Patent number: 4935258Abstract: A fruit juice mix suitable for hard pack product made essentially from natural ingredients containing at least one fruit juice source in association with about 0.05 to 1.5 percent by weight of various stabilizers and preferably 0.30 to 0.60 percent xanthan gum based upon the total weight of the mix. An amount of water and other ingredients such that the blend has a brix value of greater than about 10 to aobut 35 and for more desirable results of 20 to 30 and preferably 20 to 25. No refined sugar or corn sweetener is added in or to the blend. Moreover, the juice mix can be frozen to form a hard pack material that can be stored at lower temperatures, usually minus 18.degree. C. and lower for days and then be warmed to minus 5 to minus 10.degree. C. and be scooped out to be served and eaten without the appearance of being too icy, coarse, crumbly or gummy but exhibits a smooth, fine creamy texture and superior melt characteristics relative to soft pack.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1989Date of Patent: June 19, 1990Assignee: J.M. Smucker Co.Inventors: Bill R. Wade, Thelma L. Wade

Patent number: 4918857Abstract: A pest collection-disposal device includes a means for establishing an air stream in an air duct forming at least a segment of a housing for the device. Positioned in the duct is a disposable pest collection cartridge. The cartridge comprises an elongated body having a flexible closure means and a filter means. The closure means deflects under the influence of an air stream from a closed position to provide an entrance thereto for insects entrained in the air stream. The filter means separates insects from the air stream. Upon termination of air flow, the flexible closure member is restored to an initial position to entrap the pest between the flap and filter means. The duct in one embodiment includes an expandable and retractable array of elongated telescoping members. In a further embodiment, the cartridge is positioned in one of the elongated duct members.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1988Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Assignee: Bilou, Inc.Inventors: Bill R. Wade, Thelma L. Wade

Patent number: 4830868Abstract: A fruit juice shake mix is provided which can be stored in bulk packages such as a gallon to several gallon containers or as individual essentially a single person quantity in unit packages of usually several to a dozen individual containers such as cans or rectangular cartons. The fruit juice shake mix may be blended in a freezer to incorporate air or frozen and then air blended in to give about 40 to about 150% overrun and a viscosity suitable to be drawn into the mouth by a straw.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1987Date of Patent: May 16, 1989Assignee: Olympus Industries, Inc.Inventors: Bill R. Wade, Thelma L. Wade
