Patent number: 11723491Abstract: A salad spinner includes a lid having a pull ring supported thereon and a strainer bowl having a strainer basket supported therein, the strainer basket having a pivotable strainer handle mounted on a chopper. The pull ring is configured to be angularly displaced away from the lid to impart a spinning motion to the strainer basket within the strainer bowl. The strainer handle defines a centrally disposed strainer aperture. The lid has a hex shaft that is removably coupled to the strainer aperture of the strainer handle. The hex drive shaft is further removably coupled to a hex opening of a chopper rod of a chopper. The hex drive shaft initiates the spinning motion to chop salad and to dry salad independently of each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: LIFETIME BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Matthew Krus, Ian Morgan, Sami Piercy

Publication number: 20220408960Abstract: A citrus juicer includes a vessel configured to receive a cone segment, the cone segment defining a conduit extending from a shaft and a plurality of slits extending circumferentially thereon, a rubber spring vertically aligned with an opening of the conduit, and a reamer element in operable communication with the rubber spring. The rubber spring is fixedly mounted to a sprint support member, the spring support member coupled to the conduit extending from the shaft of the cone segment. The rubber spring further defines a centrally disposed projection. When a force is applied to a top portion of the reamer element, the rubber spring is in a compressed state such that the centrally disposed projection engages the spring support element to displace the reamer element in a vertical direction with respect to the shaft of the cone element.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Matthew KRUS, Ian MORGAN, Sami PIERCY

Publication number: 20220387944Abstract: A stirring implement includes a stirrer having a single stir rod defining a generally triangular shape at a distal end thereof, a rotating guide defining a slot, wherein the single stir rod of the stirrer is inserted through the slot of the rotating guide such that the single stir rod is positioned at an angle with respect to a planar surface of the rotating guide, and a lid releasably engageable to the rotating guide. The stirrer has a handle at a proximal end thereof and the handle rotates circumferentially beyond an outer perimeter of the lid. An apex defined by the single stir rod travels circumferentially along an inner wall of an outer perimeter of a container attached to the lid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Matthew KRUS, Ian MORGAN, Sami PIERCY
