Abstract
A machine for manufacturing cotton candy balls includes a plurality of suspended rotatable spindles in surrounding external relationship to a spinning or flossing head and in internal relationship to a tub. As liquid sugar/floss is emitted from slots of the spinning head and impinges upon the rotating spindles, a cotton candy ball is formed on each spindle. An ejector is associated with each spindle and descends vertically to simultaneously downwardly eject the cotton candy balls.
Claims53
A machine for manufacturing a cotton candy ball comprising a spindle, means for rotating said spindle, means for impinging a stream of heated liquid sugar upon said spindle during the rotation of said spindle by said spindle rotating means thereby forming a cotton candy ball upon said spindle, and means for ejecting a cotton candy ball from said spindle at the position at which the stream impinges upon the spindle to form the cotton candy ball.
A machine for manufacturing cotton candy balls comprising a plurality of spindles each including an axis, means for rotating each of said spindles about its axis, means for impinging a stream of heated liquid sugar upon said spindles during the rotation of said spindles by said spindles rotating means thereby forming a cotton candy ball upon each spindle, said spindle axes being disposed in generally parallel relationship to each other at a predetermined fixed spatial location relative to each other and to said impinging means, and means for ejecting cotton candy balls from said spindles at said fixed spatial locations.
