  • Patent number: 9307866
    Abstract: Tray (10, 10?) for a chafing dish (100) of the type comprising a base (11, 11?) for coupling to a heat source (101, 102, 103), side containment walls (12, 12?) and an upper opening (13, 13?) for directly receiving dishes or a further dish tray (104), characterized in that said tray (10, 10?) comprises at least two independent areas (16, 16?, 17) for containing water (15) which can be selectively filled so as to selectively allow a high humidity warming, should both said at least two areas (16, 16?, 17) be filled with water (15), a controlled humidity warming, should at least one of said at least two areas (16, 16?, 17) be not provided with water (15), and a dry warming, should both said at least two areas (16, 16?, 17) be not provided with water (15).

  • Patent number: 6311866
    Abstract: A food warmer has a cover hinged on a flame by a pair of side hinges for rotation around an axis between a closed position and a fully open position, with there being present between the cover and the frame at least one spring for opposing the rotation moment generated by the weight of the cover. Each hinge includes a pivot element on the frame and a fork, shaped bracket on the cover releasably engagable with and rotatable on the associated pivot. A spring contained in at least one of said pivots reacts on the fork engaged therewith to oppose the rotation movement generated by the weight of the cover.

  • Patent number: 5775535
    Abstract: A food warmer (10) has a cover (14) hinged on a frame (11) by means of opposing side hinges (16,17,18,19,22,23) for rotating it around an axis of rotation between a closed position and a fully open position. At least one of the S hinges comprises coupling means (16,18) between the cover and the frame which rotate integrally with the cover against the action of reaction means (20) mounted on the frame. In this manner the action of the reaction means supplies virtual balancing of the moment produced by the weight of the cover.
