  • Patent number: 8881334
    Abstract: In one particular embodiment, a basting device incorporates a handle body, having a handle portion and a working portion, and a bristle cartridge removably coupled to the working portion of the handle body. The bristle cartridge has a set of first bristles projecting outwardly from the cartridge in a first direction and a set of second bristles projecting outwardly from the cartridge in a second direction different from the first direction. At least one of the first and second bristles has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being attached to the bristle cartridge and the distal end having a slit therein extending from the distal end toward the proximal end. The slit has a width sized to cause fluid to be drawn into the slit through capillary action when the distal end of the bristle is submerged in the fluid.

  • Publication number: 20100263549
    Abstract: An infusing apparatus or beverage container includes a container, a perforated infusion element configured to be positioned in the container, and an actuator including an activating member and an actuator body. The activating member is accessible from outside the interior space and rotatably coupled with respect to the container, and the actuator body is rotatably coupled to the infusion element, such that rotation of the actuator body with respect to the container can lower and raise the infusion element with respect to the container to selectively begin and cease an infusion process and drink the resulting beverage without having to remove herbs or tea placed in the infusion element.
