Trolley for dispensing meal trays in e.g. hospital, has circulation unit assuring circulation of air generated by onboard ventilated cold air generating assembly in closed circuit inside closed chamber

摘要

The trolley (10) has a parallelepiped vessel (14) interiorly defining a closed chamber (15). An access door accesses the chamber for placing meal trays (11). A maintaining unit i.e. support slide (18), maintains the trays in the chamber along a dispensing direction. Heating trays (19) are utilized as supports for hot parts (13) of the trays. A circulation unit assures circulation of air generated by an onboard ventilated cold air generating assembly in a closed circuit inside the chamber. A cold air pipe (22) is supplied with cold air by the air generating assembly. An independent claim is also included for a method for storing meal trays placed in a dispensing trolley.
