| 20100133862 | PICK AND PLACE GRIPPER DEVICE - A gripper device is provided for picking up and releasing an article. The device includes a support ( | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100264678 | Introduction of the panther multi task tool - A gripper device, having two rotably connected gripper arms substantially longer than the length of the trigger handle structure, is taught. The arms open when the handle is squeezed and close when handle is released. Each arm has a set of grip and hold hooks. Together, the first grip and hold hook on each arm grips and holds a pair of socks for putting on, while the second grip and hold hook grips and holds socks on a wearer's foot for removal. The device grips and holds up to 25 pounds and grips and lifts up to five pounds. A thumb lock can lock the jam plate into a position relative to the plunger rod providing for unrestricted upward and downward movement of the rod, but when in unlocked position the plunger rod has unrestricted downward, but restricted upward motion allowing for the setting of many width openings. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20090001739 | Food Serving Utensil - A food serving utensil is provided for grasping food. The utensil includes two concave, bowl-shaped members oriented relative to each other to define a cavity. The bowl-shaped members are rotatably coupled at a hinge to allow opening and closing of the cavity using a single hand. The hinge is preferably made of a resilient material and extends over the bowl-shaped members to provide a gripping surface for operation. A lock is provided to lock the bowl-shaped members in a partially closed position. The locked position enables the food serving utensil to be easily stored in limited spaces such as a kitchen drawer. The lock is also preferably designed such that utensil will not open inadvertently while stored. The lock is released by pushing the bowl-shaped members toward each other, preferably in a specific location on the bow-shaped members. A method for making the utensil is provided. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090140535 | TONGS WITH BASTING APPARATUS - The invention provides a pair of tongs in combination with a basting apparatus and an optional sharpened edge that can be used as a knife for cutting into food to check for degree of cooking. The invention also provides a container for use as a holder of a tool, such as a pair of tongs with a basting apparatus, for applying a spreadable basting material (e.g., sauce) held in the container. The container provides a stable support of the tool, such as the pair of tongs, to prevent cross contamination of working surfaces and basting material on the basting apparatus, while at the same time providing a holder from which the tongs/baster efficiently can be retrieved for use. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090189400 | Hand tongs apparatus quick release device - A hand tongs apparatus quick release device. A trigger device is additionally disposed at a middle section of an upper handle. A long through slot is formed at a front end of the trigger device. An upper-jaw joining pin is joined with a hole formed at a rear end of an upper jaw. A trigger pin and a head screw respectively serve as revolution fulcrums when the trigger device and the upper jaw are mounted on the upper handle. The trigger device is triggered to make the upper jaw generate a revolution restoring operation according to connection and operation relationships between the trigger device and the upper jaw so that clipping portions of a hand tongs apparatus are quickly released. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090243317 | SERVING TONGS - Serving tongs that include handles are movable with respect to each other. The serving tongs include a cutting mechanism, a scooping mechanism, and a locking mechanism. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20120043774 | Wonder Spatula - A cooking utensil for turning grilled, fried or otherwise cooked items without risk of dropping or breaking the foodstuff. The utensil has two pivotally connected handles, joined by a spring-loaded hinge at one terminus. Each handle is equipped with a large, fan-shaped wire spatula for grasping food. The fan-shaped spatulas are large enough to grasp food items without risk of portions breaking or falling off. Further, the utensil is equipped with a hook and eye closure mechanism to secure the spatulas together when not in use. The device may also have metal prongs extending from the outer edges of the spatulas to better grasp foodstuffs. | 02-23-2012 |
