Abstract

See full text

The invention described herein is a removable lifting and transporting pan handle that is used to lift and transport individual food pans, sometimes called chafing dishes or steam pans, as commonly used in restaurants. In performing these functions it does four things: it provides a sharp edge on the front of two lifting claws to wedge and slide between the food pan lip and the warming well to facilitate the food pan's removal from the well, it provides a mechanism to secure the food pan lid to the food pan to minimize food leakage and heat dissipation during transport, it provides a lifting/transporting handle that is clamped to the food pan for lifting and/or transporting the food pan and lid combination and it provides a mechanism for releasing the food pan and lid combination once transport is complete. It can be used on food pans that are full of food, partially full of food or empty.
