Abstract: There is provided a culinary whisk comprising a body including a handle portion and a utility portion connected to the handle portion. The utility portion has a number of loops formed from a plurality of wires, wherein at least one of the wires is provided with a first portion having a non-circular cross section.

Abstract: Disclosed is a locking arrangement having a first wall defining a first surface and a second wall defining a second surface, with the first and second surfaces abutting each other; a mechanism for locking the first wall against the second wall; and a movable member. The first wall and the second wall are configured to define an enclosed channel for accommodating the movable member such that the movable member is slidable within the channel, and wherein the locking arrangement may assume one of two configurations, in that in one of the two configurations said walls are prevented from moving relative to each other by the movable member and in the other configuration said walls and hence the arms extended therefrom are movable relative to each other.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a locking arrangement having a first member and a second member, each having a front end and a rear end and with the first member and the second member connected together at a first pivot axis, a front portion, a rear portion and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a lever and a guide. The arrangement is configured to assume one of two configurations in that in a first configuration the lever is engaged in a first position due to orientation of the arrangement such that the first arm and the second arm are locked against each other, or in a second configuration in which the lever having been disengaged from the first position, or engaging or engaged in the second position, due to orientation of the apparatus such that the first arm and the second arm are movable relative to each other.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a corn scraper. The scraper has a body including a cylindrical wall defining a channel with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The channel is configured such that a core of a corn can pass. The second end is provided with a cutting edge for cutting into the roots of kernels adhered to the core, and the cylindrical wall defines an internal surface provided with a screw thread for guiding the core to rotatably pass through the cylindrical wall in a helical moving manner.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a locking arrangement having a first wall defining a surface and a second wall defining a surface with the surfaces abutting each other. The first wall is provided with a first bulge defining a first elongate groove facing a first direction and the second wall is provided with a second bulge defining a second elongate groove facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the grooves are positioned to define a channel in which a ball bearing is movable there across. The first groove has a substantially same width there across and the second groove has a narrower end and a wider end, the locking arrangement is adapted to, depending on the orientation of the channel, assume a first configuration in which the ball bearing is positioned at one end of the channel or a second configuration in which the ball bearing is positioned at the opposite end of the channel.

Abstract: A corn scraper for removing whole kernels from the core of a corn includes a handle portion and a utility portion connected to the handle portion. The utility portion includes a bridge member and a base plate. The bridge member is connected to the base plate against which an ear of corn is put in use. The bridge member is provided with at least one tooth means for engagement and cutting into the root of the kernels of the corn.

Abstract: There is provided a culinary utensil comprising a blade provided with a cutting edge on at least one side thereof, said cutting edge is formed of at least one set of taller teeth and one set of shorter teeth, wherein at least two adjacent taller teeth are separated by three to eight shorter teeth on the cutting edge.

Abstract: There is provided a combination pastry blender and culinary whisk, comprising a handle portion at one end and a connecting region connecting the handle portion and a mixing region generally in the shape of an inverted dome, wherein the mixing region is principally formed of a wire bent to form a plurality of wires arranged adjacent to each other and defining a generally convex surface for pastry blending, the bent wire being stiff enough to withstand the stress and pressure whereby in a pastry blending operation the mixing region maintains the inverted dome shape, and the bent wire also being relatively thick to be able to press onto a pasty for blending thereof but without cutting therethrough.

Abstract: There is provided a culinary whisk comprising one or more wire loops for mixing foodstuffs, the or at least one of the wire loops includes an inner metallic wire portion and an outer polymeric portion enclosing the inner portion, wherein the inner portion is provided with groove(s) along substantially the length thereof for increasing frictional contact with the outer portion or means for fixedly adhering the outer portion to the inner wire portion whereby in use relative movement between the external portion and the internal portion is reduced.

Abstract: A culinary whisk comprising an elongate handle, and a generally planar utility portion connected to the handle so as to be pivotably movable about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the handle.
