a sharpened edge 4, the upper end of the
holder being provided with a projecting
handle 5 of any desired character. Mount-
ed interiorly of the holder is an ejector 6
6 which in the form now described, is a ring f
metal shiftable up and down within te
holder 2 and which is adapted to receive
the ice cream cone when lowered into the
holder. For the purpose of shifting this
10 cone we slot the holder as at 7 and provide
the ejecting ring 6 with an outwardly pro-
jecting pin 7a movable in this slot. The op-
eration of this device will be obvious. The
edible cone A is dropped into the holder,
15 the holder having such dimensions relative
to the cone that when the cone is dropped
in place the edge of the holder will project
beyond the edge of the cone. The holder
and cone are then inserted into the ice cream,
20 and the cone is filled. After being filled the
surplus ice cream is struck from the top of
the holder by any desired rpeans. Then by
pushing upward on the pin 7a the ejecting
ring is raised, raising with it the cone A
25 until it projects above the edge of the holder,
whereupon it may be grasped by the fingers
and easily withdrawn. This is an extremely
simple form of our device- and though it is
effective in use it is not as effective as those
30 forms which will be later described.
The principle of our invention having
been illustrated by the simple device shown
in Fig. 8, reference will now be made to the
preferable construction shown in Figs. 1, 2
35 and 7. In these figures 8 designates the
holder of sheet metal also conical in shape
for reasons before given, the cone of the
holder, however, being frustrated. The
holder is formed at its upper end with a
40 sharpened edge 9 as above described and
has projecting from one side thereof the
handle 10 which is attached to the middle of
the holder in any desired manner. This
handle at its extremity may be made with
45 a hook 11 and with an eye 12 whereby the
device may be easily suspended. Mounted
iuteriorly of the holder 8, is the ejector 13
which in this instance is in the form of a
conical cup, the extremity of which projects
50 through the frustrated end of the holder 8
as shown in Fig. 2. When in place within
the holder the upper edge of this cone is be-
low the upper edge of the holder and this
upper edge of the ejector is preferably sharp-
55 ened so that it will gradually merge into the
wall of the .holder, and thus not leave any
projecting portions which will be liable to
gather cream. The cone A of pastry is
adapted to. be placed within this conical
60 ejecting cup as shown in Fig. 2, the upper
end of the cone being slightly below the up-
per edge of the holder 8. It being distinctly
understood that the edge of the holder may
project any desired distance above the edge
65 of the pastry cone so as to give as large oras small a head of cream as is desired on the
filled pastry cone. As a means for moving
the ejector out of the holder so as to raise
the cone therefrom, we slot the side of the
holder as at 14 and provide the ejecting cup 70
with a pin 15 which extends out through this
slot. This pin forms a stop limiting the
upward movement of the ejecting cup and it
may also form and preferably does form
the means whereby the ejecting cup may 75
be raised out of the holder, though it will
be obvious that the cup might be raised from
the holder by pushing against the lower end
13a of the cup.
It is of course desirable that the ejector so
should be capable of being disassembled
from the holder so that the parts may be
easily and perfectly cleaned and yet to so
construct the device that the holder and
ejector are normally prevented from becom- 85
ing accidentally disassembled. These ends
are attained by the use of a screw pin 16
which extends down through the upper end
of the holder, preferably through the base
of the handle as shown in Fig. 1, and is so 90
arranged as to contact with the pin 15 when
the pin is raised, thus preventing any fur-
ther motion of the holder to such an extent
as would permit the ejecting cup and the
pin 15 to be removed from engagement with 95
the holder. By removing this screw pin 16.
however, the ejecting cup may be raised to
the full extent of the slot 14 and then the.
ejector moved laterally to withdraw the pin
15 from the slot. In its normal position the 100
distance between the pin 15 and the end of
the pin 16 should be the same as the distance
between the end 13a of the cup 13 and the
end 8a of the holder 8. Thus the device as
a whole may be set upon a table, but the 105
ejector will be moved so as to clear the bot-
tom edge of the holder. The screw pin 16
should be of sufficient size to withstand the
strain of the pin 15 knocking up against the
end thereof. The screw 16 should be .be 110
counter-sunk in the handle and have a nick
in the top whereby it may be' withdrawn.
It need only be screw-threaded for a short
distance. The extreme lower end of the
screw-pin 16 might be enlarged or otherwise 115
formed so that the .screw could not be en-
tirely withdrawn and thus lost. It will be
seen that this pin 16 in conjunction with
pin 15 forms a stop for the ejector and has
the same function as the ejector stop previ- 120
ously referred to.
In Figs. 3 and 5 are shown two other
forms of stop. These are both of them at-
tached to the bottom end of the cup 13 and
form enlargements or flanges on the bottom 125
of the cup of greater diameter than the
opening at the bottom end 8a of the exterior
holder 8. These flanges may be formed in
any suitable manner, but we have shown the
cup 13 as provided with a stud 17 screw- 330S
