BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a soft-serve ice cream dessert such as ice cream such as soft ice cream, whipped cream, mousse, bavarois, etc., which is housed in a container, particularly a subdivided container having plasticity. In the above, it is simply referred to as "frozen dessert".) For improving a frozen dessert supply device and a frozen dessert supply method for extruding the frozen dessert into a edible container such as a corn or a cup, and particularly for improving hygiene and operability. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a supermarket, a convenience store, or a store such as a frozen dessert store such as ice cream, frozen desserts are supplied and provided in edible containers such as cones and cups. Conventionally, as a device for supplying such frozen desserts, generally, as shown in FIG. 16, a tank type container 4 having a cooling mechanism such as a refrigerator and storing and storing frozen desserts to be supplied is provided. The freezer-type frozen dessert supply device 10 for exclusive use of the soft ice cream provided is used, and the frozen dessert supply device 10 shown in FIG. 16 supplies the frozen dessert to the eating container in accordance with each customer request.

However, in the freezer-type frozen dessert feeding device 10 shown in FIG. 16, since the cooling mechanism is provided in the frozen dessert feeding device 10 itself, the entire device becomes large and expensive, and efficiency is improved in terms of space and cost. There was a problem that could not be planned. In order to meet the demands of customers who desire various types of frozen desserts such as ice cream, the problem is that the container 4 is divided into a plurality of tanks 5 as shown in FIG. When a plurality of types of frozen desserts are stored in the container 5, it becomes more remarkable. On the other hand, if the container 4 is downsized in consideration of this point, there arises a problem that it is not possible to sufficiently meet the demands of various customers.

In view of such a point, as shown in FIG. 17, the frozen dessert supply device 10 itself is not provided with a cooling mechanism and separately stores the frozen dessert to be supplied in advance in the subdivision container 2 to set an appropriate temperature. A frozen dessert supply device 10 which is stored below, is placed in a frozen dessert supply device 10 when the subdivided container 2 storing the frozen dessert is supplied and pressed when the frozen dessert is supplied, and thereby the frozen dessert is extruded and supplied to a eating container, is proposed. Yes (actual fairness 7-1
9273, Jikken 7-19274, etc.).

A conventional frozen dessert supply apparatus 10 using such a subdivided container 2 generally places the subdivided container 2 containing the frozen dessert 1 on a horizontal table 6 as shown in FIG. While pressing the container 2 from above with a press hammer 26 or the like to push out the frozen dessert 1 from the extrusion port 2a formed in the subdivided container 2, a rotatable container holding base having a bottomed container holding hole 7a therebelow. 7, the edible container 3 such as a corn is held while being rotated, and the frozen dessert 1 is supplied to the edible container 3.

[0006]

However, in the conventional frozen dessert supply apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 17, as shown in FIG. 17, the eating container 3 in which the extrusion is completed and the frozen dessert is supplied is taken out. Then, the frozen dessert 1 remaining in the subdivision container 2 until the subdivision container 2 is removed from the horizontal table 6.
May melt and drip as liquid cream from the subdivision container 2 and collect on the bottom of the lower container holding hole 7a.

In this way, the container holding hole 7 of the container holding table 7
If the frozen dessert 1 is left in the container a while it is still drip, miscellaneous bacteria propagate in the container holding hole 7a, which causes a problem in hygiene. Particularly, in the container holding hole 7a shown in FIG. 17, the eating container 3 that may be eaten by the consumer.
Considering that it holds in direct contact with the bottom of the
It can be said that further consideration for hygiene is necessary.

In order to avoid this problem, the employee of the store or other workers must frequently clean the inner surface of the container holding hole 7a. As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 10 (A), since it has an inverted conical shape whose diameter becomes smaller toward the lower end in accordance with the shape of the eating container 3 such as a cone, cleaning is cumbersome and is not always the best. There was a problem that the bottom of the lower end could not be cleaned sufficiently. In particular, when the store or the like in which the frozen dessert supply device 10 is installed becomes extremely busy due to lack of manpower or the like, the cleaning method and the number of cleanings tend to be insufficient. It is desirable to reduce the frequency.

