Abstract:
A freezer component stores and removes frozen food in response to a signal, it includes a rotatable portion, a loading side and the feeding side. Two raiseable platforms are located in each of the loading side and the feeding side. Food is loaded into the freezer component by placing food onto the platforms positioned in the loading side. The rotatable portion then rotates 180° to position the food-loaded platforms in the feeding side. The empty platforms now located in the loading side are loaded with additional food. When a signal is received, food in the feeding side removed from the freezer component by alternately raising the two platforms holding food. When the feeding side is empty and contains no more food, the rotatable portion rotates 180° in reverse direction. The food loaded platforms are now located in the feeding side. The empty platforms are located in the loading side and ready for loading.
