Embodiment Construction

[0013] As used herein, “a” or “an” means one or more, unless otherwise indicated. The singular encompasses the plural and the plural encompasses the singular.

[0014] The inventors have found that a portable frozen alcoholic or nonalcoholic, ice or dairy drink dispensing apparatus can be manufactured that can make a large quantity of frozen drink in under five minutes and does not require continuous electrical power to maintain the frozen drink.

[0015] The present invention relates to a portable frozen alcoholic or nonalcoholic, ice or dairy drink dispensing apparatus that is easily maintained. The apparatus includes an electrically powered mechanical system to prepare and dispense the frozen drink and an insulated housing to maintain the frozen drink. The mechanical system can be either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) powered. Preferably, the apparatus includes a safety system to prevent the operation of the apparatus when the top is removed. The raw products used to...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a portable apparatus for the making and dispensing of frozen alcoholic or nonalcoholic, ice or dairy drinks and to methods for making and using the same.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 626,717, filed on Nov. 10, 2004.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to a portable apparatus for the making and dispensing of frozen alcoholic or nonalcoholic, ice or dairy drinks and to methods for making and using the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Although a number of frozen drink systems exist they suffer from a number of disadvantages. For example, they are either not portable, do not have a insulated housing, require continuous power, make small quantities, are difficult to maintain or require a relatively considerable amount of time (typically greater than five minutes) to prepare the frozen drink. [0004] Thus there is a need in the art for an improved portable frozen drink dispenser that is simple to operate, insulated and easily maintained. [0005] The present invention relates to a portable apparatus for making and dispensing frozen alcoholic or non alcoholic ice or...