Further, the drops of the frozen dessert 1 are not only supplied to the frozen dessert 1 to which the frozen dessert 1 has been supplied, but also to the frozen dessert already supplied after the extrusion is completed and before the eating container 3 is removed. Even if it falls directly into the eating container, it causes problems such as breaking the shape of the properly packed frozen dessert and adhering it to the customer's hand. It should be noted that these problems also occur in the frozen dessert supply device 10 including the freezer-type container 4 shown in FIG. 16, in that the frozen dessert 1 may drip from the extrusion port 4a of the container 4, which may also occur. Is.

Further, in the frozen dessert supply device 10 shown in FIG. 17, as shown in FIG. 17, the horizontal table 6, the subdivided container 2 placed on the horizontal table 6, the press hammer 26, etc. are exposed. There is a possibility that dust or the like may enter the space where these are pushed out, which is also a sanitary problem. In particular, such a frozen dessert supply device 10 may be used outdoors, such as when opening a store on a food stall, but in that case, the possibility that dust may be mixed in is further increased. In addition, there is a problem that it is not always nice to put the process of supplying the frozen dessert, which is food, by the machine in the view of the main customers, such as children and women, in terms of appearance and mental resistance. .

As a result of the pressing member such as the press hammer 26 being exposed in this way, when the operator directly places the subdivision container 2 on the horizontal table 6 with his / her own hand,
There is a possibility that the press hammer 26 or the like may erroneously crush and crush an object other than the subdivision container 2 that should not be pressed.

In this case, even if only the press hammer 26 is covered, as long as the subdivision container 2 is directly inserted below the press hammer 26, it is necessary to provide an opening which is always open for the insertion. Yes, after all
There is no change in the possibility that dust or other foreign matter may enter through this opening. In addition, even when the press hammer 26 is covered when it is not in operation, this press hammer 2
Since 6 comes down to the vicinity of the exposed sub-container 2 during extrusion, there is a possibility that an object other than the sub-container 6 may be caught through this opening.

Further, in the prior art shown in FIG. 17, when the subdivision container 2 is placed on the horizontal table 6, the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 is correctly attached to the frozen dessert passage hole 6a formed on the horizontal table 6. As described above, it is necessary to properly install the subdivision container 2, but since the horizontal table 6 merely mounts and supports the subdivision container 2, the operator himself / herself must perform this adjustment work. However, the adjustment is troublesome, and there is a problem that the frozen dessert cannot be properly supplied if the installation place is wrong. Further, even if initially installed properly, there is a possibility that the frozen dessert cannot be properly supplied in the same manner due to the positional displacement gradually caused by the pressurizing state of the press hammer 26 and the like.

Regarding the feeding of the subdivision container 2 to the extrusion position, as shown in FIG. 18, it has a housing member 8 capable of holding the subdivision container 2 and is swingable under the base. There is also proposed a frozen dessert supply device 10 equipped with an arm 9 that can be attached to the front side and tilted forward from the pushing position (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 10-502251).

However, when the arm 9 is tilted toward the front in this way, there arises a problem that the space below the pushing position in the tilting direction becomes a dead space. That is, a jig or the like for holding the eating container 3 cannot be installed in the space into which the arm 9 advances, and the arm 9 must be removed unless the eating container 3 after feeding the frozen dessert is taken out. It cannot be tilted toward you. In other words, it is difficult or impossible to insert and remove the eating container 3 when the arm 9 is tilted toward the front, so that the subdivided container 2 and the eating container 3 are installed and taken out at the same time. There is a drawback that it is not possible to operate and the operability is low. Not only that, when the arm 9 is accidentally tilted toward the front while the eating container 3 is present, the tilted arm 9 comes into contact with the fed frozen dessert or the eating container 3 or the like, and these shapes There is a risk of destroying etc. Therefore, the operator needs to operate it carefully, and it is not always possible to secure sufficiently simple operability.

