Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for preparing and dispensing large quantities of frozen cream cocktails. The apparatus includes a remote mixing and storage chamber which contains a quantity of custard cream and liquor in preselected proportions. An agitator in the mixing chamber continuously mixes the ingredients which are conveyed by air pressure to a freezing chamber upon actuation of a dispensing valve. The cream-liquor mix is aerated by an air injector as the mix is conveyed to the freezing chamber.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
Apparatus for preparing and dispensing cream cocktails comprising a freezing chamber having an inlet and outlet and a beater rotatably supported within said chamber, a freezing coil surrounding said freezing chamber, a motor for driving said beater, refrigeration apparatus connected to said freezing coil, a mixing chamber for storing and mixing a custard cream-alcoholic mix-, a first conduit connecting said mixing chamber to said freezing chamber, a heating coil surrounding said conduit adjacent said freezing chamber, an air injector in said first conduit, a pressurized air source connected to said mixing chamber for aerating the mix, a second conduit connected to said air source and to said air injector, valve means in said second conduit, an electrical circuit including first, second and third relays, a dispensing valve on said freezing chamber, an electrical switch operable in response to movement of said dispensing valve to a dispensing position, circuit means electrically connecting said first, second and third relays so that upon opening of said dispensing valve said relays are actuated to cause said beater motor to be energized to dispense frozen mix and to energIze said refrigeration apparatus to cool said freezing chamber and open said air valve to cause injection of air into said first conduit from said air source and energize said heating coil on said first conduit.
