Abstract
An ice cream sandwich machine includes a nozzle having a discharge end from which ice cream is extruded; a wafer infeed and delivery assembly cooperating with said nozzle and comprising a pair of wafer trays for feeding wafers against opposite sides of the extruded ice cream and paired, vertically reciprocable wafer pusher blade means cooperating therewith to urge corresponding pairs of said wafers downward for applications to the extruded ice cream bar; an index wheel positioned below the nozzle and having a plurality of pockets therein for receiving the wafers and the ice cream in the assembled form of a sandwich; and a wafer agitator assembly including wafer impact arms for periodically impacting the wafers in the wafer trays, and control arms fixedly connected with respect to the wafer impact arms for controlling the periodicity and impact force of the wafer impact arms of the wafers in the wafer trays in response to periodic movement of the pusher blade means.
