ABSTRACT:
A corn popping apparatus is provided including a mechanism for maintaining a popcorn pan in one of two stable positions, a cooking position and a discharge position, and for assisting in the movement of the pan from one position to the other. The mechanism is powered by a compression spring and includes a piston to provide a controlled return rate. A linkage is provided which serves to pivotally connect the popcorn pan to a frame. The linkage allows the pan to swing from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position down and away from the pan cover so that the top of the pan is completely open to discharge its contents without significant effort on the part of the operator.
