ABSTRACT:
A soup dispenser is provided which will dispense liquid, semi-liquid and/or chunky soups, stews, chilis, etc., with equal facility. A motor-driven dial configuration of a plurality of measuring chambers or traps is provided at the bottom of a heated reservoir in which an impeller is constantly driven to preclude settling and scorching. The same motor drive is selectively interconnected to rotate the dial and successively register a measuring chamber with a discharge port beneath which a food container can be placed to receive the discharged product. The measuring chambers are vented to atmosphere as registry with the discharge opening is respectively effected to assure full discharge of the food products therein. A dial configuration further includes a plurality of selectively insertable strainer structures which are removably mounted flush with the upper surface of the dial over one or more of the measuring chambers to control the ratio of garnish to broth in each dispensed container of soup and the like. A fail safe system is included to prevent dispensing from taking place in the event that no container has been placed in the dispenser in a position to receive a discharge. The reservoir tank is removable and a disabling switch is actuated upon removal to preclude energization of the dispensing mechanism. Indication lamps and sensing devices are provided to indicate power conditions, heater conditions, liquid content conditions and dispensing conditions.
