Abstract
A pan rack for a mixing machine is mounted to the mixing machine independent of dimensional and locational variances from machine to machine of typical bowl support mounting pins and hole. The pan rack has a mounting section which includes a hook that engages the lower surface of the bowl support, and the mounting section further has spaced corners that rest on the upper surface of the bowl support such that the pins on the upper surface of the bowl support are received by the mounting section corners. A locking collar is slidably mounted on the hook. The collar is moved into contact with the front surface and locked on the hook to prevent horizontal motion of the pan rack.
Claims13
An attachment of the type supporting a pan for use with a mixing machine having a column with a bowl support, said bowl support having a lower surface and two opposed arms directed generally outward and forward from the column and including a pair of pins, each pin being mounted on an upper surface of one of the arms, the attachment comprising:
- a mounting section having an inner end and an opposing outer end, said inner end of said mounting section having
- an inner end member adapted to be located adjacent the column,
- a first side member having an inner end connected to one end of said inner end member to form a first corner adapted to engage one of the pair of pins, and
- a second side member having an inner end connected to an opposite end of said inner end member to form a second corner adapted to engage another of the pair of pins,
- an elbow-shaped hook including
- a first arm including an upper end connected to said inner end member and a lower end extending downward from the upper end, and
- a second arm having one end connected to the lower end of said first arm and having an opposite end extending generally horizontally and adapted to contact the lower surface of the bowl support;
- and
- means connected to the mounting section for supporting the pan.
An attachment of the type supporting a pan for use with a mixing machine having a column with a bowl support, said bowl support having a lower surface and two opposed arms directed outward from the column and including a pair of pins, each pin being mounted on an upper surface of one of the arms, the attachment comprising:
- a mounting section having an inner end and an outer end, said inner end of said mounting section having
- an inner end member adapted to be located adjacent the column,
- a first side member connected to one end of said inner end member wherein said first side member and the one end of said inner end member form a first corner adapted to engage one of the pair of pins, and
- a second side member connected to an opposite end of said inner end member, wherein said second side member and said opposite end of said inner end member form a second corner adapted to engage another of the pair of pins;
- an elbow-shaped hook connected to said inner end member, said elbow-shaped hook including
- a substantially horizontal arm adapted to contact the lower surface of the bowl support;
- and
- a substantially vertical arm connected to the substantially horizontal arm and adapted to extend upward adjacent a front surface of the bowl support;
- a support section adapted to support the pan and having an inner end and an outer end;
- and
- a connecting section having an upper end connected to said outer end of said mounting section and a lower end connected to said inner end of said support section, said connecting section offsetting said support section vertically downward from said mounting section.
