  • Apparatus for forming an extruded frozen novelty with high inclusions from a mouldable material
    Patent number: 6726462
    Abstract: Forming a novelty (such as a sticked ice cream product) from a mouldable material which involves extruding the materials into a cavity temporarily provided with a bottom. Relative movement is thereafter caused so as to shear the cavity contained quantity of material from any such material remaining in the cavity filling nozzle prior to subsequent discharge of the moulded quantity from the cavity at a time when it no longer has a bottom.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2002
    Date of Patent: April 27, 2004
    Assignee: Tip Top Ice Cream Company Limited
    Inventors: John Vincent Tucker, Murray Roundtree Taylor, Selma Elizabeth Morcom, John Charles Martin

  • Frozen novelties and their manufacture
    Patent number: 6491958
    Abstract: An edible novelty including an edible core mounted on a stick at one end of the core. The core having another end opposite the one end and the core having an edible coverture layer. A layer of an edible viscous material covering the coverture layer of the core from the other end of the core to, at the most, adjacent the one end of the core. The material being viscous at ambient temperature and remaining substantially unfrozen at a temperature which maintains the core frozen and also at a temperature at which the novelty is eaten. The coverture layer providing an adhesive surface for the edible viscous material. An outer layer over the edible viscous material and at least substantially all of the coverture layer. The outer layer being anchored with respect to the coverture layer.
