Abstract
A whipped cream dispenser arrangement comprising a portable, hand-held whipped cream dispenser-canister for holding a quantity of cream to be dispensed as whipped cream. The dispenser has a male fitting on the canister with a central bore there-through. The bore encloses a cartridge piercing pin therein, as part of its prior art use. A replacement adapter cap is arranged in fluid communication with a spaced-apart tank of pressurized gas, and the dispenser has a nozzle having a valve therewith for dispensing whipped cream when pressurized gas is introduced through the adapter cap from a large, spaced-apart pressurized gas tank, and into the canister.
Claims7
A portable, valved, pressurizable whipped cream dispenser arrangement for continuously dispensing pressurized whipped cream, said arrangement comprising:
- a portable, hand-held pressurized whipped cream dispenser-canister for holding a quantity of cream to be pressurizably dispensed as whipped cream;
- a male fitting on said canister having a central bore therethrough, said male fitting enclosing a cartridge piercing pin;
- a miniature replacement adapter cap arranged on said male fitting and in fluid communication with a spaced-apart tank of pressurized gas via an elongated flexible hose;
- and
- a pressurized fluid releasing nozzle on said canister, said nozzle having a release valve therewith for dispensing pressurized whipped cream when pressurized gas is introduced through said adapter cap and into said pressurized whipped cream canister.
A method of continuously dispensing pressurized whipped cream from a triggered nozzle valve of an existing whipped cream dispenser having a cartridge of pressurized gas threadedly enclosed within a male fitting and pierced by a piercing pin in said male member on said canister wherein said cartridge has been used to provide gas pressure to said canister, said method comprising the steps of:
- removing a prior art cartridge holder from said male member on said existing pressurized whipped cream dispenser;
- removing said cartridge from said piercing member in said male fitting on said canister;
- introducing a volume of cream into said canister of said whipped cream dispenser;
- threading a miniature replacement adapter cap onto said male member;
- attaching a master fitting though a proximal end of said replacement adapter cap;
- attaching a flexible fluid supply hose to said master fitting on said replacement adapter cap, said fluid supply hose having a stationary pressurized gas supply tank in fluid communication therewith;
- and
- squeezing said trigger nozzle valve to pressurizably release a continuous discharge of said now pressurized cream and pressurized gas from within said whipped cream canister to thus permit said existing whipped cream dispenser with a cartridge holder and a cartridge piercing pin to be utilized without a cartridge, yet be in communication with a large stationary supply of whipped cream pressurizing gas.
