  • Publication number: 20240002137
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system that uses a lever action hand grip that can include an adjustable receiver for a variety of diameters, form factors, and other variables for different containers of liquids or aerosols that are desired to be dispensed. A linkage connects the lever action hand-grip to a working end. The working end moves in arcuate fashion in response to pivoting of the lever. The proportional working end motion path can serve to both push down an aerosol spray head to dispense, or laterally push or pump other types of dispensing heads. Optionally, the linkage can have at least one, and sometimes two or three, different adjustments for such things as size and location of a dispensing head for a variety of dispensing containers and types, range of motion, type of interface at the working end, and specifically what type of working end relative to a dispensing head of a container or bottle.

  • Patent number: 4483240
    Abstract: A cooking utensil for the deep fat frying of certain food items such as spring rolls and the like by immersion into hot liquid such as cooking oils which includes a food container with an opening for insertion and removal of the food. A piston-like member is slidably moveable within the food container, having one end abutting any food that is inserted into the container and a second end extending externally of the container. A control means, which is selectively activated by the user, causes the piston member to be positioned along a range of positions from a first position farthest away from the opening of the food container to a second position closest to the opening so that upon completion of deep fat frying, the control means can cause the piston member to slidably push the food contained in the food container at least partially out of the opening for easy removal.
