Unitary mold for making ice sculpture

Details

Inventors: Tu, Chen-Hua;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Woo; Jay H.
Assistant Examiner: Housel; James C.
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A unitary mold for making ice sculpture includes: a mold made of elastomer material having an inner cavity concave downwardly for forming a model of an ice sculpture such as an animal, a building or a person or an article; a perforating bar or needle poking through the mold which can be warmed up to slightly melt the ice surrounding the bar or needle for its easy withdrawal from the ice product and forming a through hole of the ice sculpture for decorative, carrying, or water-drainage purposes; and an expansion-releasing element such as a flip-flop member formed as a part of the mold, serving as a buffer for the expansion of the water during its refrigeration process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention is to provide a unitary mold for making ice sculpture including a main mold made of elastomer having an inner cavity for making a model ice sculpture, an expansion releasing means selected from a flip-flop member or an over-flow groove provided for a buffer of an expansion volume exerting during a refrigeration process of the water filled in the mold cavity, and a perforating means selected from a hollow bar or a heating needle pre-inserted through the mold so that once the water is frozen to become ice, the molded sculpture is released from the mold and the perforating means is withdrawn from the mold and the ice product by passing warm water through the hollow bar or by heating the needle to slightly melt the ice surrounding the bar or needle for its easier removal.
