| 20100230431 | IMPROVED FOOD DISPENSING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A food dispensing machine and method of use are provided that include first and second food portions that are separately stored, loaded, conveyed, and heated. A first food portion, such as a meat product, is dispensed from a chain of portions in a sealing film via a first dispensing device, which slices the film and expels the food portion. The first food portion is heated in a first heating device. The second food portions, such as buns, are stored within containers attached to a film so as to form a chain, are dispensed by a second dispensing device, which separates each container from the film for placement onto a platform. The platform conveys the second food portions to a second heating device, and the heated first and second food portions are then combined and dispensed. | 09-16-2010 |
