Container with child-resistant lid release and microdosing
A container tin includes a container base with one or more storage compartments for ingestible products, and a reclosable lid with child-resistant (CR) features. The container incorporates mechanisms for creating and storing microdoses of edibles or medicaments. The CR reclosable container contains closure mechanisms, such as a latching pin and catch assembly, that present difficulties to a child attempting to open the container but that a properly trained adult can operate without undue problems to open the container. The container includes a cutter at the lid and a cutting support assembly at the base. A user places a product on the cutting support assembly, then closes the container lid to cut the product in two. This procedure can be used with cannabis products or similar psychoactive products to create microdoses below a threshold quantity that creates a perceptible psychoactive effect in the user.
Pill crushing assembly
A pill crushing assembly for crushing and cutting a pill includes a plunger unit that may be manipulated. A base is provided and the base may be positioned on a support surface. A pill is selectively positioned on the base. The plunger unit is selectively positioned on the base. Thus, the plunger unit selectively crushes the pill on the base.

PILL SPLITTER
A device for splitting a pill comprising a pill splitter, including a base slidingly engaged with a jaw. The base and the jaw each include a cutting edge. The jaw slidingly engages to the base to permit the jaw and base to slide and allow the cutting edge of the jaw and the base to split a pill. A lid pivotally engages to the pill splitter to retain the pill within an interior space while two or more flexible guides positioned on a pair of central portions retain the pill in a suitable position to split the pill via the cutting edge. The suitable position of the guides is achieved via a plurality of levers to retain the pill in a central region of the pill splitter.

CUTTING DEVICE FOR PROCESSING PRODUCT UNITS
A device includes a blade, which is movable within an associated working space for cutting product units, and a conveying device in which the product units can be individually conveyed into the working space of the blade. The conveying device includes at least one two-part conveying channel associated with the blade, in which on one side first conveyor elements and on the other side second conveyor elements are guided, which are assigned to one another in pairs and which have each a recess for partially receiving a separated product unit. The sides of the first and second conveyor elements, which are facing one another, delimit therebetween the free working space, so that the blade is guidable within the working space partially or completely through the product units held in the first and second conveyor elements which correspond to one another.
SLICER
A bagel slicer includes a frame. A pusher assembly translates along a slicing path within the frame between an open position and a sliced position. At least one blade is positioned within the slicing path. Movement of the pusher assembly along the slicing path from the open position to the sliced position translates a bagel along the slicing path about the at least one blade to slice the bagel. Movement of the pusher assembly along the slicing path from the sliced position to the open position returns the sliced bagel to the open position of the pusher assembly.

PILL CUTTER DEVICE
A pill cutter device for simultaneously cutting one or more pills and a method of using the same. The pill cutter device includes a lower housing having a top wall and a pair of rails that extends longitudinally along the top wall and are movable laterally toward and away from each other. A pill holder is engaged on each rail and is slidable longitudinally therealong towards and away from a retaining wall. Each rail includes a resilient pad and pills placed on the top wall are moved by the rails and pill holder into alignment with the longitudinal axis of the device. The pills are captured and held immobile between the two resilient pads, the pill holders, and the retaining wall. An upper housing is movable toward the lower housing and downward movement thereof brings a longitudinally aligned cutter blade into contact with the pills to cut the same.
Automated Systems for Dispensing Food Products
A system includes a hopper, a permeable seal, a gas supply, and a receiver. The hopper includes an elongated housing holding a row of food products. The elongated housing defines a pressurized end opposite a discharge end through which the food products are dispensed. The permeable seal is interposed between an interior wall of the hopper and a surface of the piston. The permeable seal cooperates with the hopper and the piston to define a closed volume between the piston and the pressurized end. The permeable seal is configured to bleed gas from the closed volume toward the discharge end. The gas supply selectively supplies gas into the closed volume to displace the piston toward the discharge end. The receiver receives food products dispensed from the elongated housing and is positioned to allow the food products to move along at least partially by gravity.
