| 20100175390 | Machine For Producing Ice-Cream and the Like - A machine for producing ice-cream and the like provided with an outer boxlike housing and, within the boxlike housing, with a substantially cylindrical-shaped processing tub that extends into the boxlike housing, from the upper wall of the latter, while remaining coaxial to a substantially vertical reference axis; with cooling means adapted to cool the processing tub so as to bring and hold the content thereof at a temperature lower than 0° C.; and with a mixing member rotatably mounted within the processing tub about a rotation axis substantially coinciding with the reference axis of the tub; the mixing member being structured so as to mix the various ingredients that are poured into the processing tub, and so as to scrape at least the inner side surface of the processing tub to prevent the high viscosity mixture formed within the processing tub from stably adhering to the side wall of the tub; the machine for producing ice-cream and the like also comprising a containing collar which is dimensioned so as to be fitted in a stable, but easily releasable manner, in the processing tub, above the mixing member, and is structured so as to retain within the processing tub the high viscosity mixture that the mixing member tends to push upwards, along the side wall of the tub. | 07-15-2010 |
