• FIG. 3-5 but including a modification in the construction of the interior food container.
• the present invention relates to a holder for enabling a user, such as a child, to hold and to dispense ice-cream or other relatively soft food product or another pressure-flowable material such as a liquid medication, while consuming the dispensed food product.
• a holder includes a housing having an internal compartment for the product to be dispensed. One end of the housing is formed with at least one dispensing opening, preferably a plurality of such openings, for dispensing the product.
• the holder is constructed such that the volume of the compartment may be progressively decreased by the user (e.g., child) to progressively force the pressure-flowable product within the compartment through the dispensing opening of the housing for consumption.
• the drawings illustrate a number of such constructions of holders particularly useful for ice-cream or other relatively soft food products.
• the food product holder illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 includes a housing 10 of an elongated cylindrical configuration defining an internal food compartment 11 for containing ice-cream or other relatively soft food product.
• One end of housing 10 is closed by an end wall 12 formed with a plurality of dispensing openings 13 for dispensing the food product.
• End wall 12 thus defines one end of the food compartment 11.
• the opposite end of the food compartment is defined by a plunger 14 extending transversely of housing 10 and threadeadly received on a screw 15 extending axially of the housing. Screw 15 is fixed to a disc 16 exposed externally of housing 10, such that it is readily accessible to the user holding the food product.
• plunger 14 when compartment 11 of the food product holder illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 is filled with the food product, e.g., ice-cream, plunger 14 would be at its lowermost position within housing 10. As the user consumes the food product within compartment 11, the user manually rotates disc 16, to rotate screw 15, and thereby to move plunger 14 axially within housing 10. This progressively decreases the volume of compartment 11 such as to force the ice-cream (or other food product) through dispensing openings 13 for consumption by the user. Thus, by rotating external disc 16, the user may raise plunger 14 so as to engage end wall 12, and thereby to force substantially the entire contents of compartment 11 through dispensing openings 13 for consumption.
• the user may raise plunger 14 so as to engage end wall 12, and thereby to force substantially the entire contents of compartment 11 through dispensing openings 13 for consumption.
• the food product holder illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 may be constructed as a disposable article for one-time use. Alternatively, the holder can be constructed for multiple use. In such case disc 16 would be rotated in the opposite direction to lower plunger 14, and thereby to enable refilling of compartment 11, e.g., by opening end wall 12, or by forcing the food product through the dispensing openings 13.
• Figs. 3-5 illustrate a food product holder constructed substantially as described above with respect to Figs 1 and 2, except that the housing, therein generally designated 20, is configured as a toy so as to be particularly attractive to children.
• the food product holder illustrated in Figs. 3-5 is otherwise constructed similar to that described above with respect to Figs. 1 and 2.
• housing 20 defines an internal compartment 21 for containing the food product (not shown), which compartment is closed at one end by end wall 22 formed with a plurality of dispensing openings 23, and at the opposite end by a plunger 24 extending transversely of housing 20.
• Plunger 24 is threadedly received on a screw 25 extending axially of the housing.
• Screw 25 is secured at one end to a disc 26 extending externally of the housing so as to be readily accessible by the user, (e.g., child) for rotation hi order to progressively reduce the volume of the food compartment 21, and thereby to progressively force the food product therein out through the dispensing openings 23 for consumption.
• housing 20 in the food product holder illustrated in Figs. 3-5 is shaped like a toy figure having a flat base permitting it to stably rest on a flat horizontal surface.
• housing 20 is configured to simulate a head including a face having a pair of eyes 20a, a nose 20b and a mouth 20c.
• the external disc 26 used for rotating screw 25, in order to progressively force the food product through dispensing openings 23, is shaped to simulate feet, as shown at 26a, for stably supporting the housing on a flat horizontal surface.
• the food product holder illustrated in Figs. 3-5 further includes a cover 27 in the shape of a cap removably applied over end wall 22 to cover dispensing openings 23 during the time the holder is not actually used for dispensing the food product within it.
• compartment 21 for receiving the food product is defined by an inner housing 28 receivable within the outer housing 20.
• the outer housing 20 which is shaped like a toy figure, may be constructed for multiple use; whereas the inner housing 28 to contain the food product may be constructed as a disposable unit for one time use when the food product has been consumed.
• the outer housing 20 for multiple use would also include screw 25 threadeadly receiving plunger 24, but the latter elements could also be included in the disposable unit including the inner housing 28.
• plunger 24 is preferably of a non-circular configuration, in which case the inner housing 28 would be of a similar non-circular configuration.
• Such a construction prevents rotation of the plunger 24, upon rotation of screw 25, and thereby constrains the plunger to axial movement during the rotation of the screw.
• the outer housing 20 is made of two sections, as shown 2Od and 2Oe, Fig. 5, conveniently attachable to each other, e.g., by inclined ribs 2Of, Fig. 4.
• Figs. 6-8 illustrate a food product holder construction similar to that of Figs. 3-5, also including an outer housing 30 defining an inner compartment 31 closed at one end by end wall 32 having dispensing openings 33, and enclosing a plunger 34 carried by a screw 35.
• screw 35 is rotatable by an external, disc 36 to progressively advance the food product (e.g., ice-cream) within the inner housing container 38 through the dispensing openings 33.
• plunger 34 is not threaded on screw 35, but rather is fixed to the upper end of the screw.
• the screw is threadedly received in the lower housing section 30e, such that rotation of the screw advances the screw, together with plunger 34, with respect to the food product within the inner housing 38.
