Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bun dispensing device for a hot dog dispensing machine.
- Dispensing devices are generally known in the art. They can be further improved specifically to adapt the dispensing devices for dispensing buns in a hot dog dispensing machine in which the buns are dispensed, the sausages are dispensed, the sausages are placed on the buns and dispensed from the machine as hot dogs.
- a hot dispensing device which has means for pulling the bun containing element; means for separating the bun containers with buns accommodated therein from the film of the bun containing element and located upstream of said pulling means; and means for guiding the bun containing element and located upstream of said separating means, said separating means being formed so that each of the bun containers with the bun accommodated therein is individually separated from the film under the action of said separating means.
- the bun dispensing device When the bun dispensing device is designed in accordance with the present invention, it provides a position-accurate and timely dispensing of buns for producing and dispensing of hot dogs.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing pulling means of a mechanism for bun dispensing device for hot dog dispensing machine
- FIG. 2 is a view substantially corresponding to the view of FIG. 1 , but showing the pulling means in an operation with a bun containing element pulled by it;
- FIG. 3 is a front view of the pulling means of FIG. 2 ;
- FIG. 4 is a side view of a bun dispensing device in accordance with the present invention.
- FIGS. 5A and 5B are side view and detailed scaled view showing the pulling means and the separating means of the inventive bun dispensing device
- FIG. 6 is a view showing a beginning of a process of separation of a bun container from the film of the bun containing element
- FIG. 7 is a view showing a further stage of the separation of the bun container from the film of the bun containing element
- FIG. 8 is a view showing a final stage of the separation of the bun container from the film of the bun containing element.
- FIGS. 9A and 9B are perspective view and a side view of a bun containing element which is used for operation of the inventive bun dispensing device.
- a bun dispensing device in accordance with the present invention issued for dispensing buns from a bun containing element which is identified as a whole with reference numeral 1 .
- the bun containing element 1 has a plurality of bun containers 2 which are fixed on a continuous film 3 , for example by glueing.
- Each bun container 2 has a peripheral wall 4 and a bottom 5 which define together a cavity 6 for accommodating a bun B.
- the bottom 5 can be provided with a projection 7 for supporting the bun B in its central region, while the sides of the bun B are supported on the peripheral wall 4 .
- the bun dispensing device is provided with pulling means which is identified as a whole with reference numeral 8 .
- the pulling means 8 include a roller 9 provided for example with a rubber coating 10 for increasing adhesion, a roller 11 , and a motor 12 for driving the roller 9 through a transmission.
- a roller 9 provided for example with a rubber coating 10 for increasing adhesion
- a roller 11 a roller 11
- a motor 12 for driving the roller 9 through a transmission.
- the bun dispensing device further has separating means for separating the bun containers 2 from the film 3 .
- the separating means 13 include a guide 14 and a bracket 15 which are spaced from one another so as to form a small gap 16 therebetween.
- the guide 14 serves for guiding the film 1 over it toward the rollers 9 and 11 . In the area of the rollers, the guide 14 is provided with an opening. At the same time the guide 14 serves as a part of the separating means.
- the bun dispensing device is further provided with guiding means which is identified with reference numeral 18 .
- the guiding means can be formed as a simple curved guide over which the bun containers 2 are guided during movement of the bun containing element 1 and pulling of the film 3 by the pulling means 8 .
- the guiding means 18 is located upstream of the separating means 13 and the pulling means 8 .
- the guide 18 is also located so that the bun containing element 1 is guided in one direction, in particular from left to right in FIG. 6 , while the film 3 is pulled by the pulling means 8 in the opposite direction, in particular from right to left in FIG. 6 .
- the bun dispensing device has means for periodically stopping and moving the pulling means. It includes a switch which is identified with reference numeral 19 and connected with the motor 12 .
- the switch operates automatically so that when the bun container 2 is separated from the film 3 and placed on the platform 17 the switch 19 stops the motor 12 , and thereafter after a predetermined period of time again resumes rotation of the roller 9 and therefore pulling of the film 3 for separation of the next bun container 2 from the film 3 .