Further, since the accommodating member 8 formed on the arm 9 is formed in a constant shape as shown in FIG. 18, it is sufficiently compatible with the subdivided containers 2 having various sizes and shapes. There are also problems that cannot be solved. In particular, the subdivided container 2 having a diameter smaller than that of the housing member 8 cannot be sufficiently fixed and held, and the frozen dessert 1 may not be properly pushed out from the extrusion port. In addition, also in the frozen dessert supply device 10 shown in FIG. 18, the hygiene problem due to the drop of the frozen dessert 1 described above still occurs.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent contact between the frozen dessert drop and the eating container and prevent dust and dirt from entering the extrusion position to maintain hygiene. Another object of the present invention is to provide a frozen dessert supply device and a frozen dessert supply method capable of improving operability by facilitating cleaning and proper supply / arrangement work to the extrusion position of the subdivision container.

[0018]

Provided is a frozen dessert supply device which moves with pliers and is positioned below an extrusion port of a subdivision container held by a frozen dessert supplier to receive drops of frozen dessert.

As described above, when a shutter means such as a drip stop pan is provided to receive the frozen dessert by advancing to the extrusion port of the container, the shutter means causes the drop of the frozen dessert to drop from the extrusion port of the container. However, since it can be blocked from reaching the lower food container holder, the frozen dessert after direct extrusion and reaching the food container, contact between the frozen dessert drops and the food container is prevented, and hygiene is improved. Can be held. Also, the drops of frozen dessert attached to this shutter means
Compared with the case where the food is attached to the bottom of the inverted conical eating container holder, it can be easily removed by wiping or the like, so that the cleaning operation is facilitated and the operability is improved .

In this way, if a frozen dessert supplier capable of holding a subdivided container storing frozen desserts and capable of advancing and retracting by horizontal movement with respect to the extrusion position of the frozen dessert is inserted into the frozen dessert supplier and held. This makes it possible to easily and reliably supply the subdivision container to the extrusion position simply by storing it in the frozen dessert supplier and moving it horizontally. Since the subdivision container can be easily positioned and held at an appropriate position without doing so, the frozen dessert can be appropriately pushed out.

Further, since the subdivided containers can be stored in and taken out from the frozen dessert supplier at the position retracted from the pushing position, the worker can install and remove the subdivided containers without directly accessing the pushing position. You can
Operability and safety are improved. Furthermore, since this frozen dessert supplier moves horizontally, it does not hinder the extraction of the frozen dessert container with the frozen dessert below the extrusion position from the eating container holder, so it is necessary to treat it more carefully than necessary. In addition, it is possible to take out the subdivided container after extrusion and take out the eating container in which the frozen dessert is completely supplied at the same time, and it is possible to secure sufficient operability.

In this way, when the shutter means is provided below the frozen dessert supplier at the position where the frozen dessert supplier is evacuated, the frozen dessert supplier when the subdivided container is installed in the frozen dessert supplier and when the subdivided container is taken out from the frozen dessert supplier. While holding the subdivision container, it can catch the drop of frozen dessert that has fallen from the subdivision container held by this frozen dessert supplier and prevents the frozen dessert from adhering to the floor surface etc. where the frozen dessert supply device is installed. Thus, hygiene can be maintained.

As described above, when the frozen dessert supplier and the shutter means are used in combination, hygiene can be more surely improved by the synergistic action of preventing contact between the frozen dessert drop and the eating container and preventing dust. The proper installation and removal of the subdivision container can be performed, and the operability and safety can be improved. In particular, in this case, the movements of the frozen dessert supplier and the shutter means can be mechanically or electrically linked to each other, and the automation facilitates the control and further improves the operability.

As a third means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides the frozen dessert supplier by moving horizontally with respect to the extrusion position of the frozen dessert in the first or second solving means. A container support member freely provided, which can position and hold a subdivision container containing a frozen dessert, and a frozen dessert extruded from an extrusion port of the subdivision container can pass through. The present invention provides a frozen dessert supply device characterized in that a possible frozen dessert passage hole is formed.

