Patent number: 5897067Abstract: Disclosed herein is a unique adjustable spice/pepper-mill. The spice/pepper-mill is equipped with a shifter mechanism which can be placed in three different positions. The shifter is located at the bottom of the spice/pepper-mill. The three positions of the shifter translate into the production of fine, medium and coarse ground spices/pepper. The different settings for grind size are found by rotating a tapered step ring which applies upward pressure on a male grinding mill forcing it upwardly into a female grinding mill. The higher the male grinding mill is located, the smaller the ground spice/pepper size produced.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1997Date of Patent: April 27, 1999Assignee: Genin, Trudeau & Cie LteeInventors: Pierre Tardif, Jean-Francois Tellier

Patent number: 5490622Abstract: A commuter mug and holder assembly connectable onto the door of an automobile to supply a hot beverage to the driver or an occupant of the vehicle in the course of travel. The mug is formed by a container for the beverage and a removable lid therefor, the lid being divided into front and rear semi-circular sections each having an arcuate wall, below which is a flexible shutter disc hinged to the rear section thereof to normally seal the container whereby when the disc is deflected it then creates an outlet for the beverage in the front section whose arcuate wall is curved toward the outlet to define a drinking spoon. Pivoted on the wall of the rear section is actuator having lugs projecting therefrom to engage the disc whereby when the actuator is depressed by a user holding the mug, the disc is deflected so that the user may then drink from the drinking spoon the beverage flowing out of the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1994Date of Patent: February 13, 1996Assignee: Genin TrudeauInventor: Pierre Tardif

Patent number: 5339982Abstract: A canteen for children whose structure incorporates a drinking straw that also functions as a stopper. The canteen includes a cylindrical container for the liquid to be dispensed and a removable cover which is screwed onto the rim of the container and is provided with an off-center coupler. One end of the coupler projects from the underside of the cover to form a lower nipple to which is attached a long dip tube that extends into the container. The other end of the coupler projects from the top side of the cover to form an upper nipple to which is attached a short, flexible mouth tube, which in combination with the dip tube functions as a drinking straw. Mounted over the cover is a dome having a slot therein, the dome being turnable with respect to the cover from a drinking mode position in which the mouth tube then projects upwardly through the slot, to a sealing mode position in which the mouth tube is bent under the dome and is pinched at the bend so that it now acts as a stopper to seal the container.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1993Date of Patent: August 23, 1994Assignee: Genin TrudeauInventor: Pierre Tardie

Patent number: 5269717Abstract: Novelty dishware for serving food to children and implements associated with the dishware which function not only as eating utensils but also as play pieces, so that the eating process becomes a play activity which encourages eating. The dishware, which may be in bowl, plate or any other receptacle form adapted to accommodate food, includes a rim constituted by an annular, transparent duct filled with liquid having glitter particles dispersed therein, as well as a permanent-magnet piston. The piston is slidable in the duct to force the liquid to circulate and thereby animate the particles to create a dynamic display.
