Abstract: An article of furniture has retractable and extendable wheels secured beneath each leg. The mechanism for retraction and extension is accomplished by an activation means in mechanical communication with each wheel.

Abstract: A food ingredient measuring device includes a lower enclosure, an upper enclosure; and a release assembly that passes through the upper enclosure and into the lower enclosure. The release assembly has an activation push-button that extends from the upper enclosure, a pair of connection arms, an inner wall that is at least partially within the lower enclosure and that forms an interstitial space, a seal assembly and a holding cavity. Activation of the activation/release push-button causes the release assembly to retract the seal assembly into the interstitial space to open the holding cavity to enable capture of a cooking ingredient from a bulk container. Another activation causes the release assembly to extend the seal assembly from the interstitial space to close the cavity to capture the cooking ingredient. Another activation causes the seal mechanism to open again to dispense the cooking ingredient.

Abstract: Multiple food ingredient dispensing device that include a body having a dispensing opening and an internal orifice plate that supports a release mechanism. The device either includes a carousel unit on a central axle or a carrier that turns on a bearing. The carousel unit or carrier hold a plurality of ingredient pods that contain food ingredients, and which rotate relative to the body. Rotating the ingredient pods can cause a selected one to rotate over the release mechanism. The release mechanism can then cause a controlled volume of the food ingredient to fall from associated ingredient pod. Also included are a viewing window with measurement indicia and a measurement adjust knob that adjusts the amount that falls when the release mechanism is opened. A dispensing opening then allows the food ingredient to fall out of the dispensing device.
