Each of the outer pyramids have a height that is greater than the height of the inner pyramids. The upper plate is receivable on the lower plate and when so received the outer pyramids of the upper plate align with the outer pyramids of the inner plate to form a plurality of pinch points. The inner pyramids of the upper plate align with the inner pyramids of the lower plate when the upper plate is received on the lower plate and thereby form a pocket region defined between the inner pyramids of the upper plate and the inner pyramids of the lower plate.

  • Publication number: 20020039612
    Abstract: A baked toastable freezer stable filled waffle is disclosed. The filled waffle has a batter-based outer casing material that surrounds an inner filling material. Utilization of a filling material having a water content and water activity level below that of the outer casing material enables the formation of a toastable freezer stable filled waffle. The filled waffle can be stored frozen and reheated rapidly in a conventional toaster without burning or charring of the outer casing material and complete heating of the inner filling material.

  • Patent number: 5242271
    Abstract: A device for dispensing oils, antifreeze and other fluids from drums or other bulk containers has a rotary air motor which powers a gerotor-type pumping element. The pumping element has at least one magnet thereon and an electronics package is provided which counts the number of magnetic pulses which occur during the rotation of the gerotor and converts it over to the quantity of material pumped. A valve controls the flow of air to the air motor which in turn allows an operator to control the dispensing of fluid from the outlet of the pumping element.
