Patent number: 7386995Abstract: A device for producing a solidified block of carbon dioxide includes first and second housing portions removably connectable together. The first and second housing portions form an interior molding chamber that is adapted to receive liquid carbon dioxide at a pressure where expansion of the liquid carbon dioxide occurs, resulting in a mixture of solidified and gaseous carbon dioxide. A pressure relief device includes a biasing member for biasing the first and second housing portions together. The biasing member permits relative movement between the first and second housing portions when internal pressure from the gaseous carbon dioxide exceeds a predetermined amount. With this arrangement, relative movement between first and second housing portions causes gaseous carbon dioxide to be released from the interior molding chamber to thereby reduce the internal pressure.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2005Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Bel-Art Products, Inc.Inventors: Francis Gomes, David Landsberger, Bruce Feller
