| 425276000 | MEANS EXCAVATING FROM A BULK SOURCE WITH SIMULTANEOUS SHAPING (E.G., ICE CREAM SCOOP OR PLUGGER, ETC.) | 9 |
| 20140335214 | Croissant Shaping Tool - An apparatus for manipulating a food item, the apparatus having a chassis, an actuator, a first jaw, and a second jaw. The actuator is connected to the chassis and rotatable about a pivot. The first jaw is connected to the chassis and mechanically linked to the actuator. The first jaw is further adapted to move along a first arc. The second jaw is also connected to the chassis and mechanically linked to the actuator. The second jaw is also further adapted to move along a second arc. Rotation of the actuator about the pivot in a first direction brings together the first jaw and the second jaw, the first and second jaws moving along the first and second arcs, respectively. Rotation of the actuator in a second direction opposite the first direction brings apart the first jaw and the second jaw, the first and second jaws moving along the first and second arcs, respectively. | 11-13-2014 |
| 20150110913 | ICE CREAM SCOOP - The present disclosure provides an ergonomically designed solid single piece ice cream scoop emerging from a die-cast or forged too made out of a metal that is finished and polished to eliminate the rough edges from the die casting or forged process with superior mechanical leverage to scoop out the hardest ice cream from a container. | 04-23-2015 |
| 425277000 | Means includes enclosure for fluids of high specific heat | 1 |
| 20090017149 | AUTOMATIC ICE CREAM SCOOPER - An automatic ice cream scooper. A cylinder of ice cream is placed vertically within a refrigerated container on a slicer having a disc shape. The slicer includes an angled slicing blade for removing ice cream. The slicer is rotated by a motor to remove the ice cream. The slicer has an upstanding edge with the screw thread formed thereon for removing the sidewall of the ice cream container. | 01-15-2009 |
| 425279000 | Including means to aid separation of shape product from bulk | 3 |
| 20110183025 | SCOOP INCORPORATING A HEAT TRANSFER FLUID - A dishwasher safe ice cream scoop is disclosed, the ice cream scoop including a scoop bowl, a handle extending laterally outwardly from connected to the scoop bowl, the handle having a cavity formed therein, a heat transfer fluid disposed in the cavity of the handle, a cap joined with the handle and adapted to seal the cavity of the handle, and a coating formed on at least one of the scoop bowl and the handle to militate against at least one of oxidation, corrosion, and tarnishing. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20120225153 | QUICK HEAT ICE CREAM SCOOP - The quick heat ice cream scoop is an improved heat ice cream scoop that includes a ceramic heating element and an ergonomic grip. The ceramic heating element is built into the ice cream scoop and quickly heats up the ice cream scoop, and conversely shall quickly cool down when turned off. The ice cream scoop is mounted to an ergonomic grip that reduces hand fatigue of the end user while providing a location to store powering means for powering the ceramic heating element. | 09-06-2012 |
| 20130295216 | ICE CREAM SCOOPS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING - An ice cream scoop includes a head configured to scoop frozen food product, a handle extending from the head to an end, the handle including an internal cavity with the end open to the internal cavity, a heat transfer fluid contained in the internal cavity and in thermal communication with the head, an end cap that closes the end of the handle, a gasket disposed between the end cap and the handle to seal the internal cavity, and a pin that secures the end cap to the handle | 11-07-2013 |
| 425280000 | Rotating or oscillating means to aid penetration of bulk | 1 |
| 20130316037 | Rotor Assembly with One-Piece Finger Member - A rotor assembly for extruding randomly shaped food items includes a one-piece finger member. The one-piece finger member reduces the downtime of the extruding machine containing the rotor assembly by reducing the number of parts in the rotor assembly and reducing the adjustment necessary after finger replacement. The proprietary threaded interface between the finger member and the improved extruder machine allows for quick swap out during extruder maintenance. | 11-28-2013 |
| 425281000 | Shaping surface having serrated or cutting edge | 1 |
| 20140234464 | Hand Held Multi-Purpose Utensil - A hand held multi-purpose utensil of a constant diameter cylindrical handle or grip and a concave and convex shaped blade which has a curved scalloped shaped working edge. The handle or grip begins at the base of the blade and continues away from the blade along its centerline. The concave surface of the blade has regularly spaced rows of identical divots. At the base of the blade, the shape of the blade becomes convex. A portion of the handle or grip has as cross hatched pattern etched or grooved. The blade and handle is continuous with no connections or parts and comprises a volume of metal, plastic, ceramic, composite or other suitable material. | 08-21-2014 |
| 425282000 | Including product release means | 1 |
| 425286000 | Ejector | 1 |
| 20160192811 | SCOOP FOR FOODSTUFF, PARTICULARLY FOR ICE CREAM | 07-07-2016 |
