Definitions
- a device for fixedly holding jugs and similar cups A device for fixedly holding jugs and similar cups.
- the present invention relates to a device for fixedly holding jugs and similar cups of disposable type in an apparatus for filling the cup with a viscous mass, like soft ice-cream, and agitating the mass in the cup with a rotary agitating means having an agitator spoon sticking down into the mass.
- Devices of this type which have a holding means, in which the cup can be positioned during a first working operation, that is filling the cup with soft ice-cream.
- a second working operation that is a rotary agitating of the soft ice-cream together with a surface layer of coloured sprinkling powder or similar powder by means of a rotary agitating means, the cup has to be hold firmly by hand. This is the case also when the agitator spoon has to be pulled up from the mass.
- the object of the invention is to achieve a device of the initially mentioned type comprising a means for holding the cups, which means prevents the cup from being turned around during the agitating, and which means presents a better result than that obtained by the known devices.
- the device comprises the two essentially horizontal guide surfaces between which it is possible to push in the vertically fixed cup between the two arms that are movable towards each other under the influence of a spring force, which arms have arc-shaped clamping surfaces that are pressed towards opposite sides of the cup just beneath its opening, i.e. where the diameter is at its largest.
- the arms are capable of preventing the cup from rotating during the rotary agitating without applying a clamping force large enough for causing a risk of deformation of the cup.
- the opening of the top guide wall is U-shaped and open against the front edge of the guide wall, as set forth in claim 3, and the agitator spoon is designed as a disposable spoon, which is easily removable from the agitating means and which is permitted to be left in the mass in the cup during the feeding out from the device.
- the arms designed resiliently biased towards each other are preferably characterized in accordance with claim 4 to facilitate the feeding in and feeding out of the cup between the guide surfaces.
- Figure 1 is a front elevation, partly in section
- Figure 2 is a plan view
- Figure 3 is a plan view of a part showing one of the arms with an arc-shaped clamping surface.
- Fig.l of the drawing discloses the device with a back wall 1 to which a top guide wall 2 is attached.
- the underside of the top guide wall forms a top guide surface 3.
- a bottom guide wall 4 is resiliently attached to said back wall, and the upper surface of said bottom guide wall forms a bottom guide surface 5.
- two arms 6,7 are attached movable towards each other under the action of a spring force.
- the arms are provided with clamping means 8,9 with arc-shaped clamping surfaces 10,11 adapted to the diameter of a cup 12 slightly beneath its opening edge.
- a frame 13 is attached to the top guide wall 2, which frame extends downwards and with a bottom part 14 is positioned beneath the bottom guide wall 4.
- the downwards directed parts of the frame 13 are connected to a rod 15, which forms a stop means for a cup 12 pushed in between the guide walls 2,4.
- the opening of the cup 12 will be positioned straight under the inner part of the U-shaped opening 16 of the top guide wall 2, as shown in Fig.2.
- There it is fixedly positioned in lateral direction between the two clamping means 8,9 of the arms, which have yielded a bit out from the side edges of the top guide wall 2.
- the shape of the clamping means 8,9 is shown in more detail in Fig.3.
- the clamping surfaces 10,11 are preferably corrugated, and the clamping means 8,9 are attached to the end portions of folded parts of the arms 6,7 by rivets 17, such that the central portions of the clamping means 8,9 are imparted a certain movability.
- the clamping means are intended to prevent turning of the cup 12 at the agitation of a viscous mass 19 filled through a feeding tube 18 of an apparatus not shown by an agitating spoon 20 attached to a rotary shaft end 21 of the apparatus not shown, the clamping means have to impart a certain press power against the cup 12.
- a cap 22 having a large central opening 23 before the introduction of the cup into the device.
- the cup 12 with the cap 22 is intended to be pushed into the device between the two guide surfaces 3,5, and simultaneously the bottom guide wall 4 is yielding a bit downwards.
- the arms 6,7 with the clamping means 8,9 are yielding a bit outwards.
- the front parts 24 of the clamping means 8,9 are preferably provided with a surface of low friction , for instance a folded down, curved portion 24 of the respective arm 6,7, which are made of rustproof steel.
- a viscous mass of soft ice-cream 19 is filled into the cup from the feeding tube 18.
- a motor not shown, is started and rotates the shaft end 21 and the spoon 20, such that the soft ice-cream is agitated, and a portion of coloured sprinkling powder fed down is forming a decorative helical streak on the surface of the ice-cream before the rotation of the shaft end 21 is stopped.
- the spoon 20 is disconnected from the shaft end 21 and is left in the cup when the cup is pulled out from the device, after which the cap 22 is removed and the cup with the spoon, which has a suitable form for being used as a spoon, can be handed over to the customer.
- a cap of disposable type it is suitable to provide the cap with a stiff, interior or exterior flange extending down in the cup to stiffen the wall of the cup alongside the area where the clamping surfaces are pressed against the cup. Since a certain precision is necessary at the pressing of the clamping surfaces, and cups of slightly different heights might be used, it is preferable to arrange the bottom guide wall 4 as the resilient guide wall. As an alternative it is also possible to arrange the feeding down of the viscous mass through the shaft of the agitator spoon, which shaft for practical reasons and structural strength reasons suitably is tubular. Further, the legs of the U-shaped opening in the top guide wall may be shorter than shown in the drawing, such that the shape of the opening becomes more like a semi circle.
