ABSTRACT:
A heated, moist air sandwich bin for maintaining sandwiches therewithin sufficiently moist and at pre-selected appropriately elevated temperatures comprising a front always open service opening through which sandwiches may be inserted into and/or removed from the bin. A bin floor divides the bin into an upper sandwich compartment and a lower compartment and defines with the side walls of the bin air flow passages for permitting air movement between the upper and lower compartments. Blower means in the lower compartment forces moisturized air over heaters and through a discharge nozzle extending substantially across the width of and below the service opening. Air directing vanes positioned at the service opening and extending into the upper compartment direct the flow of air discharging the nozzle away from the service opening to create and maintain a dome of hot, moist air over the sandwiches while creating turbulent zones outside the dome to minimize hot, moist air escape through the service openings.
