Abstract

An ice-cream maker (11) comprises a container (12) which can be closed at the top through a lid (13) which is equipped with an opening (14) to allow the introduction of a mixture to be treated inside. The ice-cream maker (11) supports a motor adapted to rotate a mixing blade (17) and carries a cooling body (20) inside the container (12).

Description

DESCRIPTION
The present invention refers to an ice-cream maker, in particular of the type used in the home- As is known, ice-cream is usually prepared by slowly mixing and progressively cooling down a suitable mix of solid and liquid raw materials so that, whilst the mixture cools down, air becomes trapped inside thus increasing the volume by between 20 and 100% in respect to the initial volume, in variable timespans and usually between 20 and 45 minutes- Traditional ice-cream makers which carry out such a process comprise a container, equipped with an air space in which there is a coolant adapted to retain the cold.
The container is realised in a material which is suitable to come into contact with foodstuffs and presents good thermal conductivity, to transmit the cold to the mixture.
Moreover, the container is usually supported by a casing, and is closed above by a lid fitted with an opening through which the mixture to be treated can be introduced.
The lid has a motor connected to a mixing blade inserted into the container.
Traditional ice-cream makers of the type described are used with a preliminary cooling of the container, for example placing it in a freezer or a refrigerator.
When the ice-cream maker is used, the container is taken out and attached to the ice-cream maker, into which the mixture is inserted and by starting the motor the ice-cream is made.
Nevertheless, using the ice-cream maker described it is not possible to prepare a number of different flavours of ice-cream in such a way that they can be savoured at the same time.
Indeed, after the container has been used to prepare one flavour of ice-cream and before being able to prepare more icecream, one has to put the container back into the freezer and wait for the coolant contained inside to refreeze.
This usually takes a few hours.
Alternatively one can have more containers to keep in the freezer so that, when the preparation of one flavour of icecream is completed, one can immediately begin the preparation of more ice-cream of a different flavour by replacing the container.
Nevertheless, the high cost of containers and their substantial encumbrance, incompatible with the usual dimensions of domestic freezers, greatly hinder this alternative.
The technical task of the present invention is, therefore, to eliminate the denounced technical drawbacks, realising an icecream maker which allows a variety of ice-creams, of the same or different flavours, to be prepared in quick succession.
In practice, using the ice-cream maker according to the invention, after the preparation of an ice-cream is complete, it is possible to immediately begin the preparation of another icecream without waiting for the coolant to refreeze.
Another purpose of the invention is to realise an ice-cream maker which is essentially cost-effective and which does not require large spaces inside the freezer for the cooling of its components.
The last but not least purpose of the invention is to realise an ice-cream maker which is essentially simple, safe and reliable.
The technical task and the purposes, according to the present invention, are achieved realising an ice-cream maker according to claim 1.
Other characteristics of the present invention are defined, moreover, in the successive claims.
Advantageously, the ice-cream maker according to the present invention allows excellent use of the cold accumulated, with a highly reduced dispersion of the heat to the outside of the container in which the mixing takes place.
Moreover, the accumulation of the cold for freezing the coolant contained in suitable cooling bodies, is very rapid and it is possible to freeze numerous cooling bodies without difficulty and taking up less space inside the freezer.
The ice-cream maker presents an overall reduced encumbrance, thanks to the reduced dimensions of the cooling bodies and to the reduced dimensions of the container, which does not have an air space for the coolant.
Further characteristics and advantages of an ice-cream maker according the present invention will become clearer from the following exemplifying and not limiting description, referring to the attached schematic drawings, in which:
- figure 1 shows an enlarged perspective view of an ice-cream maker according to the invention in a first embodiment; and
- figure 2 shows an enlarged perspective view of an ice-cream maker according to the invention in a second embodiment.
In figure 1 an ice-cream maker according to a first embodiment is shown, generally indicated with the reference number 11.
The ice-cream maker 11 comprises a container or receptacle 12 realised in a thermally insulating material, which can be closed from above through a lid 13.
The lid 13 presents a through-opening 14 through which a mixture with which the ice-cream is made is inserted inside the container 12.
The lid 13 carries, moreover, a motor (not shown) connected to a squared shaft 15, which protrudes from the lid 13 towards the inside of the container 12.
The shaft 15 inserts into a squared and hollow seat 16 of a mixing blade 17 which, in the example shown, is symmetrical with respect to a axis of symmetry corresponding with an axis of the shaft 15.
Moreover, the mixing blade 17 is also equipped with a protruding and faceted part 18, positioned in correspondence with seat 16 but on an opposite side to the mixing blade 17.
Both the seat 16 and the part 18 are realised in correspondence with the axis of symmetry of the blade 17
The faceted part 18 inserts into a seat 19, which is also faceted, positionned on an end wall of a cooling body 20.
