KITCHEN GUN SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A dispensing system for dispensing edible liquid ingredients as required, the dispensing system comprising:
- a compressed air means for supplying compressed air;
a first hose, having a first end and a plurality of second ends, for receiving compressed air, the first end being coupled to the compressed air means;
a plurality of air-driven pumps, each of the plurality of air-driven pumps being connected to one of the second ends of the first hose, the first hose providing compressed air to each of the plurality of air-driven pumps, each of the plurality of air-driven pumps being powered by the compressed air and having an inlet and an outlet;
a plurality of second hoses, each of the plurality of second hoses having a first end adapted for attachment to a package of an edible liquid ingredient, and a second end attached to the inlet of one of the air-driven pumps;
a manifold for a dispenser, the manifold having a plurality of manifold inputs and a plurality of manifold outputs;
a plurality of third hoses, one end of each of the third hoses being connected to one of the outlets of the plurality of air-driven pumps and the other end of each of the third hoses being connected to one of the plurality of manifold inputs; and
a dispenser, the dispenser being connected to the manifold outputs by a plurality of fourth hoses, the dispenser having a plurality of control mechanisms corresponding to at least the plurality of inputs on the manifold, each of the fourth hoses corresponding to a control mechanism on the dispenser so that selected edible liquid ingredients may be selectively dispensed from the dispenser when desired by operating the respective control mechanisms on the dispenser.

Abstract
A kitchen gun system for dispensing edible liquid ingredients as required for cooking. The kitchen gun system includes a plurality of pumps, each having an inlet and an outlet. Packages of edible liquid ingredients are attached to the inlets of the pumps. The outlets of the pumps are connected to a plurality of manifold inputs of a manifold. A plurality of manifold outputs is connected to a hand-held dispensing gun. The dispensing gun has a plurality of control mechanisms corresponding to at least the plurality of inputs on the manifold. Selected edible liquid ingredients may be selectively dispensed from the dispensing gun when desired by operating the respective control mechanisms on the dispensing gun. The kitchen gun system is suitable for use in a kitchen in a commercial establishment and includes sources of highly concentrated liquid precursor for stock, cooking oils and wines, lemon juice, and other liquids. These liquids are pumped to a hand-held gun and, if necessary, mixed with water in a desired concentration while being dispensed as required.
