The popcorn machine is comprised of a heated kettle (1) placed in a rotating mount within a glass display

and storage cabinet (2). When popcorn is to be popped, popcorn kernels and oil are measured and

placed inside of the kettle. The kettle has a loose fitting cover, which is closed over the kernels. The

kettle is heated by electric resistance elements. As the kettle comes up to temperature, the kernels will

pop. On some models, a motor driven agitator is fitted to the kettle to keep the kernels from burning. As

more kernels pop, they take up a greater volume within the kettle, and spill out into the glass cabinet.

Popped corn within the cabinet is kept warm by the kettle heat and by the display lighting. Some units

are equipped with dedicated warming elements for the popcorn. Popcorn is served through an access

door(s) (3) in the cabinet.
