Abstract

Abstract A freezing container comprising an inner bowl for containing a product to be frozen, an outer bowl sealed and containing an expandable freezing agent and insulation around the outer bowl. The bottom wall of the outer bowl is relatively resilient so as to take up for expansion of the freezing agent and is spaced from the outer insulation layer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 186 words
A thermo-freezing container, in particular to be used in a machine for the production of frozen desserts, said machine including a motor-driven stirring member to be positioned in said container to perform a rotary movement therein, said container comprising an outer bowl; an inner bowl; and intermediate bowl between the outer bowl and the inner bowl and forming together with the inner bowl an uninterrupted closed cavity adapted to contain a freeze agent; a bowl-shaped insulation core positioned between the intermediate bowl and the outer bowl; the inner bowl being made more rigid than the intermediate bowl, so that the latter will take up any expansion of the freeze agent; the inner bowl being made of a heat conducting material and being firmly connected with the intermediate bowl, the outer bowl and the insulation core to form one unit assembly to be positioned in a freezer for freezing the freeze agent, the intermediate bowl being formed with a resilient bottom to confine deformation caused by expansion of the freeze agent to said bottom, the insulation core opposite said bottom being spaced apart from the intermediate bowl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 186 words
A thermo-freezing container, in particular to be used in a machine for the production of frozen desserts, said machine including a motor-driven stirring member to be positioned in said container to perform a rotary movement therein, said container comprising an outer bowl; an inner bowl; and intermediate bowl between the outer bowl and the inner bowl and forming together with the inner bowl an uninterrupted closed cavity adapted to contain a freeze agent; a bowl-shaped insulation core positioned between the intermediate bowl and the outer bowl; the inner bowl being made more rigid than the intermediate bowl, so that the latter will take up any expansion of the freeze agent; the inner bowl being made of a heat conducting material and being firmly connected with the intermediate bowl, the outer bowl and the insulation core to form one unit assembly to be positioned in a freezer for freezing the freeze agent, the intermediate bowl being formed with a resilient bottom to confine deformation caused by expansion of the freeze agent to said bottom, the insulation core opposite said bottom being spaced apart from the intermediate bowl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
A thermo-freezing container as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said bottom (11) is wave-shaped.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 40 words
A thermo-freezing container as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the bottom (24) of the inner bowl (2) is provided with a central depression (25) as a guide for a stirring member (17) rotatable in the inner bowl (2).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
A thermo-freezing container as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the inner bowl (2) forms a rim (8) at its top for support of a motor housing (12) for a stirring member (17).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
A thermo-freezing container as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that a handle (5) connected with the container is adapted to fasten said motor housing (12) to the container.
