Abstract: A method of making stick-supported products, particularly ice creams, having undercut or recessed zones formed thereon, the method utilizing a mold (1) which has at least one internal raised thread (2) and one recessed thread (3) and which enables the product to be drawn out of the mold by merely exerting an axially directed pull upon the product-supporting stick (5) followed by a natural rotational movement of the stick in a direction of said threads.

Abstract: A machine for making ice creams, in particular ice creams of the stick-supported type, comprising a freezing tank through which parallel arranged rows of molds are made to progress intermittently under control of a pull chain, dosing, stick-inserting and product-lifting-up units. The pull chain is designed to be moved by an at least double step. The freezing tank is conveniently elongated in shaped, and the different units have double elements whereby a double productivity of the machine can be obtained, with the number of advances per minute being equal.
