A food service system comprising a housing having a first bay, a first positioning bracket having a first opening, and a first power supply module having a first mounting interface. The system may further comprise a first canister to selectively couple the first power supply module and controllably dispense a first food product, where the first canister comprises a first receptacle, a first base coupled to the first receptacle, and a first dispenser. The system may further comprise a first drive motor module removably mounted to the first base and operatively coupled to the first dispenser, where the first canister is removably mounted in the first bay by at least an engagement between the first drive motor module and the first mounting interface, and where the first drive motor module may actuate the first dispenser and the first dispenser controllably dispenses the first food product.

Provided is a canopy cover for a roller grill assembly that works in conjunction with a roller grill food separating device. The canopy includes a pair of support brackets that contact the sidewalls of the roller grill to support the canopy thereon. The canopy support brackets include cutouts for positioning a food separating device on the grill assembly. The configuration of the cutouts allows the food separating device support brackets to rest between the ends of the canopy support brackets and on the roller grill. The canopy further includes a pair of canopy header brackets for supporting a header graphic custom sign positioned above the roller grill. The canopy provides a sanitary cover for a roller grill and a food separating device that permits segregation of food products on the grill surface, protects the food from contaminants, and provides support for an advertising sign.

The present invention relates to a serving apparatus. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a serving apparatus, comprising: a driving unit; a body unit connecting to the driving unit and having a top side and an interior, wherein at least a part of a lateral side of the body unit is open; and a body container disposed in the interior of the body unit, wherein food or food containers are placed at the body container and the top side.

The invention relates to a food bar arrangement (100) with product holding elements (103A,103B) holding fresh food products, an openable covering arrangement (110) comprising at least one covering element (10A, 10B) transferable between a closed and an open position, covering element sensing means (30A, 30B) registering an activation or a movement of the covering element (10A,10B) towards an open position or vice versa, a disinfection arrangement comprising a plurality of UV-C sources (52) in activated state exposing the food products to UV-C light at a wavelength appropriate for inactivation of pathogens, and a disinfection control system communicating with the covering element sensing means (30A,30B) and an UV-C source activating/deactivating arrangement (40) controlling the disinfection arrangement such that at least some of the UV-C sources are deactivated when a covering element is opened or moved towards an open position. The invention also relates to an assembly of such food bar arrangements.

The present invention relates to a flexible shield or guarding barrier device configured to protect a meal or work area from pathogens and accidental spills from beverage containers. The device is a lightweight and portable device that features an angular adjustable shield and a flat base. The flat base in positioned around the edge/rim of a plate or bowl having a meal or working area and the angular adjustable shield is pivotally-coupled to the flat base, thereby enabling a user to move the shield to protect the meal or work area. The shield in a closed state which makes a 10-20 degree angle with the base to maintain maximum coverage of the plate or work area when not in use.

The disclosure provided herein is directed to a wind deflector that provides a lift and subsequent deflection of naturally occurring wind. The wind deflector has a shield assembly that is connected to a mount assembly. The mount assembly is configured to be biased to a closed position that holds the shield assembly at a desired angle of deflection and to break away when physical force is applied against the bias of the mount assembly.
