does not break off as it is being dispensed from the dispensing nozzle 22 the auger 30 and the blade 28 preferably rotate in response to rotation of a master gear and motor of a conventional type by transmission through various gears 31 an example of a portion of this assembly can be seen in fig9 the gearing system is preferably designed to have the auger 30 rotate faster than the blade 28 which produces optimum performance the auger 30 can also be fabricated to contain a significant number of auger turns so that the ice cream does not break off as it is being dispensed from the dispensing nozzle 22 in a preferred embodiment a paddle 33 is attached to the blade 28 as shown in fig9 11 this paddle 33 can be used break up the ice cream within the container 26 and in one embodiment is in the shape of an u201c l u201d however other shapes that accomplish the same objective are also contemplated the paddle 33 also rotates about the central axis of the container blade combination the paddle 33 can be made to operate at different speeds from the auger 30 and in opposite directions fig9 and 10 also show the spring loaded latches 35 that can be used to open and close the removable lid 24 the topping dispensers 36 38 40 shown in fig2 a are identical and thus reference is made to only one of them 36 for this description each of the.
