20090255482 | PET TOY - A pet toy may include first and second objects. The first object may include a first toy, and the second object may include a second toy. The first and second objects may be selectively joined to form a third toy and selectively disconnected to deconstruct the third toy. The first toy may be a ball or other toy that may be thrown. The second toy may be a plush or non plush toy, which may or may not be stuffed. The first toy may include two bodies that are selectively joined to form the first toy. One body may include a shaft that can be received in an opening defined in the other body to join the bodies to form the first toy. The second toy may include a hole to receive the shaft for joining the first toy to the second toy. | 10-15-2009 |
20100252021 | GRILLING APPARATUS - Disclosed is a grill having a firebox with an open upper end upon which rests a cooking grate. A burning chamber is disposed within the firebox and below the open upper end for containing a burning fuel material. A lid is hingedly affixed to the firebox and liftable to access either the grate or the burning chamber. A capture mechanism enables the lid to engage the grate such that when the capture mechanism is in a disengagement condition the lid may be lifted independently of the grate to access the grate, and when the capture mechanism is in an engagement condition lifting of the lid causes simultaneous lifting of the grate off of the firebox to allow access to the burning chamber. | 10-07-2010 |
20110223296 | SANDWICH COOKING ACCESSORY - Disclosed is a sandwich cooking accessory having a plurality of pockets in which may be assembled a sandwich or into which may be placed a raw (not yet cooked) sandwich. The accessory also includes a panel engagable to the pockets to contain the assembled sandwiches during handling and cooking. The panel cooperates with the pockets to slightly, but not excessively, compress the sandwiches. The pockets and panel are perforated to enable heat to the sandwiches during cooking. The panel include a plurality of shield to protect certain portions of the sandwiches from excessive toasting during cooking. | 09-15-2011 |
20110302735 | Cleanup system - The cleanup system employs an associated clearing component, such as a tool comprised of squeegee and/or brush elements, to close the entrance to a containment or receptacle unit to thereby prevent leakage or escape of liquid, semi-liquid, and/or dry matter during transport. | 12-15-2011 |
20120266760 | OUTDOOR GRILL WITH INTEGRATED GRIDDLE - Disclosed is a grill including a firebox having a burning chamber and an open upper end, a first horizontal cooking surface disposed over the burning chamber, a domed lid resting atop the burning chamber and enclosing the first horizontal cooking surface and having an opening through a top side thereof, and a panel resting atop the opening in either a first position in which the panel is a lid portion to close the opening, or a second position in which the panel serves as a second horizontal cooking surface disposed above the first horizontal cooking surface and exposed to the burning chamber through the opening. | 10-25-2012 |
20120272921 | Kinetic rocking toy - A Kinetic, reconfigurable modular structure having hollow track sub-components and an internal motioning device(s). The invention employs multiples of 1-5 unique modular hollow track part(s), each connecting to one another. A more basic version would use one repeatable, multi-positional modular track part. Both versions employ at least one internal motioning device(s). These modules connect securely to one another to create a multitude of 3-dimensional, rollercoaster-like tubular structures. The outer structure along with the internal motioning device(s) will easily rock or roll to and fro. The track modules assemble to create end-to-end structures or continuous loop structures where the internal device navigates throughout the structure. A continuous slot can be incorporated into the track modules to allow for unobstructed contact with the internal device. The internal device(s) can be battery powered thus allowing for self-propelled motion, vibration, sound, and/or lights. The integration of a motion sensor would automatically trigger these electronics. | 11-01-2012 |
20130269129 | Cleanup system - The cleanup system employs an associated clearing component, such as a tool comprised of plate portion and an adjacent squeegee and/or brush element, to close the top opening and entrance to a containment or receptacle unit with which it is pivotably interengageable, to thereby prevent leakage or escape of liquid, semi-liquid, and/or dry matter during transport. | 10-17-2013 |
20140026758 | Flavor Infusion Pitcher - A means of suspending flavor medium(s) within a pitcher or vessel containing a consumable liquid. The flavor medium(s) is retained by a removable, substantially central stem(s) which locates to and extends into the vessel. The stem(s) can be made of Stainless Steel, wood, or plastic and be flexible or rigid. The stem can be configurable to be āUā shaped, helical shaped, zigzag shaped, or other shape that aids in retaining fruit, herbs, or other desirable flavor medium(s). The stem functions to hold flavor medium(s) in place while submerging them and while pouring from the vessel. The flavor medium(s) are to be pierced or held under tension while submerged, and function to transfer flavor enhancement to the vessel's beverage with proportional strength to the length of time they are allowed to meld. The insertion of the stem and flavor medium(s) inside the vessel also functions to create an aesthetically pleasing presentation. | 01-30-2014 |
