JOSEPH OIOERO BEARD, OF MONROE, LOUISIANA.

ICE-CREAM FREEZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,659, dated December 16, 1890.

Application filed July 26, 1890. Serial No. 360,033. (No model-) To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH OIoERo BEARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Monroe, in the parish of Ouachita and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice-Machines; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention hasrelation to freezers; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l. is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View of .the cylinder. Fig. 3 is a face view of the detachable lid of the cylinder. Fig. 4 is an end View of the cylinder, the lid being detached. Fig. 5 is a perspective View of the perforated bucket containing the perforated cylinder 1) and cans b. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of a double can.

My invention is described as follows:

I have a cylinder A with a detachable lid a, and buttons ct to keep said lid in place, and on its inside are flanges a (See Figs. 2 and 4.) Said lid is provided with an axle a on the outer end of which is fixed a crankarm and crank a Said lid afits tightly in a socket a in the opening a of the cylinder A.

Inside of cylinder A, and securely lodged between the flanges a is a perforated bucket B, in the center of which is an open-headed perforated cylinder 1), and arranged around said cylinder in a circle are a number of double or single cans I). Said bucket and contents can be slipped out of said cylinder A through the opening a at will. Said double cans consist of two parts I) and b, of equal length, the former fitting snugly in the latter, and each part has a ring 19 attached to its head, so that they may be pulled apart. Lid a has around the edge of its inner face a strip of packing a of rubber or cloth, so that said lid can be made to fit air-tight in the opening a". On the closed head of cylinder A is an axle a (see Fig. 2,) that corresponds to the axle a on the lid to. Cylinder A rotates on axles a a in a box O, provided with sockets e to receive said axles, said axles being held in said sockets by the top 0.

My invention is operated as follows: I put the'ingredients to be frozen in the cans b and put said cans in the perforated bucket, with the perforated open-headed cylinder in the center. Then I slip the bucket in between the flanges a in the cylinder A, then pour in the freezing-mixture, then fasten the lid by buttons at tightly in the opening a, then place the cylinder A in the box O, and rotate said cylinder by crank-arm and crank a. When the cylinder A rotates, the freezingmixture will flow through the perforations in the bucket B and through the perforations in the open-headed perforated cylinder 5 and will get all around the outside of the cans b and will solidly freeze the contents of the same. When the freezing-mixture first reaches the cans b, the outer side of the inner part and the inner side of the outer part will freeze together, thus preventing the freezing-mixing from getting to the contents of the cans. After the freezing is done I place the cans in water for a few seconds, and then the two parts will easily slip apart and the contents will slip out in solid rolls.

In this freezer I can freeze at the same time a number of different substances.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A'freezer consisting of the cylinder A, having the flanges a and opening a, lid at, having the packing a perforated bucket B, perforated cylinder 1), cans I), having the two parts and each part provided with a ring 19 axle a buttons at, crank-arm and crank a and box 0, all substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

2. A freezer consisting of the cylinder A, having the flanges a and lid a, having the packing a perforated bucket 13, fitting between the fianges a perforated cylinder b, and cans Z1, fitting into said perforated bucket, said cylinder A being provided with axles and proper means for rotating said cylinder, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH CICERO BEARD.
