20120169077 | FLEXIBLE FOOD SKEWER SYSTEMS - A flexible food skewer system for providing versatile cooking upon a grill. The flexible food skewer system includes an elongated flexible member, a loop extending from an end and formed in part from the flexible member, and a piercing element extending from an opposite end of the flexible member are provided. In use, the user is able to manipulate the shape of the flexible member about other food items on the grill while allowing the loop and piercing implement to be exterior of the grill if desired. A second piercing implement may be provided instead of the loop. In further alternative embodiments of the invention, two or more flexible skewer systems may be intertwined to provide greater and reinforced food carrying capacity, Various alternative structures are provided to enable secured, releasable interlocking of the intertwined skewer systems. | 07-05-2012 |
20120187705 | Cotton Module Spear Implement - A cotton module handling implement has a plurality of elongated tapered rods attached to a frame. Each rod extends perpendicular to the front face of the frame and is positioned horizontally and vertically so as to distribute the weight of the cotton module evenly across each rod and throughout the cotton module itself. The number and width of the rods allow for penetration of the cotton module without substantially disturbing the seed cotton integrity. Mounting brackets for either a three-point hitch or a front-end loader extend from the rear face of the frame. | 07-26-2012 |
20130187398 | PIN-TYPE GRIPPER - The present invention relates to a pin-type gripper adapted for holding and transferring a target made of soft material. The pin-type gripper includes: a cylinder unit; a pair of slide blocks which are obliquely disposed at the left and right sides of the end of a piston rod and extend in a skirt shape; and links which transmit the piston motion to the slide blocks. A pin which pegs a target is installed on an end of each slide block. According to the present invention, one cylinder unit controls two slide members at the same time. Thus, the pin-type gripper is superior in structure, control, and economic performance to a typical gripper that requires two cylinders and a complicated design. | 07-25-2013 |
20130277994 | GARNISH PICK - A garnish pick for food and/or beverages is disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the garnish pick includes a plurality of appendages that form skewering shafts for skewering garnishes.

In at least some embodiments, the garnish pick and its associated appendages may be shaped to simulate the appearance of organisms or portions thereof. As one example, the garnish pick may simulate the appearance of a branch of a tree or an antler of an animal. | 10-24-2013 |
20140138968 | Flexible Food Skewer System - A flexible food skewer system for providing versatile cooking upon a grill. The flexible food skewer system includes an elongated flexible member, a loop extending from an end and formed in part from the flexible member, and a piercing element extending from an opposite end of the flexible member are provided. In use, the user is able to manipulate the shape of the flexible member about other food items on the grill while allowing the loop and piercing implement to be exterior of the grill if desired. A second piercing implement may be provided instead of the loop. In further alternative embodiments of the invention, two or more flexible skewer systems may be intertwined to provide greater and reinforced food carrying capacity. Various alternative structures are provided to enable secured, releasable interlocking of the intertwined skewer systems. | 05-22-2014 |
