Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an ice shaver equipped with a stocker for quickly supplying shaved ice when there is a rush of customers at a entertainment venue or the like.

(Prior art) A stock container is fixedly configured by covering the space below the shaving machine of the ice shaving mechanism, so that snowflake-shaped ice shaved by the ice shaving mechanism can be stored in the stock container and continuously supplied. An ice shaver equipped with a stocker is known. Although this conventional ice shaver is convenient for supplying a large amount of shaved ice at once, it has the disadvantage that the shaved ice stored in the stock container will melt when customers are not busy.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention attempts to provide an ice shaver that can be equipped with a stocker or removed depending on the demand for shaved ice.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention relates to an ice shaver that aims to solve the problems mentioned in the previous section, and is used to store shaved ice shaved by an ice shaver mechanism driven by a motor. Bottomed box-shaped stocker 2 installed in the lower space of the ice shaver
1, a flat metal fitting 28 protruding rearward from the rear edge of the upper opening 22 and an inverted L-shaped metal fitting 29 protruding forward from the front edge of the opening 22 are attached to the lower surface of the top plate 3 in the lower space. , the metal fittings 2 protrude rearward.
8 is provided with an L-shaped latch 30 that engages from the rear lower part and a U-shaped latch 31 that protrudes forward and that locks the metal fitting 29 from the rear. The device is characterized in that the stocker 21 is attached to the stocker, the front part of the stocker 21 is lifted and moved rearward, the metal fitting 29 is removed from the latch fitting 31 to the rear, and the metal fitting 29 is taken out to the front.

A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described.

(Example) In the figure, 1 and 1 are upwardly U-shaped machine frames arranged on both the left and right sides, and the stays 2 are fixed to the lower parts of the left and right machine frames, and the top plate 3 is attached to the upper parts. Supports 4 are erected at the four corners of the top plate 3, the four corners of the table 5 are attached to the upper ends of each support 4, an upper cover 6 is placed on the table 5, and the lower and upper surfaces of the table 5 are used as the equipment space for the ice cutting mechanism. The lower surface of the top plate 3 is defined as a lower space 7.

A partition wall 8 is provided on one side between the top surface of the top plate 3 and the bottom surface of the table 5 to constitute a motor chamber 9, and a cutting disk 10 is provided with a slit 11 with a cutting blade facing in the center of the top plate 3. A holding screw rod 12 with an ice block holding plate 13 attached to the lower end is passed vertically from the table 5 to the upper cover 6 over the center of the disk 10, and is held down by the motor in the motor chamber 9. Threaded rod 1
A drive mechanism (not shown) is provided on the upper surface of the table 5 to rotate and send the presser screw rod 12 downward, and a manual handle 14 is provided to quickly return the presser screw rod 12 upward.

The above is an example of a generally known structure of an ice shaver.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a box-shaped stocker with a bottom made of synthetic resin that can be inserted into the lower space 7 on the lower surface of the top plate 3 from the front side or removed from the front side. An open upper opening 22 is provided on the front side, a lower edge is hinged on the front side with a hinge 24, a door 23 is provided which can be opened and closed with a puller 24a, and symmetrical step portions 25 are provided on the lower part of both side walls. A perforated stainless steel plate 26 supported by a stepped portion 25 is housed inside the stocker 21. 27 is a stopper for door 23, and door 2
When the door 3 is closed, it can be held by a stopper 27. For example, a magnet is attached to the door side, and the stopper 27 is made of a magnetic material.

The stocker 21 includes a flat metal fitting 28 that protrudes rearward from the rear edge of the upper opening 22 and
Attach an inverted L-shaped metal fitting 29 that protrudes forward from the front edge. Further, an L-shaped hook 3 is provided on the lower surface of the top plate 3 and protrudes rearward and engages with the metal fitting 28 from the rear and lower side.
0, and a U-shaped latch 31 on which the metal fitting 29 protrudes forward and stops.

(Function of the Invention) The present invention has the structure clarified by the explanation of the embodiments described above, and when the stocker 21 is installed in the lower space 7, the rear edge of the upper opening 22 of the stocker 21 is attached as shown in FIG. A flat plate-shaped metal fitting 28 that protrudes rearward from the top plate 3 is hung on the L-shaped hanging metal fitting 30 on the bottom surface of the top plate 3, and an inverted L-shaped metal fitting 29 that projects forward from the front edge of the upper opening 22 is hung on the bottom surface of the top plate 3. When the stocker 21 is removed from the lower space 7, the front part of the stocker 21 is lifted up and moved rearward as shown in Fig. 4. When the metal fitting 29 is removed from the rear of the latch fitting 31 and pulled forward, the metal fitting 2
8 comes off from the latch 30 and the lower space 7 is easily removed.
It can be taken out from

(Effect of the invention) The ice shaving machine of the present invention is removably equipped with a stocker 21 provided with an upper opening to receive the falling shaved ice in the lower space 7 provided in the lower part for dropping the shaved ice. When it is quiet, the falling shaved ice is directly caught in a container such as a cup and fed as before.
Since the stocker 21 can be attached to the lower space to store shaved ice only during busy times, there is no risk of storing shaved ice in the stocker and melting it during quiet times, unlike the conventional fixed type. Furthermore, since the stocker can be removed from the lower space 7 for complete cleaning, it is more sanitary than a conventional stocker equipped with a fixed stocker.

Further, a flat metal fitting 28 and an inverted L-shaped metal fitting 29 are attached to the rear edge and front edge of the upper opening 22 of the stocker 21, and an L-shaped metal fitting 28 that engages with the metal fitting 28 from the rear and lower side is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 3 in the lower space. A latch fitting 30 and a U-shaped latch fitting 31, which protrudes from the front and which locks the metal fitting 29 from behind, are provided, and the stocker 21 is mounted on the top plate 3 by engaging and latching them, and the front part of the stocker 21 is attached to the top plate 3. When lifted and moved rearward, the metal fitting 29 comes off to the rear of the latch fitting 31, so that the stocker 21 can be easily and reliably attached and removed.
