Abstract: A chuck brake is secured to a hand-held reversibly rotatable drill of the variable speed type having a chuck. The chuck brake permits selective tightening or loosening of the chuck by operation of the drill. Brake shoes surround and are adapted to engage at least a portion of the peripheral surface of a housing of the chuck, being secured to the front of a drill on opposite sides of the chuck. The brake shoes are manually engageable by pinching action of the user for movement between a first position permitting free rotation of the chuck housing and a second position providing friction between the brake shoes and a first area of the chuck housing. In the second position, rotation of the chuck housing in one direction is impeded, as for tightening. The brake shoes are shiftable also toward the drill to a third position in which increased friction with the chuck housing is provided to impede rotation of the chuck housing in an opposite direction, as for loosening of the chuck.

Abstract: A method for preparing fowl for eating which comprises preliminarily effecting a series of spaced incisions upon the fowl which approximate, but do not extend to, the underlying bone; rubbing into the meat of the fowl, as well as the incisions, salt and then lime juice. A marinade comprising garlic, ginger, yogourt, cooking oil, salt, chili powder, and food coloring is then applied to the fowl and within the aforesaid incisions. A period of refrigeration is then accorded the fowl for conducing to absorption of the marinade and after such period the fowl is allowed to return to room temperature. Thereupon the same is subjected to an oven preheated to a temperature of approximately 800.degree. F. for a predetermined period of time and subsequently after removal has applied thereto a spice preparation.

Abstract: An oven rack engageable with a chain for movement through a tunnel type oven comprising an open rectangular frame having a leading side, a trailing side, and outer and inner ends, there being a plurality of axially parallel spaced apart wire-like rods extending between said sides and being secured at their ends thereto defining a support for articles of food, or for vessels containing same; said frame being mounted upon runners, and a pin secured to said frame and engageable with the chain. A guide element is provided on the inner end of said frame for abutting the conveying chain to inhibit swinging of said rack during travel.
