GARLIC PROCESSOR
20170181563 · 2017-06-29 ·

A garlic processor can include a container and at least one of a bristle and a blade edge. The container can extend along a central longitudinal axis between first and second ends. The container can include first and second members selectively engageable with one another. At least one of the first and second members can be configured to receive one or more cloves of garlic when the first and second members are disengaged with one another. The first and second members can cooperate to define a chamber when the first and second members are engaged with one another. The at least one of the bristle and the blade edge can project away from a side wall of the container into the chamber toward the axis and be directed toward one of the first and second ends.

Dunnage conversion machine and method

A dunnage conversion machine (36) converts a sheet stock material into a dunnage product that is relatively thicker and less dense than the stock material, but is relatively thin and sufficiently flexible to function as a protective wrap. The conversion machine includes a feed mechanism (40) that advances a sheet stock material therethrough and a connecting mechanism (42) downstream of the feed mechanism. The connecting mechanism retards the passage of the sheet stock material therethrough by feeding the stock material therethrough at a slower rate than the feed mechanism feeds the stock material to the connecting mechanism. This causes the stock material to randomly crumple in a longitudinal space between the feed mechanism and the connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism connects multiple overlapping layers of sheet stock material together as they pass therethrough, including connecting at least one crumpled sheet to one side of one other sheet.

FLOODABLE PEELING VESSEL
20250151770 · 2025-05-15 ·

A floodable peeling device having a vessel with an interior cavity surrounded by an interior wall, an inlet proximal to a first end and off-center relative to a center axis, an outlet proximal to a second end, a section of the interior cavity intermediate the first end and the second end having a circular cross-section and a plurality of peeling members supported within the interior cavity and proximal to the interior wall. A stream of fluid enters the interior cavity through the inlet and a plurality of bodies having peels thereon are introduced into the interior cavity proximal to the inlet. The stream of fluid causes the plurality of bodies to be moved in a spiraling pattern within the interior cavity of the vessel, thereby causing the bodies to engage the plurality of peeling members, each of which, upon engagement with a body, removes a piece of the peel.