The third means for solving this problem is, as a frozen dessert supplier, specifically, a container support member for supporting a subdivided container in which frozen desserts are stored and having an extrusion port for the frozen dessert at an extrusion position, that is, this In addition to the function of supporting the subdivision container at the original extrusion position to the container support member, by adding the function of advancing and retracting by horizontal movement with respect to the extrusion position, it will be a frozen dessert supplier that holds the subdivision container movably. is there.

As a fourth means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides any one of the first to third solving means, wherein the frozen dessert supplier moves forward and backward by moving horizontally to the extrusion position of the frozen dessert. This frozen dessert supplier consists of a container support member that is freely provided and a cover member that is integrally formed with this container support member and that can cover the subdivision container at the extrusion position. A frozen dessert passage hole through which the frozen dessert extruded from is formed, and when the subdivision container containing the frozen dessert is installed at the extrusion position, the subdivision container is brought into contact with the extrusion port of the subdivision container and the frozen dessert passage hole. Position and the frozen dessert supplier can be retracted and opened horizontally by moving horizontally from the extrusion position to place the frozen dessert container in the extrusion position. When pushing out the frozen dessert stored in the subdivided container, the subdivided container and the pressing member are fed to the extrusion position by advancing to the extrusion position so as to close the extrusion position by moving horizontally while holding the subdivided container. After the extrusion of the frozen dessert is completed, a small dessert container stored in the frozen dessert supplier can be horizontally moved again to retreat from the extrusion position and open to provide a frozen dessert supply device. It is a thing.

As described above, when a cover member that can cover the subdivision container and the pressing member by moving horizontally when the frozen dessert is extruded is provided, the extruding position can be protected from dust, so that hygiene can be maintained and the pressing member can be kept. As a result, it is possible to prevent an object that should not be pressurized from entering the extruding position and being pinched, so that it is possible to enhance safety. In particular, since this cover member can expose the extrusion position at the time of removal when the subdivision container is installed at the extrusion position, the cover member can be installed smoothly at the extrusion position of the subdivision container and can be removed smoothly. In addition to being able to perform the above work, it does not hinder the installation and removal work of the eating container below due to the horizontal movement, and the operability is enhanced. In addition, since it can be closed when not needed, hygiene and safety due to dust prevention can be further improved.

As described above, when the cover member and the shutter means are used together, hygiene can be more surely improved by the synergistic action of preventing contact between the frozen dessert drops and the eating container and preventing dust. The safety can be improved. In particular, in this case, the movements of the cover member and the shutter means can be mechanically or electrically interlocked with each other, which facilitates control by automation and further improves operability.

When the frozen dessert supplier is composed of the container supporting member and the cover member as described above, the subdivided container and the pressing member at the extrusion position can be covered, so that hygiene and safety due to dust protection can be improved. Of course, at the same time, since the subdivision container can be positioned at an appropriate position and movably held, the subdivision container can be easily and surely positioned at an appropriate position and supplied to the extrusion position. Since it is easy to take out each container, operability can be sufficiently improved.

And so on. Of course, in any shape, the horizontal movement method is not particularly limited to rocking, sliding, or the like.

The frozen dessert feeder 10 of the present invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, shutter means 42 is further provided below the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 so as to be capable of advancing and retracting and receiving drops of the frozen dessert 1.

The shutter means 42 is specifically
In the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the edible container 3 and the edible container 3 held below the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 and the frozen dessert supplier 32 and held by the edible container holder 28 are provided. Frozen dessert 1 served in a container 3 for eating
Above the uppermost end, that is, between the frozen dessert supplier 32 and the frozen dessert 1 to be served.

The drip tray pan 44 is preferably
As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 8, the height position near the frozen dessert supplier 32, more specifically, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, the pressure receiving member 36 such as the disk 36A is provided.
In the case of providing the disk 36 with the frozen dessert supplier 32, the disk 36, which is the pressure receiving member 36, is located immediately below the pressure receiving member 36 when the push-out position A is reached.
It is desirable to place them at intervals of the thickness of. As described above, when the pressure receiving member 36 is not provided, the pressure receiving member 36 may be provided immediately below the frozen dessert supplier 32.

