Abstract: A simplified trigger, shutter and film advance system such as for use in a camera. In a preferred embodiment the system is mounted in a housing and includes a trigger with a trigger button for pressing by the operator and a trigger point for advancing the film in a film track, a shutter which is simultaneously advanced by the trigger with the film and along a shutter track. In another embodiment suitable for use with 35 mm film, the system is mounted in a camera and includes a simplified trigger, shutter and film advance system which requires fewer components and fewer moving parts than existing cameras and which is operated by pressing the trigger which thereby advances the film and activates the shutter. In yet another embodiment suitable for use with 110 mm film, the system is mounted in a camera and includes a simplified trigger, shutter and film advance, and further includes a one piece mechanism to advance the film and activate the shutter.

Abstract: A device for improving the process of cooking fowl in a heated chamber, resulting in a cooked food that is nutritious, tasty, and low in fat content. The device includes an insert or mount that fits within the interior cavity of the fowl to be cooked. The device may also include a base plate connected to the insert or mount which is oriented vertically and holds the fowl upright to promote drainage of exuded liquidified fat. The device may also cause and/or promote convective, radiative, and conductive heating of the interior of the fowl while it is being cooked in the heated chamber. Finally, the device may contain liquids and also additives such as spices, with the liquid being vaporized and emitted through an aperture in the top portion of the insert or mount and then perfused through and forced out from the interior cavity of the fowl.
