  • Patent number: 6560894
    Abstract: This device aids in the drying or curing process of a turkey tail. The device consists of a flat surface (back plate) with holes and dowels to tack the individual primary turkey tail feathers in a desired drying position. Also, the lower section of the back plate consists of a tray used to contain a chemical that will hasten the drying time. A stabilizing block is placed in the chemical tray over the meaty part of the turkey tail and fastened to the back plate with a bolt and wing nut. The device and the turkey tail can then be placed upright in a small space, or hung on a nail or screw using the slot on the rear of the back plate, for the drying duration.

  • Publication number: 20020038519
    Abstract: A corona discharge apparatus 2 is provided as an ionized gas irradiation means above a plate 3 on which a textile product 2 is placed. The ionized gas E generated by the corona discharge apparatus 4 is irradiated to the textile product 2 and the textile product is activated. The ionized gas E penetrates into the textile product 2 from surface to back under the influence of the magnetic field generated by the plate 3. The textile product 2 is fully ionized from surface to back by this method and apparatus.
