Abstract
A personal food conveyor apparatus comprises a frame which provides for clamping to a table at the bottom end. The clamp is operated by a thumbscrew. The bottom of the frame further comprises a step which allows for a plate to fit closely to and under the leading edge of the frame bottom. The top of the frame comprises a landing platform for food. A user moves food from the plate to the conveyor ramp. The non-slip surface of the ramp delivers the food to the landing platform from whence the user can move food into their mouth. A switch on the side of the frame provides on/off ramp function. The conveyor assembly is removable from the frame, and is further capable of disassembly. The removability and disassembly provide for easy cleaning and for any needed parts replacement.
