Patent number: 11758918Abstract: Systems and methods for processing food products. One aspect is a system for processing food products including a base member, a vessel member defining a vessel volume, an opening formed through the vessel member, a vessel lip surrounding the opening; a vessel lid connected to the vessel member to substantially seal the opening; a motor shaft, at least one mixing member connected to the motor shaft and within the vessel volume; a motor connected to the motor shaft; and grinding media within the vessel volume for grinding and mixing food products, where energizing the motor urges the motor shaft and the at least one mixing member to rotate within the vessel volume to agitate the grinding media; and where the grinding media includes first grinding media and second grinding media.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Trade Secret ChocolatesInventors: Adam D.

Patent number: 11224233Abstract: Content containers and vessels, one aspect including a deformable fluid-tight container shell defining an internal volume and separating the internal volume from an external environment; a room-temperature semi-solid content contained within the internal volume; and a valve operationally connected to and disposed at least partially without the deformable container shell; where the semi-solid content is a hydrophobic matrix with at least partially emulsified hydrophilic components; where the container shell is substantially fluid-tight; where the valve has open state(s) and a closed state; where the valve may be actuated between the open state(s) and the closed state; where the valve is self-cleaning; where during the open state(s), the internal volume is in fluidic communication with the external environment; where during the closed state, the internal volume content cannot fluidically communicate with the external environment; and where the content remains moisture-stable while the valve is in the closed staType: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Inventors: Matthew J.

Patent number: 10993457Abstract: Apparatus and systems for melting and liquefying chocolate. In one aspect, a system includes a generally fluid-tight exterior housing defining a first volume; a bulkhead positioned within the housing and dividing the first volume into separate second and third volumes; at least one vertical support member operationally connected to the exterior housing; a base support member operationally connected to the vertical support member; a dispenser guiding member disposed within the first volume and operationally connected to the exterior housing; and a heating element in thermal communication with the first volume, wherein energization heats the first volume to 37 to 46 degrees Celsius. Other aspects include where the liquid chocolate contains less than 3% water; where the liquid chocolate is solid at room temperature; a multiple pivot hinge; and a noninterfering interdigitating hinge.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Inventors: Matthew J.

Patent number: 10165906Abstract: An apparatus for dissolving a fragrance carrier such as a shower tablet, including a fragrance carrier holder and a mount bracket supporting a water-holding reservoir and configured so that water in the reservoir or from the reservoir can contact and dissolve the fragrance carrier on the holder. The apparatus is attachable to a vertical wall for a shower stall. The reservoir can be provided with a valve to at least partially control flow of water from the reservoir. The valve is preferably a flapper valve, a rotatable flow regulator valve, a poppet valve or a duckbill valve. A method of dissolving the fragrance carrier is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: REMARKABLY WELL, INCInventors: Alan M. Beychok, Kathleen E. R. Huthmaker, Todd J. Huthmaker, Craig J. Cochran, Adam D. Ambrecht, Maureen E. Carroll, Stephen D. M. Jones
