20150082992 | POPCORN MACHINES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - Popcorn machines having modular construction that permits shipping in a disassembled condition while providing for quick and simple assembly are disclosed. The popcorn machines include an upper unit spaced from and above a base unit, a plurality of columns that extend vertically between and are connected to the upper unit and base unit. At least three side panels extend within the respective spaces located between the upper and base units and the between the spaced apart columns. The use of a wiring harness in a corner column facilitates the modular construction by permitting plug and socket connection of electrical cords when the upper and base units are connected to the plurality of columns. A side panel having slidable connectors at or near at least two opposed edges and a method of preparing to ship a popcorn machine also are disclosed. | 03-26-2015 |
