Abstract:

A method for replacing a tag tool needle includes securing at least a portion of a tag tool needle coupled to a tag tool in a needle container; and removing the tag tool needle from the tag tool with the needle container. A tag tool needle container includes a first tubular aperture adapted to receive at least a portion of a first tag tool needle therein, where the first tubular aperture has a compression-fit adapted to securely enclose the portion of the first tag tool needle when urged over the first tag tool needle; and a second tubular aperture coupled to the first tubular aperture and adapted to receive at least a portion of a second tag tool needle therein, where the second tubular aperture has a compression-fit adapted to adapted to securely enclose the portion of the second tag tool needle when urged over the second tag tool needle.

US Classification:

99441

Abstract:

A roller grill divider assembly includes a frame adapted to rest upon on a roller grill and one or more dividers securable to the frame. The roller grill includes multiple tubes having outer surfaces adapted to transfer heat to a pre-cooked food product. The one or more dividers are in contact with the multiple tubes and are adapted to adjust along a length of the frame to multiple positions such that the pre-cooked food product is substantially prevented from passing beneath the one or more dividers.

Appl. No.:

14/960588

Inventors:

Raymond E. Davis - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

A47J 37/04

Abstract:

A roller grill for hot dogs and other comestibles possessing a cabinet having an array of rotationally driven heat tubes, each with an outer surface heated by an internal heating element. Mounting plates at sides of the roller grill are configured to support a plurality of axles that are adapted to mate with a gear at distal ends of each heat tube. The gears of the heat tubes are held in parallel alignment by the axles, and are driven by one or more idler gears and one or more drive gears powered by one or more motors. Disposed between an output shaft of the motor and a drive gear, is a slip clutch that disengages power to the drive gear and thereby pauses rotation of the heat tubes if enough rotational resistance is encountered. Heat containment panels with a curvature on an uppermost portion are mountable to sides of the roller grill to reduce heat loss from the peripheral rows of heat tubes and thereby stabilize the temperature gradient of the heat tube array.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Raymond E. Davis - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

E06B 7/36

Abstract:

A hinge stile gap blocking apparatus and a method designed to prevent hand and finger injuries resulting from inadvertent door closures. The apparatus includes a hinge gap cover for use with an existing hinged door and door surround configured to continuously occlude the hinge stile gap between a door jamb and the outer facing edge of a door hinge stile. The hinge stile gap blocking apparatus has a curved portion that is shaped to track the arc of an inner edge of the door hinge stile when the door is pivoted from an open to closed position and from the closed to the open position. The apparatus is sufficiently rigid so that fingers cannot pry around the curved portion and thus risk exposure to the hinge stile gap of the door. When the door is pivoted on the hinges of the door, the inner edge of the door hinge stile traces a curved path and follows the curved portion so that the hinge stile gap is occluded at all times.

Appl. No.:

14/568482

Inventors:

Raymond E Davis - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

E06B 7/36

Abstract:

This invention relates to an apparatus and to a method designed to prevent hand and finger injuries resulting from inadvertent door closures. The apparatus for use with an existing door and door surround includes a door latching mechanism mountable to the door having a reversibly extendable bolt actuated by a turning member, a striker member mountable to the door surround wherein a portion of the striker member projects beyond the door surround, and when the bolt is extended, complete door closure is impeded by the projecting portion of the striker member with a gap width created between the leading edge of the door and the door surround sufficient to protect human hands and fingers from being crushed, injured, or amputated. When the bolt is intentionally retracted complete door closure is permitted. The apparatus is designed to be interchangeable with standard sized door knobs, latching mechanisms, lock assemblies, and striker plates.
