The present invention is a method for making frozen drinks from a frozen substance which has been frozen into a cup. According to the method of the present invention, a cup containing a frozen substance is positioned in a cup support located in a frozen drink machine. A rotatable blade having features for grinding the frozen substance and for aerating the ground frozen substance is lowered into the cup, grinding the frozen substance while a liquid is simultaneously introduced into the cup. In an...

A new and novel tray for storing and reheating frozen food. The base portion of the tray is formed in a one-piece construction having spaced apart hollow side walls and double thickness end walls both side and end walls being adhesively secured to the underside of the tray. Corner web-like folds positioned between inner panels of the side and end walls are held in place by securing flaps on the outer panels and are secured to the tray. The folding of the side walls and end walls in combination w...

A tray for the shipment of frozen items such as frozen pies which is stackable within a box with other identical trays so that each individual frozen item is prevented from contact with any other frozen item. The tray has a bottom from which four sides extend outwardly and upwardly. The sides comprise a longitudinal pair of sides and a lateral pair of sides. A plurality of projections extend upwardly along the center line between the longitudinal sides, and two rows of protuberances, one row loc...

Disclosed are suspensions of gas microbubbles immobilised within a frozen aqueous carrier liquid comprising usual additives and stabilisers, in which the carrier liquid is a physiologically acceptable, the immobilised gas microbubbles are microbubbles bound by an evanescent envelope or a tangible membrane. The suspensions, when in liquid form, are injectable and useful as a contrast agents in ultrasonic imaging of blood pool and tissue of living beings. The gas microbubbles are immobilised withi...

Vaccine delivery system wherein an aqueous vaccine diluted to human dosage concentration is loaded into presterilized single dosage syringes having a squeezable body portion and wherein a plurality of these syringes are sealed inside a bag and the contents of the syringes are frozen to preserve the titer of the vaccine.

A process for the production of a molded aerated frozen bar which comprises preparing a mix of ingredients suitable for a frozen aerated bar, whipping the mix to obtain an aerated mix having an overrun of from 100 to 250%, molding the aerated mix to give a molded aerated mix and freezing the molded aerated mix.

Frozen or chilled confectionery products, in particular ice-creams, with a unique taste performance comprising a fat-continuous or bicontinuous or duplex fat-emulsion comprising 5-50 wt % fat, 5-60 wt % water, 5-80 wt % thickener, sweetener and/or humectant, the emulsion being present as a coating layer, a barrier layer or as an inclusion.

A method for producing frozen confections such as ice cream, or the like, wherein liquid mix is delivered from a storage tank through a freezing chamber to a draw-off valve from which the frozen mix is dispensed to cones or cups. The method is characterized by a mix tank arrangement which utilizes disposable flexible bags removably confined within a rigid container which arrangement eliminates the necessity of returning mix tanks to the dairy for sterilization and refill. The method is further c...

The present invention discloses a novel lid for use in frozen dessert containers. A preferred configuration for the lid is a super-ellipse configuration. The invention allows for registered offset printing on the rim of the lid. The invention also allows for use of a single material for an entire frozen dessert container. The lid manufactured may be composed of fiber material with a polyethylene coating thereon. The lid allows for cost-effective fabrication of a frozen dessert container having a...

A first lever engages a first collar rotationally immobile about the body of a valve. A second lever interconnects the first collar with a second collar, which second collar is non-rotatably mounted upon the stem of the valve. Manual vertical manipulation of the levers toward one another is translated through the first and second levers and collars to apply a torque force upon the stem with respect to the valve body to open the valve.
