Abstract: A filter bag has at least one thread forming a pair of spaced apart first and second loops extending between a bottom and top region of the filter bag. The filter bag further has a support traversed by the thread, which forms a loop above the support. The loop is sized so a user can pull the thread and the bag upward toward the support to a squeezing position of the filter bag, wherein the bottom region thereof is lifted toward the top region.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing an image on a generally non-absorbent surface of a food item selected from the group consisting of chocolate, cheese and the like or a combination thereof includes a computer allowing an operator to create a unique template for the food item. The apparatus further includes software adjusting a scanned image to the created template and a production line controllably operating a process of making the food product that corresponds to the template. Also, the apparatus has a mechanism for treating the surface of the food item so as to directly print the image on its non-absorbent surface.

Abstract: A double container squeezing mechanism includes a first side that contacts a surface of a first container, and a second side that contacts a surface of a second container when the first and second containers are disposed adjacent to each other and within the double container squeezing mechanism. The squeezing mechanism is designed to squeeze material from within the interiors of both the first and second containers through their respective outlets as the double container squeezing mechanism is displaced towards those outlets. The squeezing mechanism also includes a device that prevents displacement of the squeezing mechanism in the direction opposite to the first and second containers' outlets.