The drip tray pan 44 is shown in FIGS.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, similarly to the frozen dessert supplier 32, the front frame 20 is pivotally attached to the front frame 20 so as to move forward and backward with respect to the pushing position A as shown by an arrow B in FIG. be able to.

Therefore, as the drip-stopping tray 44 advances toward the extrusion position A, as shown in FIG. 7, from the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 to the frozen dessert passage holes 34a, 36.
It is possible to catch drops of the frozen dessert 1 that has passed through a and fall, and block further drops. For this reason, the tray 44 serving as the shutter means 42 as the drip stop prevents the drops of the frozen dessert 1 from reaching the stacked frozen dessert 1, the eating container 3, and the lower eating container holder 28. As a result, it is possible to prevent the drop of the frozen dessert 1 from contacting the frozen dessert 1 placed on the eating container 3 and maintain hygiene.

In this case, since the drops of the frozen dessert 1 drop from the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2, it is desirable to advance below the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 except when the frozen dessert 1 is extruded. .

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the shutter means 42, which is a drip-stopper pan 44, opens the frozen dessert supplier 32, and the frozen dessert supplier 32 is opened.
When the subdivided container 2 storing the frozen dessert 1 is held in the container, it is retracted from the extrusion position A together with the frozen dessert supplier 32 and is located below the extrusion port 2a of the subdivided container 2 held by the frozen dessert supplier 32.

Next, when the subdivision container 2 is supplied to the extrusion position A by the frozen dessert supplier 32 for extrusion, only the frozen dessert supplier 32 advances to the extrusion position A by horizontal movement, as shown in FIG. , Drip pan 44
Remains at the position retracted from the extrusion position A as it is so as to relatively retract from the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6, by performing the extrusion supply of the frozen dessert 1, the shutter means 42 allows the frozen dessert 1 to be supplied from the extrusion port 2a of the subdivided container 2 to the eating container 3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the frozen dessert 1 is completely extruded, in order to prevent the droplets of the frozen dessert 1 from dropping out from the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2, the drip-stop tray 4 is provided.
4 immediately advances below the extrusion port of the subdivision container 2 at the extrusion position A to receive the drops of the frozen dessert 1.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 8, until the frozen dessert supplier 32 is withdrawn from the extrusion position A and the subdivided container 2 is taken out from the frozen dessert supplier 32, the frozen dessert supplier 32 is interlocked with the frozen dessert supplier 32. It moves and is located below the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 held by the frozen dessert supplier 32 and receives the drops of the frozen dessert 1.

In particular, since the frozen dessert 1 is most likely to drip from the subdivision container 2 after the extrusion is completed and before the subdivision container 2 is removed, the shutter means 42 is thus set at least at least during this period. By advancing and arranging below the extrusion port 2a of 2, the drop of the frozen dessert 1 can be effectively received and shielded.

The shutter means 42 can repeat the above operation to receive the drops of the frozen dessert 1 and to prevent the drops from falling down. However, the operation of the shutter means
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and at least the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 is opened at the time of extrusion, while the extrusion port of the subdivision container 2 is opened after the completion of extrusion until the subdivision container 2 is taken out. Other forms can be adopted as long as they can advance to 2a and receive the drop of frozen dessert 1. That is, in the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIG.
After the subdivision container 2 is stored in the frozen dessert supplier 32 and then moved to the extrusion position by the frozen dessert supplier 32,
Although the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 is opened separately from the frozen dessert supplier 32, unlike this, after the subdivision container 2 is stored in the frozen dessert supplier 32, the frozen dessert supplier 3
Even when moving to the extrusion position by 2, the extrusion port 2 of the subdivided container 2 to the extrusion position A is interlocked with the frozen dessert supplier 32.
Before the extrusion operation, the shutter means 42, which is a tray 44 for stopping drip, is retracted to the original position, and the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 is opened. You can also

In addition, with these frozen dessert suppliers 32,
The operation of the shutter means 42 with the drip stop pan 44 may be manually performed by an operator, but the frozen dessert supplier 32 and the drip stop pan 44 are mechanically linked or electrically. By controlling, the interlocking and separation can be automatically performed. This automation facilitates the control of the frozen dessert supply device 10, and further improves the operability, while at the same time ensuring hygiene.

