Abstract
Described is a stirrer of a machine for making and dispensing ice cream products, the stirrer rotating about an axis inside a mixing and cooling cylinder and comprising: a body defining a plurality of helical scraping blades extending around the axis and acting on an inside wall of the mixing and cooling cylinder to be scraped; a shaft for rotating the stirrer about the axis of rotation; a plurality of scraping members, each designed to be coupled to a blade and equipped with elastic coupling means for the blade adapted to be elastically deformed in order to allow it to be coupled to the blade.

A stirrer of a machine for making and dispensing ice cream products, the stirrer being suitable for rotating about an axis inside a mixing and cooling cylinder of the machine, the stirrer comprising:
- a body defining a plurality of helical scraping blades extending around the axis and suitable for acting on an inside wall of the mixing and cooling cylinder to be scraped;
- a shaft for rotating the stirrer about the axis;
- a plurality of scraping members, each including an elastic coupler suitable for elastic deformation for coupling to one of the plurality of helical scraping blades;
- wherein the body comprises a seat for receiving the shaft and the shaft is configured to be removably fixable to the body inside the seat;
- wherein the seat is defined by a pair of openings formed in the body;
- wherein one of the pair of openings has an open profile along a direction of extension of the axis and the other of the pair of openings has a closed profile along the direction of extension of the axis.
