Definitions

  • the invention relates to a station for covering a bread roll half of a bread roll with a sauce in a preparation line of a fast food restaurant.
  • Stations for covering a bread roll half of a bread roll with a sauce in a preparation line of a fast food restaurant are conventionally operated using purely manually actuable cartridge dispensing devices, such as are known from CA 2 930 097 A1, US 2012/0228334 A1 or US 2016/0332788 A1.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the known stations.
  • the invention is directed to a station for covering a bread roll half of a bread roll with a sauce in a preparation line of a fast food restaurant, comprising: a table having an input side for receiving the bread roll half, an output side which is opposite the input side for outputting the bread roll half covered with sauce, a front side connecting the input side and the output side, it being possible for a user standing at said front side to cover the bread roll half with the sauce, and a rear side opposite the front side, a container comprising the sauce and arranged over the table at a working distance from the front side and from which an outlet nozzle oriented towards the table protrudes at a vertical distance from the table so that the bread roll half which is to be covered with sauce can be placed on the table below the outlet nozzle, and a pressure actuator that can be actuated by the user and which is designed to dispense the sauce from the container onto the bread roll half when actuated by the user.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the sauce dispenser according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the rear side of the sauce dispenser of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a side view rotated through 180° of the sauce dispenser of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a side view rotated through 180° of the sauce dispenser of FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic view of an arrangement of a plurality of sauce dispensers according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a view of the sauce dispensers of FIG. 5 seen from one side;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a station for covering a bread roll half of a bread roll with a sauce
  • FIG. 8 is a front view of the station of FIG. 7 ;
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view of the station of FIGS. 7 and 8 ;
  • FIG. 10 shows the station of FIGS. 7 to 9 in a preparation line of a fast food restaurant.
  • a station for covering a bread roll half of a bread roll with a sauce in a preparation line of a fast food restaurant comprises a table having an input side for receiving the bread roll half, an output side which is opposite the input side for outputting the bread roll half covered with sauce, a front side connecting the input side and the output side, it being possible for a user standing at said front side to cover the bread roll half with the sauce, and a rear side opposite the front side, a container comprising the sauce and arranged over the table at a working distance from the front side and from which an outlet nozzle oriented towards the table protrudes at a vertical distance from the table so that the bread roll half which is to be covered with sauce can be placed on the table below the outlet nozzle, and a pressure actuator that can be actuated by the user and which is designed to dispense the sauce from the container onto the bread roll half when actuated by the user.
  • the specified station is subject to the consideration that the manually actuable cartridge dispensing devices are comparatively resource-intensive. If, after use, the user places the cartridge dispensing device back in a container provided therefor, a large amount of residual sauce located on the output nozzle will always drip off as a result of the shaking. At several thousand uses per day, this results in a high sauce wastage.
  • the cartridge dispensing device For the specified station, it is proposed to mount the cartridge dispensing device rigidly. As a result of the rigid mounting, the cartridge dispensing device cannot be shaken, and this leads to much less residual sauce dripping off when the bread roll half is being covered.
  • the container comprises a packet having a movable base that is inserted into a receiving space of a base body, a movable rod being guided from the outer face of the base body into the receiving space and a pivotable lever, mounted on the base body, being in engagement with the rod so as to push the rod in the direction of the receiving space as soon as the lever is pivoted with respect to the base body.
  • the specified station comprises an actuator that connects the lever to the base body and that is set up to pivot the lever with respect to the base body.
  • the actuator is a pneumatic actuator.
  • the pneumatic actuator comprises a pneumatic cylinder having a cylinder body and a piston that is movable under pressure in the cylinder body and that has a piston rod.
  • the pneumatic cylinder is connected in a stationary manner to the base body and the movable piston thereof is connected to the lever.
  • the station comprises an attachment that is removably attached to the lever and to which the actuator is pivotably connected.
  • the base body comprises a base plate having a lower face for placing the base body on and an upper face opposite the lower face, the receiving space being arranged adjacent to the upper face.
  • the actuator is arranged pivotably on the base plate.
  • the receiving space has a semicylindrical outer face in which a piston plate coupled to the rod is guided.
  • the specified station has a handle fixed in a stationary manner to the base body, the lever being arranged pivotable towards the handle to push the rod in the direction of the receiving space.
