  • Said pre-delivery region is separated and insulated from a bottom delivery region.
  • the automatic bread dispenser according to the present invention may also comprise a top preserving region, consisting of one or more shelf elements, in which said French loaves are loaded and preserved.
  • Said top preserving region is separated and insulated from the pre-delivery region.
  • the automatic bread dispenser in particular for dispensing French loaves, according to the present invention, which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises either a cylindric dispenser body 2, or a parallelepiped dispenser body 22, made of a metal or plastics material, to be supported on the ground or a floor.
  • the cylindric body 2 comprises a large size circular window arrangement 3, allowing to see the bread products or French loaves to be dispensed.
  • the parallelepiped body 22 comprises a like large size window arrangement 33, of a rectangular or semicircular shape.
  • Said window arrangement is preferably arranged at the top of the bread dispenser.
  • Both the cylindric body 2 and parallelepiped body 22 are divided into three inner regions.
  • the cylindric body 2 is loaded with vertically arranged French loaves, at a top region 4 through a loading door 5 arranged on the back of the cylindric body 2.
  • the top region 4 is held at a preserving temperature of +4°C.
  • Said top region 4 comprises moreover a top rotary disc element 6 including a scroll channel in which a plurality of French loaves 100 are arranged.
  • Said scroll channel 7 extends from the outside to the inside, and the French loaves, or French half-loaves, 100 are vertically arranged and are so fed as to fill-in said top disc element 6.

  • the middle disc element 9 arranged at the bottom of the middle region 10 comprises a scroll channel analogous to that of the other disc elements, thereby the French loaves 100 are able of sliding to said horizontal guillotine opening or door.
  • the French loaves 100 Upon payment, the French loaves 100, through the opening of the diaphragm arranged at the middle region 10 of the bread dispenser, will vertically fall, under gravity, into a small heating cylindric space 11, providing a combined microwave and IR heating of the French loaves, and, at the end of the heating, to a following dispensing space 12 from which a user may withdraw the desired cooked French loaves.
  • the disc element arrangement of the preserving region (either of a negative type or at +4°C) can comprise two disc elements and a corresponding number at the middle pre-delivery region, as in the embodiment herein shown.
  • the automatic bread dispenser will contain a sufficient number of French loaves as to provide a truly economic system.
  • a compressor assembly is moreover arranged in the bottom portion of the bread dispenser, at a third region, not shown in the Figures.
  • Said third region also comprises the microwave and IR heating assembly as well as a space for delivery the French loaves to a customer.
  • the quick heating step recovering air is also so conveyed as to hold at a desired value, if necessary, the temperature of the pre-delivery middle region.
  • both the top region and the central region are under controlled temperature and moisture conditions, that is at +25-30°C while the preserving region at +4°C being absent.
  • the parallelepiped body 22 is designed for receiving the French loaves 100 in a horizontal position thereof.
  • said parallelepiped body 22 comprises a plurality of inner bread trays 66, on which the French loaves 100 are horizontally slidingly displaced, and being loaded thereon through the front window arrangement opening 33.
  • a top preserving region having a negative temperature or a +4°C temperature comprising, for example, the top trays; a pre-delivery region having controlled temperature and moisture conditions, at +25-30°C, for example with two or more middle trays; and a bottom region with the housing space for the compressor, a quick microwave and IR heating assembly and a related withdrawing area.
  • a customer may request that bread be delivered even without the quick heating step, for example to bring the taken French loaves to his/her home to be consumed later, since the bread of this embodiment is fully cooked by the baker.
  • the trays 66 comprise a plurality of endless screw pushing assemblies 16, for automatically pushing the bread loaves 100 from a top tray to a bottom tray, under gravity, owing to the provision of a gap 17 arranged between the shelf elements 66 and the front clear door 33.
  • Each said shelf element comprises a movable diaphragm 18, arranged at said gap.
  • said bread trays can comprise, for each channel in which the packaged bread slides, a pair of feeding tracks 20, shown in Figure 7 , causing the French loaves 100 to horizontally slide.
  • Said sliding tracks 20 are driven by the weight of the bread that, in a supported condition, is fed toward the gap 17, from which it will fall onto the bottom plane.
  • said movable tracks moving through the top portion of the tray, rotate in an opposite direction in the bottom portion of said tray, thereby affecting the top of the bread to facilitate its conveying and feeding in the bottom tray.
