Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, an apparatus is provided for dispensing funnel cake batter or other batter more productively and more sanitarily in a labor-saving and timesaving manner. This apparatus is an assembly made-up of three subassemblies, namely subassembly A, subassembly B, and subassembly C.
Claims4
A funnel cake batter or other batter dispenser comprising:
- a generally cylindrical vessel having top, bottom, and side wall defining an interior chamber and an access opening at one end thereof;
- a releasably locked closure lid removably and sealingly mounted within said vessel opening for filling and refilling said vessel;
- a pressure relief pop safety valve mounted on said closure lid with a sealed passageway in communication with said interior chamber as a means for relieving pressure in excess of 40 p.s.i. therein;
- an inlet pressure valve means on said top wall with a passageway in communication with said interior chamber and adapted to be connected with gas pressurizing means to create a positive pressurization of a batter contained in said interior chamber;
- a conduit means of sufficient size at a first end is joined to a hole in said side wall proximal to said bottom wall allowing communication with said interior chamber for permitting flow of said batter there-through, and a second end exterior to said side wall connected to a standard liquefied carbon dioxide tank is interconnected to a first end of a compressed gas regulator, and a second end of said compressed gas regulator is connected to a first end of a ball valve means for controlling flow of said pressure from said standard liquefied carbon dioxide tank;
- a second end of said ball valve means is joined by means of a nipple of sufficient length to a first end of a union tee;
- a flexible hose of sufficient length at a first end is adapted and connected to a second end of said union tee, and a second end of a flexible hose is adapted and releasably connected to said inlet pressure valve means on the top wall of said vessel;
- a first end of a second ball valve is connected to a third end of said union tee by means of a nipple of sufficient length, and said second ball valve is a means of depressurizing said vessel.
