Description
~IE:LD OF THE ~NV~NqlON 13 1 3 i ~ ~
This lnvention relates to a food frying machine and more particularly to a food proces.sing machine in which a food ltem is fried ln cooking oil under a meshed belt to guide the fried food item through the cooklng oil.
BAC:KGROll~ll) OE TIIE I~VEN'rION
There are a varlety of food frying machine~ available~. A
typical construction is disclosed in Japanese patent publicatlon gg-39827.
The food frying machine described in Japanese patent publication ~9-39827 has a stationary mesh and a movable mesh. The movable mesh ~oves the food item through a pan of cooking oil while the stationary mesh prevents ~loatlng of the fried food item. The problem with this food frying machine ls ~hat the mesh used to prevent floating of the food item in the cooking oil is of stationary construction. The stationary mesh lnhibits smooth movement o~ the food item through the cooking oll. This causes the shape of the food item to be changed and efficiency of the food processing operation is reduced.
Further, even if the mesh belt is an endless type, the food item is transported to the opposlte side of the pan from the feeding position. Half of the mesh belt is immersed ln the cooking oil and the fried food item is not returned to ~he feeding p~sition.
Furthermore, proper draining of the cooking oil from the fried food item is not effected sin~e the portlon of the mesh belt that is not immersed in the cooking oil is short.
~ 3 ~ 2 SUHMARY O~`_IE I~5VENTION
In vlew oi the drawbacks of the prior art devlca, lt ls a prlncipal object of the present invention to provlde a food frylng machine in which a fooA ltem is frlecl ln cooking oil under a mesh belt so as to safely guide the food i~em through the cooklng oll.
The food frying machine according to the present invention comprises a ro~atably mounted endless mesh belt for carrying food items, a me2lns for ~riving the endless mesh belt and a U-shaped pan for containing the heatecl cooklng oll. The lower part of the endless mesh belt is immersed in the cooklng oll to yulde the food ltem throu~h the heated cookiny oll whlle controlllng floatlng of the frled food ltem.
The food frylng machlne of the present lnventlon provldes a continuous automatic food frying operation in which the frled food ltem is returned to a food feeding position after frying.
This food frying machine also allows dralnage of the oil from the fried food item be~ore being unloaded from the endless mesh belt.
The frying operation can be performed by one person.
Furthermore, the food ltem ls completely prevented from floating during the frying operation by the endless mesh belt. The endless mesh belt serves the purpose of transport of the food item and prevention of floating of the ~ried food item. The food ~rylng machine i5 relatively compact and as such is economlcally operated.

DESCRIPTIO~ OF TH~' P~'FE~RED E~iBODIM~:NT,S
Figure 1 illustrates a prlor art food fryin~ machine. A
food item is moved through a pan ~on-taining cooking oil by a movable mesh 21. A statiorlary mesh 20 prevents floatlng of the food item. An L-shaped carrier is mounted on a chain and the foo~
item is carried on the L-shaped carrier.
~ igures 2 and 3 il]ustrate a food fryinq machine according to the present invention. An oiL pan 1 contains a heated cooking oll. An endless mesh belt 4 is rotatably mounted to rollers 2 and 3 which are supported by poles (not shown). A
plurality of guide strips 5 are mounted on the endless mesh belt 4 in a certain spaced apart relation.
A food reception member 6 is positioned under tha endless mesh belt 4 in the oil pan 1. A food feeding position 7 ls located at one end of the oil pan l. A conveyor 8 is positioned over the food feeding position 7 to remove the fried food item from the cooking oil.
A driving member 9, such a motor, for the endless mesh belt 4 is positioned over the oil pan 1.
The cooking oil is heated to the desired temperature in the oil pan 1 and the food item is fed into the food feeding position 7. The endless mesh belt 4 is rotated, in the direction of the arrows marked "A`', by the driving member 9 so that the food item is guided through the cookin~ oil by guide s~rips 5.
f~
~31$~
When the food item ls first fed into the cooklng oil it tends to sink in the cooking oil. As the food item is heated and fried, the food item tends to float on the cooking oil ~ust belo~r the endless mesh belt 4.
When the endless mesh belt: 4 is further rotated, the fried food ltems are sequentially lifted from the cooking oil by the gulde strips 5.
The fried food item is then carried by the endless mesh belt 4 towards the conveyor 8 for dralnage of the cookiny oll from the fried food ltem. .
When the fried food item is moved proximate the food feeding positlon 7, the fried food ltem is transported onto the conveyor 8 by the guide strips 5, ~hereby the drained fried food items are sequentially removed from the conveyor 8.
This lnvention relates to a food frying machine and more particularly to a food proces.sing machine in which a food ltem is fried ln cooking oil under a meshed belt to guide the fried food item through the cooklng oil.
