  • Patent number: 7302887
    Abstract: A kitchen hand tool for crushing, slicing, or juicing food products. The tool is operated by closing two handles that rotate a drive gear that engages the ratcheting tooth portion of a crush paddle resulting in the movement of the crush paddle toward a basket, crushing and discharge of the food item through the basket. A drive pawl forces the drive gear to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn forces ratcheting tooth portion and subsequently the crushing paddle down in a clockwise direction applying crushing force on the garlic or any item placed in the crushing area. As the drive gear turns until it clicks past a locking pawl. This cycle of opening and closing the handles is repeated until the crush paddle is fully advanced and can move no further and is against the basket.

  • Publication number: 20070210195
    Abstract: The present invention is a handheld grinding mill. The handheld grinding mill of the present invention is operated by first removing the grinder knob and screw off cap to expose the interior chamber of the body, where the desired spice would be place for grinding. Once the body is loaded with the desired spice, the cap and knob are attached. To open and close the aperture, the shutter-actuating ring is rotated either clockwise or counter clockwise, placing the doors in either a closed or open position, as desired. To grind and dispense spices loaded in the body of the mill, the actuating ring is rotated to retract the doors and open the aperture and the knob is rotated, which results in a rotation of the grinder and dispensing of the spice through the aperture.
