Hamburger patty making system

A hamburger patty making system for allowing uniform hamburger patties to be easily made comprising, in combination:

• a housing having a generally rectangular configuration, the housing including a top tray and a bottom tray, the top tray and the bottom tray each having an upper surface, a lower surface, a front wall, a back wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, the housing having a central aperture extending through the top tray and the bottom tray, the front wall of the bottom tray having a channel extending inwardly thereof in communication with the central aperture, the first side wall of the top tray having a side aperture therein in communication with the central aperture;
• a press coupled with respect to the housing, the press including an angularly oriented handle portion having a first end and a second end, the first end being hingedly coupled with the back wall of the top tray of the housing, the press including an upper container portion secured thereto, the upper container portion having a generally cylindrical configuration defined by a closed upper end and a wider open lower end, the closed upper end being secured to the second end by a cylindrical extension, the upper container portion being disposed over the central aperture of the housing in a lowered orientation;
• a lower container portion removably received within the central aperture of the housing, the lower container portion including a cup portion adapted for being seated within the central aperture, the cup portion having an open upper end and a closed lower end, the closed lower end having a central opening therethrough, the central opening having an open ended cylindrical sleeve extending downwardly therefrom, the cylindrical sleeve having an annular recess formed therein, the annular recess being linearly aligned with the side aperture of the first side wall of the top tray of the housing, a locking rod extending through the side aperture and being positioned within the annular recess to preclude removal of the lower container portion from the central aperture;
• a piston removably coupled with respect to the lower container portion, the piston including an upper circular plate, the plate being seated on the closed lower end of the cup portion, the plate having a wide cylindrical base extending downwardly therefrom through the central opening and the open ended cylindrical sleeve, the base having a narrow cylindrical stem extending downwardly therefrom;
• and
• a lever coupling with the piston to facilitate raising and lowering thereof with respect to the upper container portion, the lever including an inner fork portion and an outer handle portion, the inner fork portion extending through the channel in the front wall of the lower tray of the housing and into the central aperture, the fork portion engaging the narrow cylindrical stem of the piston, the outer handle portion being disposed outwardly of the housing to facilitate raising and lowering of the inner fork portion.
