Embodiment Construction

[0043] Reference is now made to the drawings, and in particular Figure 1 to Figure 4 An inventive cabinet 10 suitable for cooling and storage of frozen foods (especially frozen desserts such as ice cream) has a generally box-shaped base 12 having a top plate 14 that engages the top of the box and forms a cavity room. Figure 4 It is clearer that the top plate is made of materials that are easy to clean and durable, such as stainless steel, and Picture 11 An insulating material 54 may be included therein as shown in. The top plate keeps cold air in the cabinet cavity located below the top plate and keeps atmospheric moisture outside the cavity. The top plate is supported in the chamber base 12 by a horizontal support 26 connected to the side wall 28 of the base 12. The top plate is provided with a series of barrel receiving holes 16, or barrel holes 16, each hole being adapted to receive a barrel 22 of frozen food or dessert (preferably ice cream). Hereinafter, the frozen foo...

Abstract

An ice cream dipping cabinet which holds tubs of ice cream, is provided with individual tub receptacles, surrounded by cooling coils. The cabinet, which can be used for other foods, either frozen or cold, has a solid top plate which orients the individual tubs. This allows lower maintenance time and cost, helps keep moisture out and cold air in the enclosed bottom of the cabinet. The top plate has holes for the tubs, which limits the escape of cold air from the cabinet, improving energy efficiency, as well as improving the overall visual aesthetics of the cabinet, and the ease of access to the desired tub by the server. The invention also includes a locking device for preventing each tub from turning when being accessed in the proper serving position, and means for moving the tub upward for ease of removal. A clear cover has a slidable lid, which is slidable about an arc, and also pivotable upwardly for ease of removing and replacing the more remote tubs.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cabinet device for holding ice cream, sherbet, etc., for keeping the contents at a desired temperature, and for being prepared for entry by service personnel, especially in commercial retail facilities. Background technique [0002] Ice cream (or substances such as ice cream) is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products such as milk and cream, which usually incorporate fruits or other ingredients and flavorings. The mixture produced by the selected raw materials is slowly stirred when cooled to absorb air and prevent the formation of large ice crystals in the product. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is easy to scoop with a spoon. For commercial supply as ice cream cones or related products, ice cream products are poured into buckets and frozen to be shipped to commercial dealerships of ice cream. These dealerships or stores usually have cabinets that hold barrels that maintain the temperature of the ...
