SAMUEL O. MOOMY, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO IVILLIAM A. SGHOENFIELD, OF SAME PLACE.

ICE-CREAM FREEZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 476,232, dated May 31, 1892.

Application filed September 14, 1891. Serial No. 405,619. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL G. MOOMY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice-Cream Freezers; and I do hereby 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.

This invention relates to ice-cream freezers; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

The invention is illustrated as follows: Figure 1 is a vertical section taken on the line 00 in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a top or plan View drawn on a reduced scale. Fig. 3 is a top or plan viewof the frame-piece G on the same scale as that used in Fig. 2.

A marks the receptacle for the freezing compound. As represented, this receptacle is a common ten-quart wooden pail, the other parts of the device being designed for use with a receptacle for the freezing compound of that size, the object being to make the apparatus applicable to ordinary wooden pails, so that it may be sold without a receptacle A, and be applied by the purchaser to any ordinary pail; but this is not an essential feature, for the apparatus may be made to fit various-sized tubs, buckets, or pails.

B is the receptacle for the cream or other compound to be frozen.

B is a gudgeon-plate attached centrally to the bottom of the receptacle B, which will be made round in horizontal cross-section.

B is a tube placed centrally in the receptacle B and opening out through the gudgeonplate ]3 at the bottom and extending upward to near the top of the receptacle.

B is the cover of the receptacle B.

D is a metal ring firmly secured to the top of the receptacle B and having at opposite sides thereof sockets D and D to receive the yoke E.

C is a frame for holding the upper end of the receptacle B centrally in the receptacle A.

F is a journal-block with three or more arms F, forming a spider, which sets on the bottom of the pail A, with the part F centrally located, so as to receive the gudgeon B onthe bottom of the cream-receptacle B. In the center of the block F, just below the mouth of the tube 13 is a squared opening or socket f.

G is the stirrer or dasher, which is an openwork frame firmly secured to ashaft G",which extends down through the tube B and has its squared end 9 seated in the squared socket f in the journal-block F. The upper end of the shaft G extends out through the cover B of the cream-receptacle and abuts against the handle B of the cover. The hole in the cover through which the shaft G passes serves as a journal for the shaft, and the handle 13, which in turn abuts against the yoke E,holds the shaft and dasher G G against longitudinal movement. The spider F F is held against rotary movement by the sharpened ends of the arms F, engaging with the bottom of the pail. The dasher G is held against rotation by the squared end of the shaft g, being seated in the socket f in the block F. The frame 0 is clamped to the pail A by the lug c and cam-lever c thereon, and it holds the cream receptacle, like a journal box, centrally in the pail, and so it is free to be rotated by the crank H, which fits upon a squared lug e on the yoke E. The yoke E, which fits in the socket D on the ring D at one end and is held in the socket D at the other end by a clasp d, holds the cover B on the receptacle. When the receptacle Bis rotated by turning the crank II, the dasher G being held against rotation, as above stated, agitates the cream or other mixture contained in the receptacle B.

WVhat I claim as new is- 1. In an ice-cream freezer, the combination, with the receptacle B, ring D, and yoke E at the top thereof, and the gudgeon B at the bottom thereof and having the tubular core B opening outwardly at the bottom through said gudgeon, of the spider F F, forming a bearing for said gudgeon, the ring 0, forming a bearing for the upper part of said receptacle B, and the dasher G within said receptacle having a shaft G extending through the said tube B and held against rotation by said spider.

, 2. In an ice-cream freezer, the combination, with the receptacle A, and the ring 0, and

spider F F, fixed to said receptacleA against ing a shaft G fitting within said tube and rotation, of the receptacle B, jonrnaled in the held against rotation by the said spider. [o ring 0 and the spider F E" and having at its In testimony whereof Iaflix mysignature in upper end the ring D, with sockets D D and presence of two Witnesses.

5 the yoke E, fitting in said sockets and hold- SAMUEL C. MOOMY.
