  • Patent number: 9696017
    Abstract: A lighting system includes a bag that has an outer wall and the outer wall has an inside surface. A lighting unit is removably attached to the bag and the lighting unit is positioned on the inside surface of the outer wall. The lighting unit is selectively actuatable to emit light downwardly in the bag with respect to the lighting unit and laterally in the bag with respect to the lighting unit. Thus, the lighting unit illuminates an interior of the bag thereby facilitating contents of the bag to be found in darkness.

  • Patent number: 6814262
    Abstract: An assembly for dispensing liquid food product from a food warmer and dispenser that includes a disposable pump. The disposable pump includes a portioning chamber having a hollow open interior that can receive a supply of food product. The disposable pump includes a one-way inlet valve and a one-way outlet valve to control the flow of food product through the disposable pump. The assembly further includes a compressing device positioned to compress the outer wall of the disposable pump to force food product out of a dispensing portion of the pump. The compressing device includes a pair of actuating arms movable about a pivot point positioned between their inner and outer ends. The inner end of each actuating arm is coupled to a drive member that moves the inner ends of each actuating arm toward and away from each other. As the actuating arms move, the outer ends of the actuating arms compress the disposable pump to dispense food product.
