ABSTRACT:
A conveying system is provided, which is particularly designed to convey food over a traffic lane to another traffic lane. The system includes a track extending from inside the restaurant, over the adjoining traffic lane or lanes, to a food-receiving station. A chain-driven trolley is coupled to the track and carries a leveling basket for holding the food or other material being conveyed. In the preferred form, the track includes a high-density, polymer plastic defining two chain-receiving parallel grooves and a third, enlarged, parallel groove. The trolley includes a pair of spaced, track-riders shiftably received in the enlarged groove and coupled to one loop of the chain. Preferably, the trolley includes a basket-locking mechanism and the food-receiving station includes an inclined shoulder. The locking mechanism unlocks before the basket reaches the food-receiving station such that upon reaching the food-receiving station the basket contacts the inclined shoulder, pivoting outwardly towards the customer. The system is particularly effective in quickly and reliably delivered food or other material without spillage around a traffic lane or other obstacle upon demand.
