An automatic coin-fed ice-lolly producing and dispensing machine comprises an ice-lolly mould in two parts (9A,9B) kept at a freezing temperature by a refrigeration plant; a controlled supply of pre-cooled syrups (from 17); and apparatus for separating the product from the mould by inducing one part
An automatic coin-fed ice-lolly producing and dispensing machine comprises an ice-lolly mould in two parts (9A,9B) kept at a freezing temperature by a refrigeration plant; a controlled supply of pre-cooled syrups (from 17); and apparatus for separating the product from the mould by inducing one part (9A) to move (f9) relative to the other (9B). The product then either drops out of the tilted mould, or is lifted by its stick (15).

1. An apparatus for producing moulded frozen confections and facilitating disengagement of the frozen confections therefrom, comprising: a first mould-defining member with a first substantially concave mould surface of predetermined dimensions, a second mould-defining member with a second substantially concave mould surface of predetermined dimensions, means for supporting said first and second mould-defining members in an adjacent relationship in a moulding position, at least one of said mould-defining members being movably supported, said first mould surface being in a facing relationship with said second mould surface in said moulding position, thereby defining a mould volume of predetermined dimensions wherein each portion of said first mould surface directly opposes a portion of said second mould surface, means for supplying a mouldable confection mix to said mould volume in said moulding position so that said confection mix is in contact with said first and second mould surfaces and assumes the shape of said mould volume in said moulding position, means for cooling said first and second mould defining members so that said confection mix freezes and retains the shape of said mould volume in said moulding position, forming a frozen confection of well-defined dimensions in contact with said mould surfaces, means for imparting a slight relative motion to said first and second mould-defining members mechanically coupled to said means for movably supporting at least one of said members, said support means, said surfaces and said means for imparting a relative motion to said mould-defining members being positioned, configured and dimensioned to cooperate so as to maintain said first and second mould surfaces in a facing relationship as said mould-defining members are relatively displaced from said moulding position during said relative motion and, upon displacement from said moulding position, to decrease the distance between at least a portion of said first mould surface and the portion of said second mould surface directly opposed thereto, whereby said frozen confection is subjected to a compressive mechanical stress which facilitates disengagement of said frozen confection from said mould surfaces. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said means for cooling said first and second mould-defining members are operative to continuously cool said mould-defining members throughout a production cycle so that the mould is continuously maintained at a low temperature. 3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said means for supplying said mouldable confection mix comprise means for supplying a liquid confection mix. 4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said means for supplying a liquid confection mix comprise a tank provided with stirring means. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of said mould-defining members further define at least one step on each of said mould surfaces. 6. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said mould-defining members are substantially planar about the peripheral portions of said concave mould surfaces and are substantially adjacently disposed about a coupling plane defined by said peripheral portions in said moulding position. 7. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising a compressible gasket disposed between said mould-defining members. 8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said means for imparting a slight relative motion to said mould-defining members are positioned, configured and dimensioned so that said relative motion of said mould-defining members is perpendicular to said coupling plane, thereby subjecting a moulded confection formed in said mould volume to a compressive stress. 9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein each of said mould-defining members includes means for receiving a cooling fluid and said mould surfaces have associated therewith cooling fins to enhance the cooling thereof. 10. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein each of said mould-defining members define at least one gripping portion integral with said mould surface and said means for imparting a slight relative motion to said mould-defining members are positioned, configured, and dimensioned so that said slight relative motion of said mould-defining members is a sliding relative motion in said coupling plane. 11. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said gripping portions comprise a plurality of gripping members protuding inwardly with respect to said mould volume, said gripping members cooperating to define distinct zones of said mould volume, the dimensions of said distinct zones of said mould volume being necessarily altered during said sliding relative motion of said mould-defining members in said coupling plane. 12. The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein each of said mould-defining members includes means for receiving a cooling fluid and said mould surfaces have associated therewith cooling fins to enhance the cooling thereof.
