  • Patent number: 5651401
    Abstract: An apparatus for filling multiple receptacles with foodstuffs utilizing a tray having at least first and second apertures through the same. The first and second apertures each possess an entrance and an exit and a chamber within the tray body of a pre-determined volume. Each aperture is spaced from one another on the tray. A feed conduit is also utilized to transport foodstuffs from any one of multiple containers to the tray. The tray is reciprocated to permit alternate communication between the feed conduit and the entrances to the first and second apertures. A cover closes the exits of any one of the apertures at the same time the aperture chamber is being filled with a foodstuff. In addition, reciprocation of the tray removes the cover and permits the foodstuff to pass to a conduit which leads the foodstuff to a container.
