Patent number: 10246220Abstract: A food container coupling system includes a food container configured to attach to a can or a beverage container lid/coupler. The food container includes a food compartment with a side wall and a bottom, which has a food compartment coupling structure. The food compartment coupling structure has an inner wall coupling structure with an inner wall jut, and is shaped complementary to the rim of a beverage can and when the food container is mounted to the beverage can, the food compartment coupling structure mates with the beverage can rim. The system may also include a beverage container lid/coupler with a coupling ring adapted to mate with the rim of a beverage container, wherein the rim defines a second plane, and a beverage container lid coupling structure extends from the second plane and can mate with the food compartment coupling structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: SNACKTOPS, Inc.Inventors: Ronald Mark Buck, Allen Tucker

Patent number: 10232997Abstract: A food container system is disclosed that includes a food container lid. The lid has a beverage container coupling structure that removably attaches to a beverage container. The beverage container coupling structure circumscribes a footprint of the lid. The lid also has a drink-hole surface within the lid footprint and an annular surface above the beverage container coupling structure and within the lid footprint. The annular surface is connected to the drink-hole planar surface and includes food container coupling structure that removably attaches to a second food container. A food compartment is formed from a food compartment inner wall extending from the annular surface, and a bottom connected to the food compartment inner wall. The lid also includes a drink hole extending through the drink-hole surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: SNACKTOPS, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Engel, Allen Tucker, Mike Henry

Publication number: 20180204107Abstract: A self-contained algorithmic interactive system in the form of an architecturally-based software program running in hardware, wetware, plush, or other physical means which would facilitate its operating characteristic designed to establish a meaningful interaction with a participant, in the form of a conversational dialogue, which could be any of, or combinations thereof, the following: Verbal, non-verbal, tactile, electromagnetic signaling, or visual communicative styles between itself and an external entity, such as a human being, an external application, or another interactive system. To ensure the detail of the interaction remains private, data and information generated during interaction is stored within the confines of the hardware's memory and software system and not exported to an external server or network.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2018Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventor: Christopher Allen Tucker

Publication number: 20180104980Abstract: Tools for transforming cans into parts for art and toys. You lock a can into a tube having openings that indicate locations to poke, cut, mark or slot the can, and this physically supports the can and guides the user's tools. Another tool with a flat, tearing area makes dual cuts on both of its sides simultaneously as it rips material away in a strip, leaving rolled edges behind along the cut that are safer and desirably rigid. Another tool can variably position the can in the tube. Finally, metal panels produced by the tube and can are passed through the roller tools' curved, internal cavities, thereby producing useful metal “carpet rolls.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2016Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventor: David Allen Tucker

Patent number: 9783349Abstract: A food container coupling system includes a food container configured to attach to a bottle coupler. The food container includes a food compartment with a side wall and a bottom, which has a food compartment coupling structure extending therefrom. The system also includes a bottle coupler with a top rim and a bottle coupler coupling structure extending from the top rim. The bottle coupler further has an annular opening adapted to fit around the neck of a bottle, a small can or a large can. When the food container is mounted to the bottle coupler, the food compartment coupling structure mates with the bottle coupler coupling structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2017Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: SnackTops, Inc.Inventors: Ronald Mark Buck, Allen Tucker
