating remarkable innovations and advantages in front of the present thermally-insulated systems at the cooled dispensing machines.
  • the present invention consists in the arrangement of an insulating curtain with vertical strips in front of a cooled-products storage chamber of a dispensing machine being thus avoided any interchange of the environmental air with the inside cold air during opening, loading and other operations, and also prevented an ice or frost formation which could cause a blocking of the inside motions and product adherence between them and the machine structural members.
  • the improved insulating device for ice creams and frozen food dispensing machines object of the present registration is characterized in that it comprises insulating means for the cooled product storage chamber, but allows machine to be loaded by the operator when replenishing it with product. Effectively, when the machine is operating and closed, the inside low temperature causes condensation of the environmental humidity which is then stored frostlike.
  • any interchange of the inside air with the outside air is avoided on the one hand and if air leakage from outside is perceived, this air may then go on by raising a progressively-growing ice layer in the sensible portions of the cooled inside, on the other hand.
  • the present invention comprising the arrangement of a curtain of insulating members at the frontal side of the storage area of the dispensing machine just behind the inside doors.
  • Said curtain is made up with a plurality of vertically-arranged flexible strips, from wider to narrower ones, fitted at its top portion and embracing all the height of said storage area up to the isothermal insulating frame lower side.
  • Said isothermal frame dividing the cooled machine inside into two sections, the top section pertaining to the product storage area and being thereby the one mostly used during the products replenishment operations into the machine and the bottom section pertaining to all the product delivery and dispensing motions, covered by a purposely-prepared second door. Both doors are fully independent to avoid any unnecessary door opening.
  • the access distribution in two independent doors really means that two corresponding curtains are available, the top curtain made up with vertical strips of insulating material and the lower curtain indistinctly with strips or a single sheet embracing all the bay defined by the isothermal lower frame.
  • Said doors having at its inside perimeter a preferably neoprene-insulating gasket, the doors fitted to the isothermal frame to avoid any possible air leaks to the inside. The machine outside door is closed on these two doors.
  • the curtain vertical strips insulating the cooled inside chamber from the outside space, but allow the operator to easily insert products through the existing slits between two contiguous strips.
  • the contiguous strips are slightly overlapped to assure inside absolute hermetical sealing, and in case air leaked through the doors, humidity is then condensed on the curtains and does not get to go into the cooled chamber.
  • the single figure shows a perspective view of the device fitted to a dispensing machine with doors opened.
  • a preferred although non-exhaustive embodiment of the invention which consists of a dispensing machine (2) having a front door (6), two thermally-insulating inside doors (5) and a cooled storage chamber (1), each of said inside doors (5) having an insulating gasket (4) at its lower perimeter and two curtains (8, 9) are placed on the isothermal frame (7) in association with each of the doors (5), said curtain (8) being made up with a plurality of vertically-arranged, slightly mutually-overlapped strips of insulating and resilient material.
  • the lower curtain (9) is arranged from the frame (7) central traverse beam to the frame lower edge, and is made up with a single sheet of insulating and resilient material separating the stored product dispensing electromagnetic members (3) from the outside.
