Abstract
An apparatus for making cotton candy comprises a bowl and a motor with a spinner head mounted in the bowl and coupled to the motor for rotation about an axis. The spinner head comprises a perforated band which extends generally circumferentially around the spinner head to rotate with the spinner head for delivering molten sugar from the spinner head and into the bowl to make cotton candy. A film heater includes a film which is operable for generating heat when an electrical current is delivered thereto. The film heater is applied against a surface of the perforated band for heating the band and melting sugar proximate the perforated band to make cotton candy.

An apparatus for making cotton candy comprising:
- a bowl;
- a motor with a rotating shaft;
- a spinner head mounted in said bowl and coupled to the rotating shaft for rotation about an axis;
- the spinner head comprising a perforated band which extends generally circumferentially around the spinner head to rotate with the spinner head, the perforated band including a plurality of perforations therein for delivering molten sugar from the spinner head and into the bowl to make cotton candy;
- a film heater including a film which is operable for generating heat when an electrical current is delivered thereto, the film heater being applied against a surface of the perforated band for heating the band and melting sugar proximate the perforated band to make cotton candy.
