Appl. No.:

12/352450

Inventors:

Robert Long - Glenview IL, US
Edward Eaton - Eola IL, US
Brian W. Mathews - Waterman IL, US
Eric Larson - Pecatonica IL, US

Assignee:

Prince Castle, LLC - Carol Stream IL

International Classification:

B67D 7/76

US Classification:

22218902, 222565

Abstract:

Fixed amounts of granular and granulated seasonings are dispensed from a rotatable disc that lies flat or horizontal and which includes a through-hole or void. The void is gravity-filled with granulated seasonings from a hole in the bottom of a hopper. A screen below the disc is formed to have open, through-holes and a solid land. The void in the disc fills with granules when the void is beneath a hole in the hopper but over a solid land thus preventing granules to spill through the disc. Rotation of the disc moves the void away from the land, allowing granules in the void to fall through holes in the screen. A gasket provides a seal between the disc and the hopper. The disc is rotated back and forth around its axis by vertical movement of an actuator about the horizontal hinge.

International Classification:

A47J 37/08
A21D 8/00

US Classification:

426505, 99386

Abstract:

A hybrid food heating device () includes a first conveyor toaster, which toasts one side of a food product, and a second conveyor toaster device, which toasts two sides of a food product. The second conveyor toaster device uses a rib attached to the inside surface of a continuously rotating belt to keep the belt from running sideways on the runners.

US Classification:

22059201, 16402, 362227

Abstract:

Escutcheons for a temperature-controlled food holding cabinet are removable and field replaceable by the use of interlocking keys and keyholes that hold the escutcheon in place and align the escutcheon to electrical connectors. The escutcheons are provided with illuminated user interfaces. A key formed on either the escutcheon or chassis of the cabinet, engages a corresponding keyhole formed on either the cabinet chassis or the escutcheon.

Assignee:

PRINCE CASTLE LLC - Carol Stream IL

International Classification:

B67D 7/60

US Classification:

222392

Abstract:

A dispenser for viscous, extrudable materials uses a sprocket-driven push chain that is drawn from a chain magazine responsive to actuation of a user trigger. The sprocket for the chain is driven by a toothed wheel, which is driven by a first, ratcheting drive pawl, which is actuated by the trigger. A second ratcheting locking pawl prevents the toothed wheel and hence the chain sprocket from rotating backward when the trigger is released. A single “button” or actuator can be actuated by one hand of a user while the user's other hand grasps a chain retractor to pull an extended chain back to a starting position whereat the dispenser can be reloaded.
