Dual Valve Injector Assembly For Dispensing A Food Product

Abstract

A dual valve injector assembly having a base; a passageway in the base for receiving a food product; a first draw valve in communication with the passageway and a first spout, the first spout dispensing the food product at a first draw rate; and a second draw valve in communication with the passageway and a second spout, the second spout dispensing the food product at a second draw rate; wherein the second draw rate is lower than the first draw rate.

1 . A dual valve injector assembly comprising:
 a base;   a passageway in the base for receiving a food product;   a first draw valve in communication with the passageway and a first spout, the first spout dispensing the food product at a first draw rate; and   a second draw valve in communication with the passageway and a second spout, the second spout dispensing the food product at a second draw rate;   wherein the second draw rate is lower than the first draw rate.   
     
     
         2 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a first draw handle for actuating the first draw valve to supply the food product to the first spout. 
 
     
     
         3 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a second draw handle for actuating the second draw valve to supply the food product to the second spout. 
 
     
     
         4 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a confectionery injector for attachment to the second spout, the confectionery injector for injecting the food product into a confectionery. 
 
     
     
         5 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 4  wherein:
 the confectionery injector is disposable. 
 
     
     
         6 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 4  wherein:
 the confectionery injector includes a mounting end that mounts on to the second spout and an injection end for insertion in the confection. 
 
     
     
         7 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 6  wherein:
 an exterior surface of the injector tapers from the mounting end to the injection end. 
 
     
     
         8 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 1  wherein:
 the first spout dispenses the food product in a generally vertical direction. 
 
     
     
         9 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 1  wherein:
 the second spout dispenses the food product in a generally horizontal direction. 
 
     
     
         10 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 1  wherein:
 the food product is a frozen food product. 
 
     
     
         11 . The dual valve injector assembly of  claim 1  wherein:
 the first draw rate is about 1 ounce per second and the second draw rate is about ¼ to ⅛ ounce of food product per second.
