Patent number: 10420355Abstract: A dispenser machine for storing and dispensing viscous foods and beverages and provides for the efficient and safe dispensation of a viscous food or beverage product that is contained in a flexible product container and which does not come into direct contact with the dispenser equipment. The dispenser includes an evacuation system which includes a weighted roller or slidable weight in contact with one or more sides of the product container and which operates by force of gravity to pressure and direct the food or beverage product contained in the container toward and out of the bag or container tube spout. A pump unit, which is configurable to provide for the dispensation of both food and beverage products with different viscosities by the addition or removal of one or pump pins, draws product from the container as desired and the pump unit pins operate to pinch and prevent the flow of product from the container tube spout after the pump is shut off.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: TRV Dispense, LLCInventors: Tracy Vulpitta, Erwin Vulpitta, Scott Northuis, Mark Briski, Edgar Paffrath

Publication number: 20170265687Abstract: A location based holding system comprises a holding device. The holding device includes a food storage chamber and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor senses the temperature of the food storage chamber. A temperature control device changes the temperature of the food storage chamber. A location device determines the physical location of the holding device. A memory stores information about a food item located in the food storage chamber. A processor is operatively coupled to the memory, location device, and holding device. The processor activates the temperature control device of the holding device based on the physical location of the food storage or transportation device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: Prince Castle LLCInventors: Loren Veltrop, Brian Truesdale, Jeremy J.
