摘要

Improvements in the mechanisms for demolding ice blocks, characterized in that a dislocating portioning device composed of a succession of transverse blades connected at the center by means of a fixed longitudinal partition and by a movable upper strip, is applied in a rectangular metal cuvette, the latter elements passing through the vanes through slots for the purpose, in which the partition and the strip have notches for free articulation of the vanes, so that while that partition serves as support and guide for the vanes, the terminal strip it determines in these an anteroposterior tilts, being exercised such movements by means of a lever articulated at one end of the strip, with intercalation of a set of connecting rods, whose lever, when operated in one or the other direction, causes the displacement of the strip and, therefore, the consequent tilting of the blades, all in a manner that, when the lever is in one of its extreme positions, the liquid to be frozen is poured into the bucket, obtained which inverts the position of the lever, with which the release of the portions of ice with respect to the walls of the lever is caused. the bucket and the breaking of the ice sheets formed in the slits of the blades.