  • the bottom tray is offset and comprises the gap 21 directed toward the bottom of the automatic dispenser, so as to provide a "S" shaped circulating circuit.
  • the automatic bread dispenser according to the present invention can be advantageously used both for generally distributing bread and for distributing said bread to selling bakers.
  • the general or main distributing mode of operation comprises an industrial bread maker making frozen bread products for supermarket or vending-selling arrangements, storing said frozen bread products and loading them on an automatic A-type bread dispenser, that is including a preserving region at +4°C.
  • This distributing mode of operation is provided for larger urban centers, where the inventive automatic bread dispensers are arranged near underground, railway and tramway stations, newsstands, squares, hospitals, outside of trading centers, and so on.
  • the baker mode of operation comprises industrial frozen and/or premix bread makers and bread dealers supplying the frozen bread or premix to the bakers.
  • a baker will bake (in the case of a premix) or thaw out the frozen bread and will complete its cooking (in the case of pre-cooked frozen bread), and the inventive automatic bread dispenser will delivery it (a B-type with the bread loaded at environment temperature).
  • This delivery mode of operation is provided for small inhabited places and allows bakers to greatly reduce their fixed costs for rents, employees and so on, while increasing the selling volumes, by optionally arranging their automatic dispensers at an area near competitors, newsstands, schools, hospitals, squares and so on.
  • the industrial bread makers provide a nearly completely precooked bread product, and freeze and individually package it.
  • the bread maker will supply to a bread dealer, either of public or private type, a vending, a supermarket chain and so on, the frozen bread boxes stored by the dealer in refrigerating places.
  • the dealer will transfer bread from the refrigerating place to a natural defrosting place, at +4°C.
  • This operating step may be directly carried out in a bread feeding van, for loading the automatic bread dispensers with bread in a frozen condition.
  • the pre-cooked bread product at a temperature of +4°C, is loaded in an A-type automatic bread dispenser, including a top region for holding the bread at +4°C, by a refrigerating assembly.
  • the A-type automatic bread dispenser automatically controls, depending on the bread amount present therein, the transfer from the +4°C temperature holding zone to a controlled temperature and moisture lower zone, with a temperature of 25-30°C (the pre-delivery zone or region).
  • Both the above regions comprise window arrangements allowing a customer to see the bread product.
  • said regions are separated by a thermally insulating layer arranged under a rotary arrangement, separating and holding different temperatures in the two regions.
  • said bread product or half French loaves fall into the last automatic dispenser stage, which cannot be seen from outside, and slide through a quick heating tube with a built-in microwave heating system (for cooking the bread from inside) and an IR system (for cooking the bread crust), and which, in about 10 seconds, will heat the bread.
  • the industrial bread maker will introduce the bread premix and/or pre-cooked bread at 60-70% and will freeze it.
  • the bread cooking is not complete, since, during this operating cycle, the cooking will be completed in the baker oven.
  • the bread maker will supply to the intermediate public or private dealer the premix or frozen precooked bread boxes to be stored in refrigerating places by the dealer.
  • the intermediate dealer will load his delivery vans, and supply the premix or frozen bread to the baker who will store it.
  • the baker based on his requirements, will complete the bread making starting from the premix or will thaw out the frozen bread and put it in his oven to complete the cooking.
  • the baker packages the cooked bread, and performs an operating journey for loading the B-type automatic bread dispensers in which the bread is cooked in a fresh condition at environment temperature (without the region for holding it at +4°C) and including two regions for holding the bread under a controlled temperature and moisture condition, that is at a temperature of +25-30°C, both said regions including window arrangements for allowing a customer to see the product.
  • the bread falls into the last automatic dispenser stage, not seen from outside, and slides through a quick heating tube including a microwave heating system (for cooking from inside) and a further IR cooking system (for cooking the bread crust), said combined cooking system being so designed that in a period of about 10 seconds the bread is properly heated.
  • a quick heating tube including a microwave heating system (for cooking from inside) and a further IR cooking system (for cooking the bread crust), said combined cooking system being so designed that in a period of about 10 seconds the bread is properly heated.
  • the bread is sent to the delivery space, at which stage a customer can select a delivery mode without final heating, in case he/she prefers to take the bread to home.
  • the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
