PATENT OFFICE,
JAMES M. SKIPPER, OF GRANBURY, TEXAS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO
d JOHN W. HOLDEN,. OF SAME PLACE.
ICE-CREAM FREEZER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 517,492, dated April 3,1894.
Application filed August 22, 1893. Serial No. 483,733. (No model.)To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES M. SKIPPER, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Gran-
bury, in the county of Hood and State of
5 Texas, have invented a new and useful Ice-
Cream Freezer, of which the following is a
specification.
My invention relates to improvements in
ice-cream freezers; and the objects in view
zo are to provide a machine for effectually and
with slight labor freezing cream; to be so
constructed as to freeze the cream into sticks
of merchantable size and adapted for retail
trhde; and, furthermore, to provide for a si-
15 multaneous manufacture of ice, so that as the
cream is frozen water may be congealed form-
ing ice that may be subsequently employed
in the freezer or otherwise.
Various other objects and advantages of
20 the invention will appear in the following de-
scription and the novel features thereof will
be particularly pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings:-Figure 1 is a
perspective view of an ice-cream freezer em-
25 bodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar
view in detail of the agitator. Fig. 3 is a
transverse vertical section of the machine.
Fig: 4 is a transverse horizontal sectional view
through the entire apparatus. Fig. 5 is a de-
30 tail of one of the cream-tubes.
Like numerals of reference indicate like
parts in all the figures of the drawings.
In carrying out my invention I employ a
- cylindrical casing 1, which, in the present in-
35 stance,is designed to be stationarily mounted
upon a suitable base, as a bench or a push-
cart, when the freezer is employed by street
vendors. The casing has its upper end pro-
vided with a circular opening formed there-
40 in, its edges leaving the annular flange 2, and
a corresponding flange 3 is secured to the in-
ner surface of the wall of the casing near the
bottom thereof. These flanges 2 and 3 are at
intervals provided with vertically aligning
45 perforations 4, and the upper perforations are
provided with surrounding collars 5 in which
removable corks or stoppers 6 are inserted.
The bottom at its center is provided with a
vertical bearing-stud or pin 7, and in thepresent instance there is mounted rotatably 50
thereon a circular frame or disk 8, from the
center of which there rises a vertical shaft 9.
This disk 8 is an open disk, as shown, so as
to render it light and permit of a circula-
tion of the ice and water therethrough, and 55
is at intervals along its periphery or near
its rim provided with pairs of vertical stand-
ards 10, the same being X-shaped in cross-
section, and between each pair there is seated
a water receptacle or can 11, the same be- 6o
ing removable and held in vertical position.
An inner cylinder 12 is provided with a cen-
tral tubular bore 13 that fits over the shaft 9,
and said inner cylinder is secured to the un-
der side of the main circular cover 14 that 65
surmounts the outer casing. This cover 14
is provided with a depending annular flange
15 that fits in a double flange 16 with which
the top of the outer cylinder is provided, the
said double flange forming a water-seal in 70o
which the flange 15 of the cover 14 fits. The
cover is further provided at one side with a
rectangular opening 17, which is surrounded
by a double flange 18 forming a water-seal in
connection with a removable lid 19, the open- 75
ing 17 being of such size as to permit of the
upward withdrawal therethrough of the wa-
ter-cans 11 heretofore mentioned. The bot-
tom of the cylinder 12 is provided with a disk
20 which projects outward beyond the cylin- 80o
der, and above the same the cylinder is encir-
cled by a flange 21. The flange 21 is provided
with perforations 22 located at intervals there-
in and vertically aligning with corresponding
perforations 23 formed in the cover 14 and 85
from which depend cylindrical pipes 24. The
upper ends of these pipes are closed by corks
or other stoppers 25. The shaft 9 projects
upward through the tube 13 of the inner cyl-
inder, and may be provided with a crank 26 9C
or any other desired means for operating the
same. If desired the machine maybe mount-
ed upon a hand-cart and through ordinary
gearing with the hub or axle thereof, be ro-
tated. The inner and outer cylinders, it will 95
be seen, are, in the presentinstance, intended
to be stationary while the disk revolves, but
it will be obvious that the disk may be sta-
