  • Patent number: 12582265
    Abstract: An item of cookware including a body having an outer wall, a base, and a handle. The handle being vertically rotatable between a first working position in which the handle is oriented to extend away from the outer wall and a second stowed position in which a major portion of the length of the handle is located extending across the body substantially parallel with the base or at a downward angle relative to the plane of the base. The handle has a proximal end and a distal end, where the proximal end is rotatably secured to an item of cookware via a connecting portion attached to one side of the cookware and the distal end having a gripping member disposed thereon. The handle includes a cavity that has a locking assembly comprising a locking member. The locking member moves between a first locked position and a second unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 7513094
    Abstract: The present invention provides a horse bit 1 comprising a pair of side cheeks 2,3 each having a cheek strap coupling portion 4 and a first cheek portion 5 mounting a respective end of a mouth-piece 7. A second cheek portion 8 is connected to the first 5 so as to be displaceable between first and second positions, and has a rein coupling portion 10. A resilient biasing means 24 acts between the first and second cheek portions 5,8 so as to resist displacement of the second cheek portion 8 relative to the first 5, when a user pulls on the reins 11, whereby transmission of force through the reins 11 to the mouth-piece 7 is modulated.
