Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic hot food dispenser , that is an apparatus operated by tokens or coins , in which food (generally precooked) is stored, such as buns , pasta , meat , or vegetables which are heated on request for immediate consumption.
  • food generally precooked
  • the state of the art includes no hot food dispensers, apart from the dispenser of potato chips which, in the precooked state, on insertion of the token or coin, are conveyed, by falling, into the basket of a deep frier, and then drained and then tipped into a container arranged near the outlet mouth, from where they are taken by the consumer.
  • This prior state of the art is capable of much improvement with regard to the possibility of filling the existing gap in the automatic distribution of precooked hot food on request, avoiding waiting and making food available throughout the day and at all kinds of premises, whether or not these offer hot snack-bar services, and in the absence of special staff.
  • the invention solves the abovementioned technical problem by adopting a dispenser which is advantageously fitted with four vertical magazines containing one or more kinds of food , in pieces or in containers, the magazines being longitudinally parallel, in plan view arranged at the corners of a square or rectangle , and placed .
  • each magazine consisting of a pair of closed vertical chains fitted around their periphery with food-containing cells , each cell being formed by a pair of parallel plates in the shape of an acute angled L and an obtuse angled L respectively, with the short sides superposed to adjust the size of the cell and to attach it to the link of the pair of chains by means of bolts: resulting in a U-shaped cell tilted downwards on the descending arm, with its end turned towards the inside of the unit, and sufficiently tilted to allow the food or its container to overcome the resistance due to the casing angle ; the cells being limited, sideways, by the flanks of the casing and , forwards, by the peripheral wall of said casing which is interrupted only by an outlet mouth, at an intermediate height down the descending arm; each pair of said chains being made to move in steps equal to the pitch of the cells so that the free end

Abstract

L'unité de distribution contient un ou plusieurs magasins (11) comportant une paire de chaînes verticales (12) dont le mouvement par pas est égal au pas des cellules (13), les cellules étant inclinées vers le bas le long du bras descendant et contenant l'aliment précuit et pasteurisé (14) (tel qu'une pizza, des petits pains, de la viande, des légumes), facultativement réfrigérés, déliés ou enveloppés, à chauffer; après une demande provenant du dispositif récepteur de jetons (2), l'aliment quitte la bouche (20) du distributeur et passe dans la goulotte transversale (21) pour être transféré sur la bande de manutention longitudinale (22), puis il pénètre dans le four à micro-ondes (23) duquel il sort cuit, et il passe sur la trappe d'extraction (3).
