International Classification:

US Classification:

30417, 418426

Abstract:

A hand-held can opener having a grip handle, a grip block pivotally mounted to the forward end of the grip handle, a scissors handle pivotally mounted to the grip block, and having a unique improved one way clutching assembly. The clutching assembly employs a pinion gear having slanted notches. A toothed ring has circumferentially spaced slanted teeth that mesh in the slanted notches. During driving rotation of the toothed ring, right angle surfaces of the slanted notches on the pinion gear and right angle surfaces on the teeth of the toothed ring mesh so that the toothed ring is rotated. This rotation is carried into rotation of a cup through mating non-circular square periphery on the toothed ring fitted in a square recess in the cup. The cup is then connected to an axle to rotatably drive the axle and thus drive the can rim drive wheel. A latch has a stop to maintain the cutter spaced from the can rim drive wheel until rotary motion of the drive wheel is halted.

Assignee:

ChefN Corporation - Seattle WA

International Classification:

A47J 4232

US Classification:

241169, 241168

Abstract:

A dual chamber condiment grinder has more than one chamber for holding a different condiment in each, and each chamber has a rasp that can be selectively moved up and down to grind the condiment in the associated chamber. An actuating handle rotates on the top of the chambers to position a cam over one or the other of the rasps to selectively grind the contents of one of the chambers. In the alternative, the cam can move in a slot in a movable handle to position the cam over the desired rasp.

International Classification:

US Classification:

30114, 301236, 301237, 425281

Abstract:

A single-handedly operated citrus fruit segmenter having first and second arms such that squeezing the arms into a closed position causes a curved movable scoop to extend into a citrus fruit proximate to a triangular blade and form a segment-shaped compartment. The actuation of the curved movable scoop occurs by a user squeezing the first arm toward the second arm. A pin on the first arm is operatively connected to an elongated slot of a cam mechanism such that the rotation of the first arm about its pivot location causes the cam mechanism to rotate about its own pivot location. Therefore, the cam mechanism, being also connected to the curved movable scoop, forces the curved movable scoop into the citrus fruit.
