Definitions
- the present patent application for industrial invention concerns a refrigerated counter-display for selling homemade ice-cream, having an integrated whipped cream dispenser apparatus.
- Components of the refrigerant unit are housed within the above base, while above the same a tank is obtained aimed to exactly contain different cups for different flavors of homemade ice-cream, leaving them well visible to the consumer.
- Apparatuses known as "whip cream” are also known in the field of shops, said apparatuses being suitable to deliver whipped cream to put on the ice-cream sold to the clients.
- a typical whip cream apparatus provides a metal housing, within which a container is provided, into which liquid cream is poured by operator.
- Said container is connected to a small refrigerant group, maintaining the same at an exercise temperature between 2°C and 4°C, as well as a pump that, by input from operator, promotes pressure delivery of refrigerated whipped cream toward a delivery spout.
- said spout is so shaped that cream, passing through the same under pressure, can incorporate air, thus increasing its volume and becoming a soft and pasty fluid product (whipped cream).
- a typical problem of homemade ice-cream shops is that space available for selling the product is very small.
- Basic idea of the present invention is that of building-in a whip cream apparatus within the structure of a refrigerated counter-display, so that said whipped cream delivery spout is placed above ice-cream cups, toward the top of the glazed unit of the same counter-display.
- Such an incorporation permits, on one hand, optimizing spaces and reducing general sizes of a space used to sell homemade ice-cream, and, on the other hand, ensures to the operators a more comfortable and ergonomic working situation.
- the operator can first fill in the cone or cup with ice-cream, and, without changing his/her posture (thus without the needing of moving laterally, or turning back) can then put on the wished whipped cream garnish.
- Choice of having provided spout of said whip cream apparatus at the top of the glazed unit of the new counter-display is particularly advantageous also because it permits to the client purchasing the icecream to closely control delivery of whipped cream over the same.
- client is in a condition of best evaluating delivered product and to be reassured about quality of the same.
- condensation group of the whip cream apparatus is "hidden" housed within hollow base of counter-display, while pump delivering whipped cream, container of the same and relevant dispenser are provided toward the top (substantially on the roof) of relevant glazed unit, particularly providing that said spout is faced toward the operator.
- figure 1 is a section view showing a first embodiment of the counter-display according to the invention.
- figure 2 is a section view showing a second embodiment of the counter-display according to the invention.
- counter-display provides a general structure having a standard arrangement, in which it is possible individuating a hollow basement 1 and an upper glazed unit 2, provided with an opening 3 faced toward the operator.
- a tank 4 is provided for containing a plurality of homemade ice-cream cups 5, which is maintained at a low temperature by a traditional refrigerant system, the refrigerant fluid condensation group 6 of which is housed within said hollow base 1.
- peculiarity of counter-display according to the invention is that of building-in a whip cream apparatus A.
- said base 1 also houses a second condensation group 7, which is a component of a refrigerant system suitably destined to said whip cream apparatus A.
- Said components are liquid cream container 8, pump 9 and delivery spout 10, faced toward operator.
- Connection between the above specific condensation group 7 and liquid cream refrigerated container 8 t the top of the glazed unit 2 is realized by a suitable circuit that is invisible from the client-side of counter- display, since tubes 11 are housed within one of metallic uprights 12 of the same glazed unit 2.
- Figure 2 instead shows an alternative solution, characterized by providing that said whip cream apparatus A is not provided with a specific condensation group, exploiting the action of main condensation group (6), i.e. that of the standard refrigerating system of the counter-display.
- tube 11 connecting to refrigerated container 8 of whip cream apparatus A really is a branching of the same refrigerating system provided for the tank 4 above base 1.
- said tube 11 is joined with low pressure branch 13 of main refrigerating circuit of inventive counter- display.
