ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an automatic food cooking machine comprising a frame supporting a housing having an unobstructed opening with an adjustable heating surface at the bottom thereof. Mounted in the opening of the housing are a pair of spaced parallel endless conveyor chains supported on sprockets connected to a pair of spaced shafts--one driven by a motor, and one used for adjustment of conveyor chain tension. Mounted between these shafts are idler sprockets used to support the conveyor chain.
A plurality of spaced angles are connected to the conveyor chains, and a retainer fastened to the spaced angle is used to secure each food basket comprised of a bottom, four sides, and a hinged lid. A sauce dispenser is supported by a bracket fastened to a slide rail at the top of the housing. As the actuating tab fastened to a retainer moves slowly toward the sauce dispenser and makes contact, it automatically rotates said dispenser 90.degree. allowing sauce to drip directly on the food product. As the actuating tab travels past the sauce dispenser, said dispenser automatically returns to an upright or "off" position.
A heating surface located at the bottom of the housing is supported by four cables passing through guides to a central guide where they are swedged to a main cable that is fastened to a hand crank.
