Abstract: The present invention concerns animal kennels or crates that provide a means for housing, containing and training animals, and in particular, domesticated house pets such as dogs and cats. The crate is collapsible so that it can be disassembled and transported in a convenient fashion. The crate is comprised of side panels, end panels and a top panel that define the boundaries of the crate. These panels are secured together through the use of edge pieces that are strong enough to maintain the integrity of the crate when placed under the stresses associated with an animal trying to escape, while also being flexible enough to provide for an easy means of assembling and disassembling the crate. Corner caps are placed on the corners of the crate and a removable base can be clipped to the crate. The edge pieces and corner cap also provides the crate with an aesthetically appealing appearance that reduces the perception of crates being cruel to the animal.

Abstract: A dispensing head having a plurality of prong-like nozzles is useful for impregnating meat with tenderizing and flavoring liquids. It may be fitted onto a pressure dispenser of the conventional type containing a bag to hold the liquid, a gas pressure space thereabout, and a reciprocable dispensing valve. The head so utilized has an inlet leading to a flushable chamber communicating to several prong-liked nozzles which project on parallel axes from a meat pressing surface, preferably having a rim. Pressing this surface so spreads the meat against the sides of the nozzles as to seal them against the escape of liquid dispensed under superatmospheric pressure, thus forcing it to impregnate the meat. The dispensing head is readily flushed; and provisions are made for re-mounting on the valve stem without discharging the contents of the container.

Abstract: A dispenser head having a plurality of prong-like nozzles is useful for impregnating meat with tenderizing and flavoring liquids, and similar purposes. It may be fitted to a conventional pressurized dispenser of the type having a tubular stem. Preferably constructed in two parts, the lower or manifold part has a bottom inlet; the upper or outlet part has a number of prong-like nozzles on parallel axes; and interfitting portions provide sealed passages to distribute the dispensed liquid to the nozzles.