In this case, when the subdivision container 2 is arranged at the extrusion position A so that the drip-stopper pan 44 which is the shutter means 42 can surely receive the drop of the frozen dessert 1, At any time when it is held by the frozen dessert supplier 32 and retracted from the extrusion position A, it is arranged so as to be appropriately positioned below the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2. Further, if the drop of the frozen dessert 1 can be reliably received in this manner, the shape and size of the drip stop pan 44 is not particularly limited.

Further, when the shutter means 42 is a drip-stopping tray 44, particularly a flat plate-like tray 44 as in the illustrated embodiment, compared to the case of cleaning the inside of a conical groove, etc. Since the work of wiping and removing the frozen dessert 1 received by the drip tray tray 44 is much easier and more reliable, cleaning is easier and, in particular, the operator does not need to take unnecessary time and labor, and the operability is improved. In addition, as a result, the frozen dessert supply device 10 can be kept clean at all times, and hygiene can be improved.

The tray 44 serving as the shutter means 42 is not limited to the flat plate shape shown in the drawing as long as the frozen dessert 1 can be easily wiped off, and may be a curved plate shape that is slightly curved. it can. Further, the shutter means 42 is not necessarily limited to this drip-stopping tray 44, and may be in any other suitable form as long as it can receive a drop of frozen dessert from the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2. it can. For example, as shown in FIG.
A circular shutter 4 that is supported by the frozen dessert supplier 32 and that includes a plurality of shield plates 46a that open and close in a circular shape.
6 or the like can also be used. This circular shutter 46
Also, by opening only when the frozen dessert 1 is extruded and closing the others, the frozen dessert 1 can be moved forward and backward below the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2 to reliably receive the drops of the frozen dessert 1 and prevent the drop thereof. . Further, in addition, as shown in FIG. 13, when the frozen dessert supplier 32 is horizontally moved by sliding, for example, a form such as an opening / closing door including two opening / closing plates can be adopted.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the shutter means 42 can be moved forward and backward to the extrusion port 2a of the subdivision container 2, but when the frozen dessert supplier 32 is used, the shutter means 42 which can be moved in this way. Instead, at a position where the frozen dessert supplier 32 is retracted from the extrusion position A, a shutter means 42 such as a drip-stop tray 44 is fixedly installed below the frozen dessert supplier 32.
It is also possible to receive the drops of the frozen dessert 1 that have dripped from the extrusion port 2a of the subdivided container 2 held by.

Also by this, the frozen dessert supplier 32 at the time of installing the subdivision container 2 to the frozen dessert supplier 32 and at the time of taking out the subdivision container 2 from the frozen dessert supplier 32, etc.
While holding the subdivided container 2, the frozen dessert supplier 32 can receive drops of the frozen dessert 1 dropped from the subdivided container 2, and the frozen dessert 1 can be placed on the floor or the like where the frozen dessert supply device 10 is installed. Can be prevented from adhering to maintain hygiene.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the shutter means is provided as described above, a drop of frozen dessert that has fallen from the extrusion port of the container by this shutter means is placed below the container holder for eating and the like. Since it can be blocked from reaching the frozen dessert and the eating container after the direct extrusion, contact between the frozen dessert and the eating container can be prevented, and hygiene can be maintained.

Further, since the frozen dessert droplets attached to the shutter means can be easily removed by wiping or the like as compared with the case where the droplets of the frozen dessert attached to the bottom portion of the inverted conical eating container holder, cleaning work is also possible. There is a real benefit that it becomes easier and the operability is improved.

In particular, since a drop of frozen dessert drips from the extrusion port of the subdivided container in which the frozen dessert is stored, as described above, after the shutter means is completely pushed out until the subdivided container is taken out from the extrusion position. By advancing below the extrusion port of the subdivision container, there is a practical advantage that the drop of the frozen dessert can be reliably shielded.