  • the specified station comprises at least one further container comprising a further sauce and arranged over the table at a working distance from the front side and from which a further outlet nozzle oriented towards the table protrudes at a further vertical distance from the table, and a further pressure actuator that can be actuated by the user and which is designed to dispense the sauce from the further container when actuated by the user.
  • the pressure actuator and the further pressure actuator can be actuated by way of a shared actuation member.
  • the base body, the lever and the rod are part of a gun device that are insertable into the container.
  • the table comprises a clearance below the outlet nozzle.
  • a device in another aspect of the invention, comprises a base body having a receiving space for inserting a packet containing the foodstuff, a movable piston rod that is guided into the receiving space from the outside of the base body, and a pivotable lever that is mounted on the base body and in engagement with the piston rod for pushing the piston rod in the direction of the receiving space as soon as the lever is pivoted with respect to the base body, an actuator that connects the lever to the base body being provided and being arranged so that it pivots the lever with respect to the base body.
  • the actuator As a result of the actuator, the user virtually no longer has to apply any force so as to dispense a foodstuff from the packet, and so the device can be used more easily, and above all also multiple times in succession, without the use thereof leading to muscle ache or excessive fatigue. High forces can also be applied using the lever so as to push the foodstuff out of the packet reliably. It is also advantageous that unappetizing residues of the foodstuff, which easily adhere to the output opening and soil an output connector, virtually do not occur, since the output always takes place vertically downwards and the packet also always remains in the vertically downwardly oriented position of the output opening thereof.
  • the actuator is a pneumatic actuator.
  • the pneumatic actuator has a pneumatic cylinder having a cylinder body and a piston that is movable pneumatically relative to the cylinder body.
  • the cylinder body is connected in a stationary manner to the base body of the device and the movable piston is connected to the lever.
  • the cylinder body having the larger mass remains stationary.
  • the mass to be moved which is thus lower, is also noticeable by way of a lower power consumption.
  • the actuator may be an electric drive, such as an electric motor having a spindle drive or an electromagnet having a piston rod.
  • an electric drive such as an electric motor having a spindle drive or an electromagnet having a piston rod.
  • the device comprises an end piece that is releasably attached to the lever and on which the actuator is pivotably held.
  • the actuator can be removed from the lever in a simple manner, making it possible, without any major steps, to retrofit the device so that it can also be used with pure manual operation.
  • the base body comprises a base plate having a lower face for placing the base body on and an upper face opposite the lower face, the receiving space for inserting the packet being arranged adjacent to the upper face.
  • the device can easily be fixed to the underlying surface, such as a table.
  • the base plate is held at a distance from the upper face of the table so that output of the foodstuff can take place vertically downwards.
  • the actuator is arranged pivotably on the base plate.
  • a tubular receiving space is formed in the base body and opens towards an outer face in a radial direction that differs from a radial direction in which the lever extends.
  • the device comprises a support handle fixed in a stationary manner on the base body, the lever being arranged pivotable towards the support handle for pushing the rod in the direction of the receiving space.
  • the lever is directed in the same direction in which the user inserts the packet into the receiving space and withdraws the dispensed sauce from the packet.
  • the lever is directed in the other direction. In this way, the user has more space in front of the specified device. Equally, in emergency operation, purely manual operation using the lever is also possible from the rear side.
  • a plurality of devices of the aforementioned type is arranged in a row in a shared housing.
  • a plurality of different foodstuffs such as ketchup, hot mustard, mild mustard, mayonnaise, sauce, dressing or other condiments, can be offered to customers at one station.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 are four side views of a device for covering a bread roll half of a bread roll with a sauce.
  • the device has a base body having two parallel side walls 1 and 2 , a cover wall 3 and a base plate 4 , which enclose a receiving space 5 .
  • a packet (not shown) comprising a paste-like foodstuff, such as a sauce, can be inserted into the receiving space 5 .
  • the receiving space 5 is adapted to the shape of the packet and provided with a circular lid 6 .
  • a rod 7 which carries a piston plate 8 at the end thereof in the receiving space 5 , protrudes through the lid.
  • the other end of the rod 7 protrudes through the cover wall 3 and ends with a handle 9 , which may be colored to identify the paste-like foodstuff.
  • the rod 7 and the piston plate 8 fixed thereto are guided, linearly displaceably in the longitudinal direction, in an opening in the lid 6 and in a further opening in the cover wall 3 .