• the construction illustrated in Figs. 6—8 thus better lends itself for use with pre— filled containers 38 which can be introduced through the top of outer housing 30 and also removed through the top of the outer housing when the food product is depleted for replacement with another filled container.
• Figs. 9-12c illustrate a food product holder also similar to that of Figs.
• rack-and-pinion mechanism 49 includes a finger piece 49a extending externally of housing 40 and coupled to a of rack bars 49b extending within the housing and engageable with a pinion 49c fixed to screw 45.
• Rack bar 49b is yieldable engageable with pinion 49c and is urged to its outermost position by a spring 49d.
• the arrangement is such that finger pressure applied to finger piece 49a drives rack bar 49b in one direction through a forward stroke, and upon release of the finger piece, the rack bar is driven through a return stroke by the spring 49d, as shown in Figs. 12a-12c.
• Rack— and— pinion mechanism 49 further includes a mechanical stop 49c (Figs. 12a-12c), preventing reverse rotation of pinion 49c, thereby assuring that the operation of this mechanism will advance plunger 44 only in one direction, namely towards end wall 42 formed with dispensing openings 43.
• Figs. 13-15 illustrate a food product holder which is basically of the same construction as described above with respect to Figs. 9-12c, except that the end wall formed with the dispensing openings is fixed to the container containing the food product to be dispensed, as shown by end wall 52, dispensing openings 53 and container 58 in Figs. 13-15.
• the other elements of the food product holder in Figs. 13-15 are basically of the same construction, and therefore have been identified with the same reference numerals to facilitate understanding.
• Figs. 16-18 illustrate a food product holder also similar to that of Figs. 9-11, but in this case the base, therein designated 66, is longer in length so as to enable more convenient holding of the food product holder, and more convenient operation of the rack-and-pinion mechanism, therein designated 69, for progressively feeding the food product through the dispensing openings.
• the outer housing 60 in the food product holder illustrated in Figs. 16-18 is configured so as to enable the inner housing 68, when filled with the food product to be dispensed, to be introduced into the outer housing 60 from the bottom of the housing.
• a similar construction is provided in the previously-described holders.
• Figs. 19-21 illustrate a food product holder of similar construction, except one permitting the housing 78, when pre-filled with the food product to be dispensed, to be introduced into the outer housing 70 from the top of the housing.
• Figs. 22-24 illustrate a food product holder of a substantially different construction.
• the outer housing 80 also configured to simulate a toy face, is also closed at one end by an end wall 82 formed with dispensing openings 83. It also includes a plunger 84 progressively moved by the user to progressively force the food product within the inner housing 88 through the dispensing openings 83 in end wall 82.
• plunger 84 is raised by an inflatable body 89 within the inner housing 88, which is inflated by hand pump 89a accessible externally of housing 80 such that the user may progressively feed the food product within the inner housing 88 through dispensing openings 83 by operating hand-pump 89a to progressively inflate the inflatable body 89.
• Figs. 25-27 illustrate a further construction of food product holder, including an outer housing 90 defining an inner compartment 91 for the food product, e.g., icecream, to be held and dispensed via dispensing openings 93 formed in end wall 92.
• the outer housing 90 which is also shaped like a toy figure, is deformable by hand pressure, as shown particularly in Figs. 26 and 27, to progressively squeeze the food product within chamber 91 out through dispensing openings 93.
• Figs. 28-30 illustrates a food product holder including an outer housing 100 also having an inner compartment 101 closed by an end wall 102 formed with dispensing openings 103 enabling the user to progressively dispense the food product within the inner housing 108 via the dispensing openings 103.
• the inner housing 108 is deformable to progressively squeeze the food product in it through the dispensing openings 103.

• This construction also particularly lends itself to providing the food product in a container 108 which can be quickly removed when the food product is depleted and replaced by another pre-fiUed container.
• Figs. 31-35 illustrate another construction of food product holder also adaptable for use with pre-filled containers of the food products to be dispensed, e.g., ice-cream.
• the holder also includes an outer housing 110 shaped in the form of a toy, attachable and detachable from a base 116 shaped to constitute the feet of the toy.
• the food product to be held and dispensed by the holder is contained within a container 117 in the form of a cup open at its top and introduced into the holder when the outer housing 110 is separated from the base 116.
• Container 117 containing the food product to be dispensed, defines a compartment which can be progressively reduced in volume in order to force the food product therein through dispensing openings 113 formed in end wall 112 of housing 110.
• housing 110 includes a plunger 114 receivable within the open end of container 117 and progressively movable downwardly therein by a rack-and- pinion assembly, generally designated 118, to force the food product within container 117 through a pair of passages 119a, 119b, towards end wall 112 and through the dispensing openings 113 formed in that end wall.
• the two passageways 119a, 119b are in the form of tubes telescopically received within outer tubes 119c, 119d, integrally formed with end wall 112.
• the rack-and-pinion assembly 118 thus progressively lowers plunger 114 within the food container 117, and thereby progressively feeds the food product within that container through the dispensing openings 113.
• Assembly 118 may be of a similar construction as described above with respect to Figs. 9-12, to include the finger piece 118a for driving the rack bar 118b through forward and return strokes, respectively, in order to rotate pinion 118c in one direction.
• pinion 118c is secured to an end of a screw 115 received within an internally-threaded tube 115a fixed to the plunger 114.
• rotating pinion 118c drives, via tube 115a, plunger 114 downwardly within container 117, thereby forcing the food product, e.g., ice-cream, within that container upwardly through passageways 119a, 119b and through dispensing openings 113 in end wall 112.
• the finger piece 188a of the rack-and- pinion assembly 118 is configured to serve as the nose of the face simulated by the outer housing 110.
