  • Patent number: 5743640
    Abstract: An ice cream twisting apparatus includes an elongated housing with a mixing chamber formed within the interior thereof. An inlet port extends through the top of the housing to the mixing chamber to provide soft serve ice cream to the mixing chamber. A blending rod is mounted for rotation in the mixing chamber and includes a central disk which divides injected ice cream into two separate mixing chambers. A passageway through the housing to each of the individual mixing chambers permits the introduction of a desired flavor into the ice cream. The blending rod then mixes the individual flavor with the ice cream and the separate mixing chamber. Outlet tubes extend from the individual mixing chambers to an outlet port to provide two separate flavors of ice cream at the outlet port.

  • Patent number: 5020698
    Abstract: An ice-cream ejector for ejecting ice-cream filled with solid ingredients into an edible cone from a cup having a lower outlet. The cup is supported on a sliding shelf. A piston is pressed downwardly into the cup by a hand lever to press the ice cream out. The piston is quickly removable from the ejector for cleaning. A flexible resilient header extends across the underside of the piston and is removable for cleaning. A disposable piston cover of wax paper clings to the piston header as the piston retracts. The piston has an inclined wall portion guiding the piston into alignment with the cup during piston entry. Visibility of the outlet during cone-filling is increased by a notch in the shelf and by having the cup outlet below the shelf.
