A device for cleaning cooking grill rails which includes an elongated blade for scraping movement along the rails, and a handle having an elongated portion connected to the blade. The blade is attached to the elongated handle portion for rotation thereabout in a plane substantially perpendicular to the elongated portion axis. The elongated blade includes a plurality of flat fingers, disposed substantially perpendicularly to the axis of the blade. The fingers are suitable for insertion between grill rails for scraping purposes. Rotation of the elongated blade about the elongated handle portion imparts a capability for using the fingers with a variety of grills where the distance between rails differs.

Grill cleaning device

A drain guard, for use in sinks having a drain, a bottom wall and a side wall, wherein the drain guard includes a screen for holding debris away from the sink drain. A seal, which abuts sealingly against the sink side wall, is disposed between the screen and the sink side wall to prevent debris from passing between the side wall and the screen, the seal and the screen being fixed in a frame which holds the screen a predetermined distance from the sink bottom. The frame includes a pair of arched bands which are useful as handles for moving the drain guard into, and out of the sink. In addition, the arched bands of a sink installed drain guard support heavy pots and other utensils away from the screen.

Drain guard

A grill cleaning device for removing unwanted residue from grill rail surfaces. The device includes an elongated handle. A rigid blade, for removing residue from the top surfaces of the rails, is mounted at one end of the handle. A deformable coiled wire, for removing residue from the side surfaces of the rails, is wrapped around the blade.

Pizza cutter

A method and apparatus for mixing and forming dough into plural discrete product units on a carrier and storing the ready to bake product, and a vending method and apparatus for separating the product from the carrier, baking the product and delivering the product, such as cookies or the like, to a customer. The mixed dough is formed into units, typically disk-like, and placed in a pattern on one or more first carrier sheets, then second carriers are applied with the product laminated between the sheets. The sheets and product can be fan-folded into containers, such as conventional boxes, which can be stored until needed. The containers are placed in a vending machine which leads the sheet assemblies to a station where the carrier sheets are removed and the product is dropped onto a surface that is moved through a convection oven for baking, then through a cooling station. The selected number of product units is dropped into a serving tray and presented to the customer. Typically, each baking cycle is initiated by the deposit of a selected amount of money into vending machine and the purchaser is notified that the freshly baked product is ready by a buzzer or the like.
