Abstract: A utensil may include a utensil body and a handle comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion hingedly coupled to the utensil body. The first portion is movably coupled to the second portion to enable the handle to be configured into an open state and a closed state. The open state permits the utensil body to hingedly move with respect to the first portion between a first position in which the utensil body is operatively usable by a user. A second position in which the utensil body is stored within the handle, and the closed state includes the handle enclosing the utensil body.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a body of a plurality of interconnected pet treats, and a dispenser for dispensing the treats to a pet. The body can comprise a mass of edible extruded, poured, or molded material, that is shaped so that individual treats can be broken or cut off. The treats can be interconnected by a portion of the edible extruded, poured, or molded material that is thinner in a certain area to facilitate the separation of the treats. The dispenser uses a housing, treat sleeve, and trigger sleeve so that a user can load the treats into the treat sleeve, and selectively eject individual treats semi-automatically.

Abstract: A multi reservoir dispenser includes a first reservoir for holding a first fluid and a second reservoir for holding a second fluid. The dispenser further includes first pump mechanism that includes a first displaceable plunger and a first plunger cavity that is disposed along a first flow path for receiving the first fluid and a second displaceable plunger and a second plunger cavity for receiving the second fluid. An actuator includes a selector and an actuator that are movable between: (a) a first position in which only the first plunger of the pump mechanism is actuated for discharging only the first fluid through a first orifice of a fluid dispensing manifold by causing the first fluid to flow along a first flow path; and (b) a second position in which only the second plunger of the pump mechanism is actuated for discharging only the second fluid through a second orifice of the fluid dispensing manifold by causing the second fluid to flow along a second flow path.

Abstract: A multi reservoir dispenser includes a first reservoir for holding a first fluid and a second reservoir for holding a second fluid. The dispenser further includes a pump mechanism that includes a pivotable trigger and a first plunger cavity that is disposed along the first flow path for receiving the first fluid and a second plunger cavity for receiving the second fluid. The pump mechanism also includes a first plunger that is disposed and movable within the first plunger cavity and a second plunger that is disposed and movable within the second plunger cavity.

Abstract: A ball-launching device includes a housing, ball holder, elastomeric member, cocking member, latch, and trigger assembly. The housing has an opening at a first end defining an elongated cavity. The ball holder is disposed in the cavity and slidable in an axial direction from a first position proximate to the opening at the housing first end, to a second position. The elastomeric member is selectively arranged within the housing to bias the ball holder toward the first position. The cocking member includes a first portion disposed outside of the housing, being usable to move the ball holder into a cocked position, where the latch opposes the bias of the elastomeric member and releasably secures the cocking member and the ball holder. Actuating the trigger assembly releases the latch, permitting the elastomeric member to accelerate the ball holder towards the housing first end to launch the ball therefrom.

Abstract: The sifter of the present disclosure uses a pull cord in communication to assist with the sifting of a powdered substance (e.g., flour, sugar). A user places the substance to be sifted into the open end of a top container and actuates the pull cord, which in turn rotates a blade to agitate the powder and help it pass through a screen into a lower container. This design allows a user to keep their hands from touching the powdered product, and for simple cleanup.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a spotlight having a clamp that can be affixed to objects. Advantageously, the spotlight can be used portably, or affixed to an object for hands-free use. The head of the spotlight can pivot, and also rotate fully, to provide a variety of lighting angles. The body of the spotlight can include a battery compartment that is sealed to satisfy applicable waterproofing standards.

Abstract: The dispensing system of the present disclosure provides a convenient way for a user to dispense product onto a workpiece, food product, or similar item. A foot pedal can be connected to one end of a cable, and a plunger can be connected to a second end of the cable. The plunger can have two members or levers that compress toward each other when the user steps on the pedal, drawing the cable taut.
