The protruding member 71 may be fixed to the plate member 50 because the protruding end portion of the fixing protrusion 72 inserted into the installation hole 54 is pressed with a press to open the end portion to the outside to form a locking step.

Then, at the boundary portion between the fixing protrusion 72 and the conveying projection 76, a locking projection 74 is formed to protrude outward to limit the movement of the protruding member 71.

Outside the end of the transfer protrusion 76, the inclined surface 78 is formed to be tapered to facilitate entry of the coupling hole 82 of the mounting plate 80.

The inclined surface 78 is formed at a gentle inclination angle with respect to the vertical surface so that a small circular cross section is formed without the pointed end of the transfer projection 76 being sharp.

Hereinafter, look at the assembly and operation of the ice cream transfer chain mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention based on the accompanying drawings.
