A mincer includes a housing, a hinged door, a handle, a cam, an axle, and a plurality of circular blades mounted on the axle. Rotation of the handle or knob with respect to the housing causes rotation of the cam with respect to the housing, which in turn causes the axle and the blades mounted thereon to travel radially outward or inward with respect to the housing to extend or retract the blades out of or into the housing. The mincer can be operated to extend the blades for operation and to retract the blades for storage. The door can be closed for operation and opened for cleaning of the mincer.

A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance includes a jug (20) that has a container (21) and a handle (31,32,33) for holding the jug by an adult human hand (40). The container (21) delimits a food cavity (21′) for containing the food substance. The handle (31,32,33) has a connection member (31) projecting from the container (21) and a substantially elongated upright gripping member (32) that is connected to the connection member (31) at a distance from the container (21). The gripping member (32) has an upper portion (32a) that is above the connection member (31) and a lower portion (32b) that is below the connection member (31). The upper portion (32a) is configured to support a thumb (41) of the hand (40) and delimits with the connection member (31) an upper seat (31a) for accommodating an index finger (42) of the hand (40). The handle (31,32,33) has a confinement member (33) that extends: substantially uprightly between the container (21) and the lower portion (32b) of the gripping member (32); and downwardly from the connection member (31) or from close thereto. The confinement member (33) and the lower portion (32b) and the connection member (31) delimit a lower seat (31b) for accommodating a portion of a middle finger (43) of the hand (40).

The present invention relates to a portable insulated food container. More particularly the present invention relates to a portable insulated food container with a greater heat-retaining capacity. The portable insulated food container comprises of a vacuum insulated removable outer cover, a vacuum insulated base, a vacuum insulated base carrier, one or more non-insulated container(s), one or more detachable lid(s), a supporting base, and one or more interlocking units. Advantageously the present invention relates to a portable insulated food container with different shapes like oval, rectangle, square, hexagon, etc and sizes.

Disclosed is a thermal insulating container with a combination inner liner, which includes a cup, surrounded with a storage space and forming an open end. The inner edge of the open end has an inner locking part. An inner liner is surrounded with a bearing space and forms an opening end, wherein the inner liner is fitted in the storage space, and the opening end is provided with a screw thread section. There is a connecting part under the screw thread section. An external member is assembled on the connecting part, and there is an outer locking part on the external surface of the external member. The outer locking part is assembled with the inner locking part of the cup body. A cover has an edge which is a circumferential wall extended downwards, and is provided with a ridge section screwed on/off the screw thread section of the inner liner.

A system for manipulating heat transfer includes a thermal sleeve, a vessel and a lid. The thermal sleeve includes a first material and a second material. The vessel includes an outer wall disposed about an inner wall, the inner wall defining a reservoir configured to contain a liquid and the inner wall and outer wall defining a gap therebetween. The lid is configured to open to facilitate adding of the liquid to the reservoir. The thermal sleeve is configured to be positioned within the gap.

A method for producing a metal plate having at least one embedded temperature sensor and to a metal plate produced by the method. The metal plate is produced from a plurality of layers or plate bodies, which are diffusion-connected to each other by thermal pretreatment and subsequent rolling. A sheathed thermocouple is rolled, as the temperature sensor, into the metal plate during the production of the metal plate, or a protective tube made of metal is rolled into the metal plate, into which protective tube a sheathed thermocouple can be inserted after the metal plate has been processed further to form a cooking vessel.

A beverage container may include a base having an axis, a closed bottom, an open top and an interior cavity therebetween. The base may be formed from a material that is opaque. In addition, a vessel is configured to contain a fluid. The vessel has an opening into or from which the fluid may flow relative to an interior of the vessel. The vessel is mounted in the interior cavity of the base and extends above and beyond the open top thereof. A radial air space is located between the vessel and the base relative to the axis. The vessel may be formed from a material that is at least one of translucent or transparent. In addition, a seal may be located between the base and the vessel. Each of the base, vessel and seal may be a different material.

Disclosed herein are induction heating articles and vessels and methods for applying insulating coatings thereto. In one aspect, an induction heating vessel of the present invention includes a ferromagnetic substrate and an insulating coating layer attached to the substrate, the insulating coating layer being characterized by a thermal conductivity of less than about 1.0 W/mK and a Shore A hardness of less than about 70.

An assemble and disassemble structure for container liner and liner locking device thereof, which provides a drinking container having a mineral liner that can be replaced through the assemble and disassemble structure. The assembly is provided with an outer cylindrical sleeve, the interior of which is a holding space. The outer circumference of the upper end of the outer cylindrical sleeve is a connecting end, and the mineral liner is inserted into the outer cylindrical sleeve. A connecting ring is provided with a clasping portion, and assembling the clasping portion to the outer cylindrical sleeve enables fixing the mineral liner in a stable position in the outer cylindrical sleeve. An elastic locking device locks the connecting ring at combining angular positions.

A cooler includes a cooler body including one or more cooler walls. The cooler further includes a cover configured to be disposed around an exterior of the cooler body, the cover being sized and dimensioned to generally cover an exterior of the one or more cooler walls of the cooler body. The cover preferably includes a moisture-absorbent material. The cover also preferably includes an image, logo, symbol, or text; or a panel preferably includes the image, logo, symbol, or text, which panel is removably attachable to the cover.