  • the rod 7 is coupled to a pivotable lever 10 , the lever 10 being held directly or indirectly on the two side walls 1 and 2 via a pivot joint 11 .
  • a drive pin 10 a on the lever 10 is coupled to a drive plate 12 , which is biased by a spring 13 and which encloses the rod 7 .
  • the drive plate 12 tilts with respect to the rod 7 and thus pushes the rod 7 downwards, whereas during the downward movement of the lever 10 , the drive plate 12 is brought by the spring 13 into a tilt-free position in which it slides along the rod 7 without moving the rod 7 .
  • the lever 10 is moved in the upward movement direction and in the downward movement direction by way of an actuator implemented as a pneumatic cylinder 14 , of which one end is connected to the base plate 4 and the other end is connected to the lever 10 , an articulated connection to joints 15 a and 15 b respectively being provided at the two ends.
  • an actuator implemented as a pneumatic cylinder 14 , of which one end is connected to the base plate 4 and the other end is connected to the lever 10 , an articulated connection to joints 15 a and 15 b respectively being provided at the two ends.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 14 is connected to the base plate 4 via a joint 15 a and has a displaceable piston rod 16 which is articulated to the free end of the lever 10 .
  • the pneumatic cylinder 14 can be activated by way of a pneumatic switch 17 , which is attached to one of the side walls 1 or 2 or an end wall, specifically preferably so that it faces the withdrawal side of the device shown at which a user uses the device for covering the bread roll half of the bread roll with the sauce. By pushing the switch 17 towards the packet, a pneumatic line 20 is opened and compressed air is thus applied to the pneumatic cylinder 14 .
  • the pneumatic cylinder actuates the lever 10 , which in turn pushes the piston rod 16 downwards, in such a way that the paste-like foodstuff is pushed out of the packet.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 14 is pressure-free again, and the piston rod 16 is slid in the direction of the interior of the pneumatic cylinder 14 by a restoring spring (not shown in greater detail), so that the lever 10 is displaced back into the starting position thereof again, but without moving the rod 7 .
  • the pneumatic cylinder 14 With each actuation of the switch 17 , the pneumatic cylinder 14 thus performs the aforementioned stroke, a predetermined amount of the paste-like foodstuff thus being pushed out of the packet.
  • the piston rod 16 is connected to a free end of the lever 10 via an attachment 18 .
  • the piston rod 16 is thus linked to the attachment 18 via a pivot joint 15 b .
  • the attachment 18 can simply be placed on the free end of the lever 10 and held in a frictional fit, since only minimal longitudinal forces occur in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the lever 10 when the piston rod 16 moves.
  • a stationary support handle 19 on which a hand can rest when the lever 10 is actuated, is fixed on the housing.
  • Compressed air is supplied to the pneumatic cylinder 14 via the aforementioned pneumatic line 20 and an upstream valve 21 , which are connected to a compressed air source (not shown).
  • the actuator is a pneumatic cylinder that has a piston rod and that is pneumatically operated using air pressure.
  • an electromagnetic actuator may also be used, which actuates the piston rod 16 analogously, in which case it should still be provided that the piston rod 16 travels out when the switch 17 is being actuated and automatically travels back into the starting position thereof, for example under spring force, when the switch 17 is not being actuated.
  • the base plate 4 is in a raised position with respect to an underlying surface, such as a table, so that the sauce can be outputted vertically downwards under the base plate 4 .
  • This raised position is ensured by two parallel supporting walls 26 in this case. It can also be provided by feet (not shown) or in some other way.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows an arrangement of a plurality of devices of the described type, which are accommodated in a row in a shared housing.
  • the rods 7 being depicted in this drawing with the handles 9 in their extended upper position, in which a packet can be inserted into the receiving space in each case.
  • the fill level of the associated packet can also immediately be discerned from the outside.
  • a switch 17 is provided for actuating each individual sub-device. In this case too, the output takes place downwards, so that the base plate 4 is held at a distance from a table 22 , in this case by a supporting wall 23 .
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 It can also further be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6 how a combined device can be arranged in a restaurant and integrated into a counter 25 .
  • the receiving spaces 5 are open in part, so that the user can see the associated packets.
  • a plate (not shown).
  • the contents of the individual packets can be identified by coloring and/or labeling the handles 9 or by labeling the narrow front wall 22 bearing the switch 16 .
