The present invention relates to a valve to be used when blowing air into squeezing pads from a high pressure blower such as a side duct blower, said valve comprising a valve chamber comprising a primary set of openings with a first opening connected to said high pressure blower and a second opening connected to said squeezing pads, whereby air can be transferred through said valve chamber between said squeezing pads and said high pressure blower, said valve chamber further comprising a third opening, whereby air from said first opening can pass through said third opening, and where air not passing through said third opening passes through said second opening, said valve further comprising a valve spool for blocking said third opening and thereby changing the amount of air passing through said third opening. The valve spool for blocking said third opening comprises a limiter element, wherein said limiter element and/or said third opening has a varying diameter along its longitudinal axis, where the limiter element is adapted to be inserted along its longitudinal axis in said third opening, and where the extent of insertion of said limiter element changes the amount of air passing through said third opening. The invention further relates to a lift head with the above valve.

A base for a food processing system is provided including a housing configured to couple with a complementary container. The housing includes a bottom surface. At least one suction device is mounted to the bottom surface and is configured to adhere the base to an adjacent surface. At least one release mechanism is mounted to mounted generally flush with an outer surface of the housing. The at least one release mechanism is operably coupled to at least one suction device and is movable between a first position and a second position to release the at least one suction device from the adjacent surface.

The present invention relates to a device and method for easily attaching and removing a utensil made of wire or similar material to a handle that can vary in diameter and length. The invention affords a utensil that generally requires a long handle, the ability to be easily attached and removed from the handle so that it is easy to store, carry, and clean. This invention also allows a utensil to attach to a handle of various diameters and lengths to fit the specific needs of the user and the handle materials available. The device can be easily removed and reused on different sized handles.

A leveraging can holder enables secure retention of a paint can, and performs multiple functions pertinent to the can. The can holder has a sufficiently elongated and rigid composition, such that a leveraging effect can be applied on the can for supporting the can and performing functions to the can that require leveraging. Different regions of the can holder pivotally engage the can, enabling the can holder to brace against the side of the can to create a rigid support for holding the can. Thus, it is possible to support the can with one hand while manipulating the contents of the can with a second hand. The can holder pivots relative to the can to form three centers of rotation along its length, like a lever. The can holder has variously sized and dimensioned flanges, holes, and extensions that also use leveraging forces to perform functions.

A carrying assembly includes a support that may be worn on an arm of a user. The support may have a hot object place thereon thereby facilitating the user to carry the hot object without being burned by the hot object. The support comprises a tube that may be worn on the user's arm. A pad is coupled to the tube such that the pad may have the hot object positioned thereon. A grip is coupled to the tube such that the grip may be gripped.

A pan lifting device configured to grip a pan of a balance with a positive fit has a pincer-shaped end (12) and a handle (14). A blade-shaped supporting projection (16) of the pan lifting device is configured to accommodate the bottom (28) of the pan and a bent-over beak (18) of the pan lifting device is configured to clamp the rim (30) of the pan.

A container lifting and pouring tool is described. The tool includes a top piece connected to a bottom piece by at least one connecting bar. The container lifting and pouring tool further includes a handle piece connected to the at least one connecting bar. A user grabs the handle of the tool and positions the bottom piece of the container lifting and pouring tool under a container. The user is able to pour out the contents of the container by holding the handle and optionally also holding a top or side or a handle of the container for additional support and tilting the container and pouring out the inner contents of the container. The tool as a supporting device to reduce the strain and weight of repeatedly pouring out contents of the container, including when the container is a bucket.

A device for carrying a substrate, for example a drinking cup, and clamping against the substrate, for example against an outer wall of the drinking cup, a clamping sheet, wherein the clamping sheet comprises a flexible and bendable material with a width and a length, said length being measured between longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet, wherein coupling members are provided at longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet, said coupling members comprising rods protruding in the width direction of the clamping sheet. The device is characterized in that the device comprises first recesses for receiving rods of a first width side that are positioned at opposite longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet and comprises second recesses for receiving rods of a second width side that are positioned at opposite longitudinal ends of the clamping sheet, and the device comprises a support member for carrying the device and the substrate.
