Abstract: A garlic press including a pivotally joined base and handle with an intermediate press plate pivoted therebetween and cooperating with the base in defining a receiving chamber selectively receiving an enlarged pressure block formed on the handle. The press plate includes a bladed cutter assembly engageable with the upper surface of the base for the severing of a base supported item, the base itself having an elongate hand receiving opening formed therein to define an upper hand grip functioning in conjunction with the handle to manipulate the press, and a lower base support, below the opening, for a direct supporting engagement of the base on a support surface allowing operation of the press by a direct downward pressure on the handle against a surface supported base.
Abstract: A modular display rack having a main panel from which extends a support shelf for holding the articles to be displayed. A handle aperture extends through the main panel. The main panel includes a rear support foot with a connector portion which mates with a connector section on the top edge of the main panel, and a connector prong extending from its rear face at a position to engage the handle aperture when the connector portion mates with the connector section. The main panel may also include a male snap connector and a female snap connector positioned to secure the modular connector racks together with rear faces of the main panels opposed. Multiple modular display racks may thus be assembled together.
