| 20120085745 | Dual Climate Cart and Tray for Accommodating Comestible Items and a Method of Operating the Same - A mobile cart for the heating or rethermalization of comestible items at two separate temperatures. A plurality of trays are disposed on a corresponding plurality of shelves within the cart. As each tray is slid onto the shelf, a thermal barrier bifurcates the space above the tray into portions. Each tray is also coupled to a socket disposed within the cart which supplies power to at least two filaments inside the tray, one filament comprising means for obtaining a higher temperature than the remaining filaments. The filaments heat one portion of each tray while the other portion, partitioned by the thermal barrier, is disposed within a portion of the cart which is maintained at or around 0° C. by a conventional refrigerator. Comestible items may then be disposed on either portion of the tray according to temperature preference, the tray and cart maintaining and rethermalizing the comestible items at the chosen temperature for an extended period of time. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20110302953 | Collapsible Food Service System - A food service system is formed using a plurality of units capable of being interlocked together in a variety of customizable configurations. The units of the food service system include a food service bar with buffet pan chillers, a work table, a cashier station, and variety of connecting pieces for linking each of the units together. The food service bar comprises a sneeze guard that protects the food contained within the bar on three sides and can be broken down and folded down and into itself when the bar is being transported or stored. The buffet pan chillers are double sided and configured such that when frozen, may accommodate a shallow food pan on one side and then flipped over to accommodate a deep food pan on the other side while still maintaining the same serving height. Each unit is configured to receive multiple sizes of wheels or casters. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110278280 | Food Warming System - A pellet warming system includes a charging unit capable of warming a plurality of pellets contemporaneously. Each of the plurality of pellets comprise an internal heating element which resistively heats the body of the pellet from a regulated electrical current that is provided from the charging unit. The charging unit also comprises a controller board with means to control the duration of electric current supplied to each of the pellets as well as means for cycling electrical current to each of the pellets in order to maintain the resistively generated heat. Once heated, each pellet may have comestible goods disposed indirectly thereon through a plate, the pellet maintaining the comestible goods at an elevated temperature for an extended period of time. The charging unit further comprises means for a user to connect their PC to the controller board in order to alter its internal programming and view its operational history. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110253659 | Pultruded Scalable Shelving System - A shelving system includes a plurality of pultruded vertical posts and horizontal traverses. The horizontal traverses are coupled to the vertical posts by means of a bifurcated collar that are placed on each vertical post. Each horizontal traverse includes an end piece which is configured to couple to both halves of the bifurcated collar. Each half of the bifurcated collar comprises a wedge shaped design such that when a load is placed on the traverse, forces are applied to the bifurcated collar that squeezes each half of the collar together more tightly around the vertical post. The traverses may be coupled to one or both sides of the vertical post to allow the shelving system to be extended as far as the user desires in any lateral direction. The shelving system may also be extended in a perpendicular or other angular direction by means of a wedge shaped corner connector. | 10-20-2011 |
