Abstract
The machine consists of a steaming device (6) and a cabinet(4). The steaming device (6) has a container for containing water. In the container, a heating element is mounted for vaporizing the water into steam. The cabinet (4) is mounted above the steaming device (6) in order to be filled with the steam. In the cabinet (4), a plurality of shelves are mounted in order to support buns. Above the shelves, an inclined plate (8) is mounted for restraining any water condensation from falling onto the buns. Below the shelves, a tray (14) is mounted for restraining any dregs formed from the buns from falling onto the steaming device (6). A humidity reducing element (12) mounted in the cabinet for reducing humidity within the cabinet (4). Vents (10) are also formed in the roof for releasing steam out of the cabinet (4). <IMAGE>
Description
BUN STEAMING MACHINE
The present invention relates to a machine for heating buns.
Conventionally, a machine for heating buns consists of a cabinet and a steaming device mounted below the cabinet.
The cabinet has a door and a plurality of shelves mounted in the cabinet for bearing buns. The steaming device has a heating element mounted in a container. In operation, a plurality of buns are disposed on the shelves. Water is filled in the container and the heating element vaporizes the water into steam. The steam enters the cabinet in order to heat the buns. A first problem of this type of machine for heating buns is that, as the steaming device continues to produce steam, the cabinet may easily be overfilled with steam so that the buns become soaked with water. A second problem of this type of machine for heating buns is that, as the steam condenses into water after reaching the roof of the cabinet, the water drops down on the buns so that the buns may again become soaked with water.A third problem of this type of machine for heating buns is that, when the buns are taken into and out of the cabinet, some dregs formed from the buns are apt to fall from the shelves on the steaming device so as to contaminate the steaming device. Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a machine for heating buns, which has a humidity reducing element for controlling humidity in the heating machine.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a machine for heating buns, which has a plate for inducing water condensed from steam.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a machine for heating buns, which has a tray for collecting dregs formed from buns.
For a better understanding of the present invention and objects thereof, a study of the detailed description of the embodiments described hereinafter should be made in relation to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a machine for heating buns in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a partially cross-sectional view of a machine for heating buns in accordance with the present invention; and
Fig. 3 is a top plane view of a steaming device of a machine for heating buns in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to the drawings and, more particularly, to FIG.
1, in accordance with the present invention, a machine 2 for heating buns consists of a cabinet 4 and a steaming device 6. The cabinet 4 is mounted on the steaming device 6.
Further referring to Fig. 2, a plate 8 is mounted on the frame above all the shelves. The cabinet 4 has a frame.
Three glass walls are vertically mounted on the frame. A glass door is pivotally attached to the frame providing access to the cabinet. A roof is mounted on top of the walls and the door. A plurality of shelves are mounted on the frame so as to be enclosed by the walls, the door, the roof and the steaming device 6. The buns can be disposed on the shelves in the cabinet.
A plate 8 is mounted above all the shelves. The plate 8 has a mirrored surface facing the shelves. The mirrored surface of the plate 8 causes reflection of heat radiation so that the temperature within the cabinet increases quickly. After reaching the roof, the steam condenses into water and the condensation forms on the plate 8. As the plate 8 is inclined, the water is induced to flow on the plate 8. Thus, the condensation is restrained from directly falling on the buns.
A plurality of vents 10 are formed in the roof for releasing steam out of the cabinet. The vents 10 can be adjusted so that the amount of the steam in the cabinet can be controlled.
Referring to FIG. 3, the steaming device 6 has a container wherein water is filled. A heating element, e.g., an electrical heating tube, is mounted in the container for vaporizing the water into steam. A humidity reducing element 12, e.g., an electrical dry heater, is mounted on top of the steaming device 6. The humidity reducing element 12 senses the humidity in the cabinet 4 and reduces the humidity when the humidity exceeds a predetermined value. The vents 10 and the humidity reducing element 12 co-operate with each other in order to control the humidity in the cabinet.
A tray 14 is mounted on the frame. The tray 14 has a convex region corresponding to the container. The convex region is formed with a plurality of apertures so that the steam is permitted to enter the cabinet 4. The tray 14 is disposed between the shelves and the steaming device 6 so that dregs are restrained from falling on the steaming device 6. Thus, the steaming device 6 will not be contaminated easily.
While the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that variations thereof will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading this specification. Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover all such variations.
Claims (7)
1. A machine for heating buns, comprising:
a steaming device having (A) a container for containing water, (B) means for vaporizing the water into steam and (C) means for 'reducing humidity; and
