  • Patent number: 5505336
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a frozen product utilizes a collapsible container which is prefilled with the product. The container is removably inserted within a housing defining a thermally insulated chamber and having a refrigeration system for cooling the chamber, and a pointed tubular member adapted to puncture the container when it is disposed in the chamber. To dispense the product, a powered member pushes upon the container toward the pointed tubular member to force the frozen product out through the opening and through the tubular member. A shut-off valve is coupled with the tubular member for selectively preventing the frozen product from being dispensed.
