Food flipping assembly

A food flipping assembly comprising:

• a frame having a cam-carrying structure and a movable carrier support;
• a carrier support lifting assembly operably coupling the cam-carrying structure and the carrier support for moving the carrier support between a first elevation and a second elevation;
• a food carrier rotatably mounted to the carrier support for rotation about an axis and for movement with the carrier support between the first elevation and a first rotary orientation and the second elevation;
• and
• a food carrier rotator assembly including:
• a food carrier rotator mounted to the food carrier and including drive elements;
• and
• rotator cam surfaces carried by the cam-carrying structure and located to engage the drive elements as the food carrier moves from an intermediate elevation intermediate the first and second elevations to the second elevation thereby rotating the food carrier about the axis to an intermediate rotary orientation substantially more than 90.degree. from a first rotary orientation;
• whereby upon movement of the food carrier from the second elevation to the first elevation, the food carrier is rotated to a second rotary orientation about 180.degree. from the first rotary orientation by contact with a support surface thereby completing the flipping of any food carried by the food carrier.
