Self regulated food warmer

A self-regulating food warmer, comprising:

• a food shelf for receiving a plurality of food servings, the food shelf having a flat upper surface and a flat under surface;
• a weight sensitive regulator for attaching to and supporting the wider surface of the food shelf, the weight sensitive regulator comprising a plurality of pressure sensitive springs, the pressure sensitive springs having a spring compression constant to activate an electrical switch, the electrical switch attached to a power source, whereby a predetermined weight placed on the food shelf will compress the pressure sensitive springs and power on the electrical switch;
• at least one blower for forcing hot air onto at least one food servings, the blower comprising a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet, a fan arranged in the housing and operatively connected to the electrical switch to cause air to flow from the air inlet to the air outlet, a ceramic heating element arranged between the air inlet and air outlet and operatively connected to the electrical switch;
• at least one air flow tube for funneling hot air over the food shelf, the tube having two ends, a first end attached to the blower air outlet and a second closed end, a plurality of apertures spaced along the longitudinal axis of the air flow tube, whereby the hot air forced from the blower air outlet disperses through the apertures;
• and
• at least one support structure for supporting the air flow tube, each support structure supports the air flow tube so that the apertures are directed towards the food shelf.
