| 20130327199 | Rolling Tool - The present invention relates to an apparatus for rotatably retaining a roller for rolling along a work-surface. The apparatus include an axle adapted to engage the roller for rotation about a rotational axis, a first handle connected to the axle and radiating outward from the rotational axis, and a second handle connected to the axle and radiating outward from the rotational axis at an angle to the first handle. Optionally, the roller has outwardly radiating protrusions, for example to perforate drywall when the roller is rolled along a drywall surface. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140251110 | MULTI-SIDE BERRY PIERCING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A machine includes a frame, a conveyor with a plurality of open-top bottom-apertured recesses for receiving, conveying and dropping skin-containing berries. Upper and lower needle assemblies are supported on the frame above and below the conveyor. Each needle assembly includes a plurality of needles with five-star-knife-edged sharp tips and an actuator mechanism for oscillatingly moving the needles as the recesses pass the needles, the needles being movable between an extended position where the sharp tips penetrate opposing sides of the skin of the berries but with a stroke causing the tips to only penetrate partially into an interior of the berries causing star-shaped slit patterns. The actuator mechanism also moves the needles to a retracted position where the sharp tips are fully retracted. A related method is provided for piercing multiple sides of the skin of berries without unacceptably damaging the appearance or shape or internal mass of the berries. | 09-11-2014 |

| 20140102278 | Potato Piercing Apparatus - A potato piercer having a top assembly with a handle. The top assembly includes a first plate having a bottom surface and a plurality of piercing stakes secured to the bottom surface. The potato piercer further includes a bottom assembly having a second plate and a plurality of piercing stakes secured to the top surface of the second plate. The potato piercer has a housing sized and configured to receive a potato for piercing. The housing has a roof with a plurality of apertures for receiving the top assembly stakes, a floor with a plurality of apertures for receiving the bottom assembly stakes, and a cavity for receiving the potato. There is an actuator assembly operatively coupled to the top and bottom assemblies, whereby a force applied to the handle causes the actuator assembly to translate the potato piercer from a non-piercing configuration to a piercing configuration. | 04-17-2014 |

| 20160058044 | POTATO PIERCING APPARATUS - A potato piercer having a top assembly with a handle. The top assembly includes a first plate having a bottom surface and a plurality of piercing stakes secured to the bottom surface. The potato piercer further includes a bottom assembly having a second plate and a plurality of piercing stakes secured to the top surface of the second plate. The potato piercer has a housing sized and configured to receive a potato for piercing. The housing has a roof with a plurality of apertures for receiving the top assembly stakes, a floor with a plurality of apertures for receiving the bottom assembly stakes, and a cavity for receiving the potato. There is an actuator assembly operatively coupled to the top and bottom assemblies, whereby a force applied to the handle causes the actuator assembly to translate the potato piercer from a non-piercing configuration to a piercing configuration. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160129605 | Perforation System and Method - A perforation system and method of perforating a flexible work piece. The perforation system includes a punch tool having at least one punch head defining a vertical axis. The punch head has a first shape. A die is positioned along the vertical axis and includes an ejection port having a second shape. The first shape overlaps the second shape to provide for punch-to-die contact that results in a clean cut along a perimeter of the second shape. | 05-12-2016 |
