Multi-tier chocolate fountain apparatus

摘要

A fountain apparatus (10) for use with a flowable food media (FM) includes a recipient (24) for receiving the food media (FM) therein, an elongated post (62) and a conveyor mechanism (130). The post (62) defines first and second ends (64,66) thereof and a passageway (68) extending longitudinally there between. The conveyor mechanism (130) operatively connects to the post (62) for conveying the food media (FM) from the first end (64) toward the second end (66) through the passageway (68). A post mounting base (74) has a plurality of standoffs (80) connected to the recipient (24) and spaced apart form one another to define inlet openings (82) there between to allow the passageway (68) to be in fluid communication with the recipient (24). The mounting base (74) has a flange (86) interconnecting the standoffs (80) and a shoulder (84) to abuttingly support the post (62) thereon along with the flange (86) abuttingly supporting the post (62) there against.
