Abstract: A hand grip formed or molded on the handle for a cooking utensil for preventing peeling of the inner end of the hand grip from the handle and thereby limiting the migration of food particles into the space between the hand grip and the handle, the hand grip being molded onto the handle and interconnected through one or more openings in the inner end of the handle.

Abstract: A product serving apparatus includes an apportioning scoop, a product separation assembly for separating the product from the scoop, a hand operated actuator assembly for driving the product separation assembly, and an integral handle and support assembly affixed to the scoop. The handle assembly provides a substantially smooth exterior which is impermeable to soil or food product. The handle assembly provides a crevice-free exterior extending over the entire distance between its ends.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting articles comprising a transporting well having a generally planar polygonal bottom and a plurality of walls, each of which walls being joined substantially at its upper extremity by a substantially rigid bead structure which defines a peripheral channel adjacent the plurality of walls outboard of the well. The channel is bounded by the plurality of walls, by a web extending substantially from the upper extremities of the walls, and by a skirt depending from the web. The skirt extends a greater distance from the web in the vicinity of the corners of the well than elsewhere. The apparatus includes a channel-filling structure substantially at the center of each section of longer skirt length for precluding jamming during stacking, and stand-off ridges on the outboard side of each wall for limiting the expanse of contact area between the walls and abutting planar surfaces.
