Hand Manipulable Shaker Type Patents (Class 222/196.1)
  • Patent number: 8955687
    Abstract: The present invention may be used for separation of plant extract material from plant material. A tubular container with an open first end and a closed second end may be constructed of a rigid material. A plant material may be place in the tubular container. The tubular container may be inserted in a tubular screening container having an open first end and a screen covered second end to position the screen covered second end over the open first end of the tubular container. The separation apparatus may then be shaken with the screen covered second end over a surface for receipt of extract material. A frozen material, for example, dry ice, may be placed in the tubular container with the plant material as part of the process method.

    Abstract: A vibrating device is provided that comprises body with a first chamber having a housing therein and a bottom open end and a base securable to the bottom open end. The vibrating device further comprises a serial electrical circuit that comprises a battery; an electric motor secured to the housing, the motor provided with a rotatable shaft having an eccentric weight mounted thereon; a bulb having walls made of low electric conductivity material; a first and a second electrical bulb wire, each extending through the walls with an end extending into the bulb, and at least one bead made of high electric conductivity material provided in the bulb. The bulb is configured so that when the device is tilted beyond a predetermined angle, the bead comes into simultaneous contact with the bulb wires, so that the motor and the battery are electrically engaged allowing the device to vibrate, and when the device is below the predetermined angle, the device does not vibrate.

  • Patent number: 6470737
    Abstract: A device for metering flowable products, such as products in the form of powder, granules, or microspheres, usable, for example, for the preparation of treatment baths, such as baths for dyeing, comprises at least one passage for the material to be delivered, the passage leading to a diaphragm. The aforesaid diaphragm can be moved according to a vibratory motion produced, for example, by a vibrating member mounted on the device. Preferably, the diaphragm carries, associated to it, a further diaphragm, which, in conditions of fine dispensing, comes up against the first diaphragm, so as to achieve, by the effect of the common vibratory motion, an action antagonistic to the formation of aggregates or micro-aggregates in the material to be delivered.

  • Patent number: 6352180
    Abstract: A condiment dispenser that has a handle of sufficient length to reduce the forces necessary to dispense condiments and/or make the dispenser safe to use over a backyard barbecue grill. In one version, one end of the handle has an attached cylinder having grooves or slots and two or more condiment containers have protrusions that engage the slots so that the containers may be mounted and de-mounted as in a bayonet coupling. Opposite the protrusion end, the containers have lids and rotatable tops, each having a hole or holes that allow regulation of the flow of condiments out of the containers. Another version uses a unitary lid and top having multiple protrusions and at least one hole, so that when secured to the handle, tenderizing and marinading can be undertaken at the same time. Other versions relate to various ways of securing the condiment containers to the handle.
