Freezer Assembly
Abstract
A freezer assembly for rapidly freezing an item includes a housing that may contain the item. A vacuum is coupled to the housing. A bottle is coupled to the housing. The bottle may contain a refrigerant. A tube is coupled to the housing. The tube is coupled to the bottle. A plurality of nozzles is coupled to the tube and the housing. The plurality of nozzles may selectively release the refrigerant into the interior of the housing. The item in the housing is rapidly frozen. An atmosphere actuator is coupled to the housing and the vacuum. The vacuum may remove the atmosphere from the interior of the housing. The vacuum may return the atmosphere to the interior of the housing. A freeze actuator is coupled to the housing and the vacuum. The bottle may release the refrigerant into the tube. The vacuum may return the refrigerant to the bottle.
Claims

5 . The assembly according to claim 4 , further comprising said vacuum being coupled to said upper wall of said chamber such that said vacuum is in fluid communication with an interior of said chamber.
6 . The assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising said bottle being positioned between a back side of said exterior wall of said housing and a rear side of said extraneous wall of said chamber.
7 . The assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising said tube having a coupled end and a free end, said coupled end of said tube being fluidly coupled to said bottle.
8 . The assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising said tube comprising a plurality of loops being evenly spaced apart and distributed along each of a rear side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said extraneous wall of said chamber.
9 . The assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising said plurality of nozzles each having a fixed end and a free end, said fixed end of said plurality of nozzles each being fluidly coupled to said tube such that said free end of said plurality of nozzles penetrates said extraneous wall of said chamber.
10 . The assembly according to claim 9 , further comprising said plurality of nozzles being evenly spaced apart and distributed along an entire length of said tube such that said plurality of nozzles penetrates each of a rear side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said extraneous wall of said chamber.
11 . The assembly according to claim 2 , further comprising a door hingedly coupled to said front side of said exterior wall of said housing such that said door is configured to close said housing.
12 . The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising said atmosphere actuator being electrically coupled to said vacuum.
13 . The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising said freeze actuator being electrically coupled to said bottle and said vacuum.
14 . The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a power supply coupled to said housing; said power supply being electrically coupled to each of said atmosphere and said freeze actuators; said power supply comprising a power cord extending outwardly from an exterior wall of said housing; and said power cord being electrically coupled to a power source.
15 . A freezer assembly configured for rapidly freezing an item, said assembly comprising:
a housing having an exterior wall extending between a top wall and a bottom wall of said housing, a front side of said exterior wall being open to access an interior of said housing; a chamber coupled to said housing, said chamber having an extraneous wall extending between each of a upper wall and a lower wall of said chamber, a forward side of said extraneous wall of said chamber being open, said chamber being positioned within said interior of said housing such that said forward side of said extraneous wall of said chamber is aligned with said front side of said exterior wall of said housing such that the item is positionable within said chamber; a vacuum coupled to said upper wall of said chamber such that said vacuum is in fluid communication with an interior of said chamber. a bottle coupled to said housing wherein said bottle is configured to contain a refrigerant, said bottle being positioned between a back side of said exterior wall of said housing and a rear side of said extraneous wall of said chamber; a tube having a coupled end and a free end, said coupled end of said tube being fluidly coupled to said bottle such that the refrigerant is selectively released into said tube, said tube comprising a plurality of loops being evenly spaced apart and distributed along each of a rear side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said extraneous wall of said chamber; a plurality of nozzles each having a fixed end and a free end, said fixed end of said plurality of nozzles each being fluidly coupled to said tube such that said free end of said plurality of nozzles penetrates said extraneous wall of said chamber, said plurality of nozzles being evenly spaced apart and distributed along an entire length of said tube, said plurality of nozzles penetrating each of a rear side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said extraneous wall of said chamber wherein plurality of nozzles is configured to selectively release the refrigerant into said interior of said chamber such that the item in said chamber is rapidly frozen; a door hingedly coupled to said front side of said exterior wall of said housing such that said door is configured to close said housing; an atmosphere actuator coupled to said housing, said atmosphere actuator being electrically coupled to said vacuum, said atmosphere actuator being actuatable in a remove position wherein said vacuum is configured to remove the atmosphere from said interior of said chamber, said atmosphere actuator being actuatable in a return position wherein said vacuum is configured to return the atmosphere to said interior of said chamber; a freeze actuator coupled to said housing, said freeze actuator being electrically coupled to said bottle and said vacuum, said freeze actuator being actuatable in a release position wherein said bottle is configured to release the refrigerant into said tube, said freeze actuator being actuatable in a return position wherein said vacuum is configured to return the refrigerant to said bottle; and a power supply coupled to said housing, said power supply being electrically coupled to each of said atmosphere and said freeze actuators, said power supply comprising a power cord extending outwardly from an exterior wall of said housing, said power cord being electrically coupled to a power source.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
