Abstract: A portable dish assembly for feeding a domesticated animal comprising at least two dishes and a frame for holding the dishes wherein said frame includes a plurality of dish holding members which are foldable with respect to each other. Each dish having a substantially concaved interior and equipped with a lid selectively coupled to the dish such that when the lid covers the dish the lid denies access to the concaved interior. A hinge couples the two dish holding members together. The dish holding members include a first ring sized to surround the perimeter of one of the dishes and a second ring sized to surround the perimeter of the cylindrical base of said dish. A plurality of leg members couple the first loop to the second loop in a spaced-apart relationship. Each leg member includes a first end coupled to the first ring and a second end coupled to the second ring. Each leg member is bent to provide a foot on to the leg.

Abstract: A rack adapted to retain a plurality of beverage filter cartridges including a rotatable base member, a stand extending vertically from the rotatable base member, a plurality of spaced-apart hoop members encircling the stand, and a plurality of ring members coupled tangentially to the hoop members and extending from the hoop members at an oblique angle. The base member further includes a stationary segment and an inner plate. The inner plate is rotatably secured to the stationary segment, and the stand projects vertically from the inner plate such that when the inner plate rotates, so does the stand. The spaced-apart hoop members encircle the stand and are supported by parallel bars that extend the diameter of the hoop members. The parallel bars are secured to the stand at different positions along the axis of the stand. The ring members are sized to retain a beverage filter cartridge, wherein a rim of the beverage filter cartridge hangs on the ring.

Abstract: The present invention, in one embodiment, is a poultry shield specially configured to fill and seal the chest cavity opening in a poultry bird such as turkey, chicken, goose, duck, etc. For example, once the chest cavity of the bird is filled with stuffing, the poultry shield, which is generally pie-slice-shaped, is inserted into the chest cavity opening such that the front tip of the shield is under the most rearward tip of the bird's chest plate, the rounded back portion of the shield abuts against the most forward portion of the bird's rump structure, and the skin defining the chest cavity opening is tucked around the shield. To maintain the shield in the aforementioned sealing position, the bird's legs are placed over the shield and tucked under a wire clip attached to the shield. The bird's chest cavity is now sufficiently sealed to allow the stuffed bird to be cooked within an oven without overly drying the stuffing within the bird's chest cavity.
