Abstract:
A dispensing system for heating and dispensing a food substance in a liquid state includes a portable dispensing unit including housing comprising a reservoir for holding a food substance, a heater operable to heat the substance to an operating temperature for producing a liquid, and a pump for dispensing the liquid via a dispensing tube and spray nozzle. A manually activated actuator operates to initiate the dispensing cycle. Control circuitry associated with the dispensing unit monitors the liquid temperature and controls operation of pump and unit. The dispensing unit may be powered by a rechargeable battery. A charging base provides a dock for recharging the battery of the dispensing unit. The pump may include an auto-reverse feature to draw the liquid back into reservoir when not dispensing the liquid for preventing clogs in the dispensing system.

Claim (Index 3):
The system according to  claim 2 , wherein the heating band has a resiliently deformable structure with elastic memory and a vertical slit extending between the top and bottom ends of heating band, the heating band having an undeformed diameter slightly smaller than the reservoir, and wherein the heating band changeable between an undeformed contracted state and a deformed expanded state when positioned on the reservoir.
