Whipped cream making machine having a platform arrangement

A whipping machine for making an emulsified product from a mixture of a gas and a liquid milk product capable of forming a foam comprising:

• a housing structure including a container for accommodating a predetermined amount of liquid milk product;
• a first whipping barrel having a substantially labyrinth passage defined therein and extending over the entire length of said first whipping barrel, the mixture of gas and liquid milk product, which has been supplied under pressure into the first whipping barrel, being emulsified during its flow through the substantially labyrinth passage;
• means for supplying the liquid milk product within the container under pressure towards the first whipping barrel after the liquid milk product so supplied has been mixed with the gas;
• a second whipping barrel having one end coupled to the first whipping barrel and having therein means for stirring the emulsified mixture during the flow of said emulsified mixture therethrough;
• a dispensing nozzle assembly including a dispensing spout and a dispensing nozzle coupled to one end of said spout, the other end of said spout being coupled to the other end of the second whipping barrel;
• valve means including a dispensing valve positioned at the junction between the second whipping barrel and the dispensing spout for allowing the emulsified mixture to be discharged through the dispensing nozzle towards the outside of the machine during opening of the dispensing valve;
• a platform positioned immediately below the dispensing nozzle for the support of an article to be decorated with the emulsified product discharged from the dispensing nozzle;
• and
• means for moving the platform between lifted and lowered positions in a direction close to and away from the dispensing nozzle.