The cooling body 20 comprises, in the example shown, an airtight cylindrical vessel containing a coolant for accumulating the cold, which extends along the length of the container 12.
Such a vessel is also equipped with dispersion fins, which project from its internal surface towards its centre (detail not shown) .
Such fins constitute cold dispensors.
In correspondence with a second wall and lined up with the seat 19, the body 20 carries a protrusion 21, which works in association with a corrisponding seat 22 positioned on a plate 23 which can be fixed in correspondence with the base of the container 12.
The plate 23 is indeed equipped with two protruding pins which insert into dead holes positioned on the base of the container 12.
The protrusion 21 together with the seat 22 constitute means of rotational drive of the cooling body 20.
The plate 23 also carries a fixed removal plate 24 connected to the seat 24.
In the example shown the blade 15, the seats 16, 19, 22, the part 18 and the protrusion 21 are all mutually aligned.
The operation of the ice-cream maker according to the invention ■ in its first embodiment is fundamentally the following.
The liquid in the cooling body is previously cooled down and frozen in a freezer or refrigerator.
When the ice-cream maker 11 needs to be used the body 20 is affixed in the container 12, the blade 17 is affixed and the container is closed with the lid 13.
The ice-cream maker 11 starts up, rotating the blade 17 and the body 20, and a mixture to be treated is inserted into the container through the opening 14.
The rotational movement of the cooling body 20 about its own axis, combined with the action of the blades 17, 24, causes the progressive cooling of the mixture and the formation of the icecream.
The liquid contained within the body 20, exposed to the action of centrifugal force and of the dispersion fins, is able to transfer ever further refrigeration units to the mixture.
Moreover, the position of the body 20 inside the thermally isolated container 12 permits the cooling of the mixture with a very modest transfer of heat to the surroundings, optimizing the use of accumulated refrigeration units and/or making the realisation of cooling bodies 20 of reduced dimensions possible.
When the preparation of the ice-cream is completed it is possible to wash the container 12 and the blades 17, 24, and, by attaching a new body 20 to the ice-cream maker 11, to proceed to the preparation of another ice-cream.
In figure 2 a second embodiment of the ice-cream maker 11 according to the invention is shown, where the same or similar elements are indicated with the same reference numbers.
The ice-cream maker 11 shown in figure 2 comprises a base 25 which supports a motor (not shown), which makes the -three squared blades 15 rotate.
The base 25 also supports three containers 12 which, in the example shown, are realised in a single piece.
The base of each container 12 presents a through-hole (detail not shown) allowing the insertion of the mixing blades 15 inside the containers 12.
Each shaft 15 inserts into one of the seats 16 of the mixing blades 17.
Each blade 17 also presents the part 18 w ich locks into the corresponding seat of each body 20.
Each body 20 is also equipped with protrusions 21 which insert into seat 22, so as to separate the rotational drive means .
The seats 22 are attached to the three lids 13, which are all realised in a single piece.
Each lid presents an opening 14.
The containers 12 also support three blades 24, realised in a single piece and each of which is inserted in one of the containers 12.
The operation of the ice-cream maker according to the invention in the second embodiment is fundamentally the following.
The frozen bodies 20 are attached to the ice-cream maker 11 each of which in one of the containers 12.
Then, when the ice-cream maker 11 starts up, the motor makes the removal plates 17 rotate via the blades 15 and, introducing the mixture into the containers 12, three flavours of ice-cream can be produced simultaniously.
In such a "multiflavour" embodiment the ice-cream maker can also be equipped with more motors, each of which makes one shaft 15 or a group of shafts 15 rotate.
Adjustments and variations, besides those already mentionned, are of course possible, thus, for example the cooling body 20 can be spherical, oviod, conical, prismic, etc.
Moreover, the fixed removal plate 24 can also be fixed to an internal face of the lid 13 or to an inner wall of the container 12.
In other embodiments of the ice-cream maker according to the present invention, the motor can be housed differently both on the lid and under the receptacle.
Moreover, in a different embodiment, the cooling body comprises an airtight cylindrical container which contains the coolant and presents inside it a plurality of circular disks; the circular disks have an axis which fundamentally coincides with that of the airtight vessel.
Preferably the disks present one or more holes to allow the passage of the coolant and, moreover, present one or more specers to maintain the correct distance between the same disks.
In practice it has been noted how the ice-cream maker according to the invention proves particularly advantageous because it allows very compact and cost-effective cooling bodies to be realised. Moreover, with the ice-cream maker according to the invention, it is possible to realise many containers in a single body which is detachable from the base.
This ice-cream maker, although permitting the preparation of many flavours simultaneously, is cost-effective, allows a lot of liberty in the forms to be used and can be cleaned quickly and simply.
The ice-cream maker thus conceived is susceptible to numerous adjustments and variations, all within the gambit of the invention; moreover all the details are exchangeable with technically equivalent elements.
In practice the materials used, as well as the dimensions, are limitless according to the technical requirements.