According to the present invention, as described above, when the frozen dessert is extruded, the cover member that can horizontally move to cover the subdivision container and the pressing member is provided. Since it is possible to hold the object and prevent the object which should not be pressed by the pressing member from entering the extruding position and being pinched, the safety can be improved.

In particular, since the cover member can expose the extrusion position at the time of installation and removal at the extrusion position of the subdivision container, it does not hinder the installation and removal work of the subdivision container at the extrusion position. These operations can be performed smoothly, and since they move horizontally, they do not hinder the installation and removal work of the eating container below, and the operability is enhanced. In addition, since it can be closed when it is not needed, there is a merit that hygiene and safety due to dust prevention can be further improved.

According to the present invention, as described above, since the cover member and the shutter means are used together, the synergistic action of preventing the contact between the frozen dessert drops and the eating container and preventing dust from being more reliable. There is a real benefit that can improve hygiene and safety at the same time.

In particular, in this case, the movements of the cover member and the shutter means can be mechanically or electrically interlocked with each other, and the automation facilitates the control, and the operability can be further improved.

According to the present invention, as described above, since the subdivided container that holds the frozen dessert can be held and the frozen dessert supplier that can move back and forth by moving horizontally to the extrusion position of the frozen dessert is provided, the subdivided container is By inserting and holding the frozen dessert supplier in the frozen dessert supplier and moving it horizontally, it is possible to easily and reliably supply the subdivision container to the extrusion position. Hold it, so
The subdivided container can be easily positioned and held at an appropriate position without fine adjustment, and there is a practical advantage that the frozen dessert can be appropriately pushed out.

Further, according to the present invention, as described above, since the subdivided containers can be stored in and taken out from the frozen dessert supplier at the position retracted from the extrusion position, the operator does not have to directly access the extrusion position. It is possible to install and remove subdivided containers, which has the practical benefit of improving operability and safety.

Further, according to the present invention, as described above, since the frozen dessert supplier moves horizontally, there is an obstacle such as taking out the eating container with the frozen dessert below the extrusion position from the eating container holder. It is not necessary to treat it more carefully than necessary, and it is possible to take out the subdivided container after extrusion and the eating container after the frozen dessert is completely supplied at the same time, which ensures sufficient operability. There is a real benefit that can be secured.

According to the present invention, as described above, since the frozen dessert supplier is composed of the container supporting member and the cover member, it is possible to cover the subdivided container and the pressing member at the pushing position, so that hygiene by dust prevention is possible. The safety and safety can be improved, and at the same time, the subdivision container can be positioned at an appropriate position and movably held, so that the subdivision container can be easily and surely positioned at an appropriate position. Then, the container can be supplied to the extrusion position and the operation of taking out each container is facilitated, and the operability can be sufficiently improved.

According to the present invention, as described above, since the shutter means is provided below the frozen dessert supplier at the position where the frozen dessert supplier has evacuated, when installing the subdivided container to the frozen dessert supplier and from the frozen dessert supplier. When the frozen dessert supplier holds the subdivided container, such as when taking out the subdivided container, the frozen dessert supplier can catch drops of frozen dessert that have fallen from the subdivided container, and the floor surface where the frozen dessert supply device is installed. There is a real benefit of preventing frozen desserts from adhering to the above and maintaining hygiene.

According to the present invention, as described above, since the frozen dessert supplier and the movable shutter means are used together, the synergistic action of preventing the contact between the frozen dessert drops and the eating container and the dust-prevention is more effective. The hygiene can be more reliably improved, and at the same time, the subdivided containers can be properly installed and removed, and the operability and safety can be improved.

In particular, in this case, the movements of the frozen dessert supplier and the shutter means can be mechanically or electrically interlocked with each other, and the automation facilitates the control, and the operability can be further improved.

According to the present invention, as described above, since the frozen dessert supplier is provided with the position adjusting means for the subdivided containers, the subdivided containers of various sizes and shapes can be easily and properly positioned to the extrusion position. So we can supply
The workability and operability of supplying the subdivided containers to the extrusion position are improved, and at the same time, it can be applied to the supply of various types of frozen desserts stored in various subdivided containers. However, there is a real benefit of being able to respond easily and appropriately.
