' Patented Feb. 27, 1940 I I UNITED ST PATENT OFFICE ICE SHAVING MACHINE Albert 0. Gray, Jackson Heights, N. Y. Application July 17, 1939, Serial No. 284.984 2 Claims. (01. 83-62) The present invention relates to new and use-- ful improvements in ice shaving machines and has for its primary object to provide, in aman- 7 her ashereinafter set forth, a device of this character which is adapted to be expeditiously mounted on and driven by an electric motor operated mixer of a type similar to thatconstituting the subject matter of U. S. Patent-No. 2,109,- 501, issued March 1, 1938.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a shaving machine of the aforementioned character comprising a discharge chute for the reception of the shaved ice, which chute may be-converiiently removed from the machine when desired.
Otherobjects of the invention are to provide an ice shaving machine of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly eflicient and reliable in use, compact, light in weight, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of an ice shaving machine constructed in accordance with the present invention, showing same mounted in position and ready for operation on a mixer.
Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a side elevational view with the upper portion of the mixer and the shaving machine in vertical section, taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary view in vertical section, taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2. I
Figure 5 is an elevational view of the shaving wheel.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary view in elevation of the portion of the housing on which the removable discharge chute is mounted.
Figure 7 is a detail View in perspective of the upper end portion of the discharge chute.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the reference numeral I designates the base of a conventional mixer whichconstitutes no part of the present invention. Mounted in the base I is an electric motor 2 which drives a vertical shaft 3, said shaft extending rotatably (see Fig. 4) in the section 9.
through the top 4 of the base I. Rising from the base I are retaining fingers 5. Suitable feet'6 are provided beneath the base I.
The embodiment of the present invention which has been illustrated comprises a housing of suitable metal which is designated generally by the reference numeral I. The housing I includes complemental sections 8 and 9 which are detachably secured together through the medium I" of bolts or the like ID. The housing I further includes a horizontally extending lower portion I I which is'adapted to be mounted on the base I. The portion II of the housing I has formed in its periphery a plurality of recesses I2 which I accommodate the retaining fingers 5.
. Mounted in the housing I is a horizontal shaft I3 having its end portions journaled in suitable bearings I4. Mounted on the shaft I3 for rotation in the housing 'I is a disc I5 in the form'of a beveled gear having formed therein a plurality of tangential slots I6. Mounted in the slots Iii are adjustable blades I'I. Communicating with the housing 'I is a hopper I8 on the section 8 of said housing.
Mounted on the section 9 of the housing I is a removable discharge chute I 9. The chute I9 communicates with the housing I for receiving shaved ice therefrom through an opening 20 Hingedly mounted onthe lower end of the chute I9 is aclosure 2| which is adapted to be secured in closed position through the medium of a suitable latch 22.
The chute I9 is detachably secured in position on'the housing I by means-including an angular finger 23 on the uppermost portion of said chute, 35 said finger being engage'able in an opening 24 which is provided therefor in the housing section 9 above the opening 20. A resilient clip 25 on the lower portion of the upper end of the chute I9 is engageable in the lower portion of the opening 20. A lip 26 extends from this portion of the chute I9 to a point closely adjacent the wheel or disc I5 for directing the shaved ice into said chute. 45
Journaled in suitable bearings which are provided therefor in the lower portion II of the housing I is a horizontal beveled gear 21. As
, illustrated to advantage in Fig. 3 of the drawings,
on the disc I5 are indicated at 28. These teeth are also shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings.
It is thought that the operation of the device will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, the casing 1 is mounted on the base l and the shaft 3 is engaged in the socket or bore provided therefor in the gear 27 thus connecting the disc l5 to the electric motor 2 for actuation thereby. Pieces or cubes of ice of any size within a given range, of course, are deposited in the hopper I8. As the disc l5 rotates this ice is shaved by the blades I1 and the shaved ice falls by gravity into the chute l9. A receptacle may be placed beneath the chute IQ for receiving the shaved ice therefrom or, if desired, the closure 2! may be swung to closed position for retaining the ice in said chute. Then, should it be desired, the chute I9 with the ice therein may be removed from the machine. The removable chute I9 also permits access to be conveniently had to the interior of the housing I through the opening 29 for adjusting the blades I I or for any other purpose. By removing the section 9 of the housing 1 from the section 8 other types of discs may be installed for different kinds of work such, for example, as for grinding coffee. When the shaver is not in use it may be ex peditiously lifted off the mixer base I.
It is believed that the many advantages of an ice shaving machine constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood and although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination'and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention claimed.
What is claimed is:
1. In combination a base, an electric motor 1 mounted in said base, a shaft driven by the motor and extending vertically through the top of the base and a plurality of retaining fingers rising from said base, a housing including ahorizontal 1 i lower portion adapted to be mounted on the base.
and having a plurality of recesses therein for the reception of the retaining fingers, a horizontal gear journaled in said lower portion of the housing and adapted for operative connection with the motor shaft for actuation thereby, a vertical disc journaled in the housing and operatively connected with the gear for actuation thereby, a plurality of blades mounted on said disc, a hopper mounted on the housing on one side of the disc, said hopper communicating with the housing for discharging ice thereinto, and a dis-" charge chute mounted on the housing on the opposite side of the disc and communicating I with said housing for receiving the ice therefrom.
'2. In combination a base, a vertical, motor driven shaft rising from said base and a plurality of retaining fingers rising from the base, a verti-H cal housing including a horizontal lower portion adapted to be. mounted on the base, said horizontal lower portion of the housing having a plurality of recesses therein for the reception of the retaining fingers, a vertical disc journaled in the housing, a plurality of blades on said disc, and means operatively connecting the disc: to the motor shaft for actuation thereby.
