The present invention relates to a grilling and cooking spatula device. The spatula device easily flips and lifts delicate food items from a cooking surface without breakage and/or slippage. The spatula device includes a handle and a slightly curved spatula plate having a beveled edge and a large curvilinear surface. More specifically, the handle is generally cylindrical having a mounting groove and a pair of ergonomic grips near the ends of the handle for comfortable gripping. The spatula plate is generally rectangular and includes a continuous curvilinear sheet. A top lateral edge of the plate is fastened within the handle. The beveled leading edge of the spatula plate is used for slipping between a food item and a cooking surface thereby enabling the food item to be slid onto the spatula plate.

A sandwich making utensil includes a bread support for supporting a sandwich bread and two or more clips for holding the sandwich bread in the open configuration while fillings are added to the sandwich bread. In some embodiments, the bread support may be telescoping, foldable, flat, tub-shaped, or any combination of these.

An ergonomic cooktop scraping utensil has a planar body, a first side support, a second side support, a blade, and a handle. The blade is removably attached to a distal end of the planar body, and the handle is laterally connected between the upper ends of the first and second side supports. When force is applied to the handle, it is transmitted to the side supports and into both the proximal and distal ends of the utensil. The blade is configured to be oriented at a specified blade angle relative to the cooktop surface for efficient scraping action. The handle is designed to be operated by the heel of the palm of the user in order to minimize any moment arm, and thus strain, applied to the wrist of the user.

A teething spoon may include a feeding end with a concave, textured surface configured to retain soft food and stimulate a tongue, mouth, or gums of a teething toddler; a base having a base diameter at its greatest extent and at least one aperture capable of receiving a removable tether; a handle coupling the feeding end to the base; and a safety guard adjacent the feeding end that extends perpendicularly. The safety guard may have a perpendicular reach of about 50 mm and may include a first loop and second loop opposite and in plane with the first loop. The first and second loops may allow a cylinder of about 10 mm or about 13 mm to pass through unobstructed. The base may comprise a generally hemispherical structure that enables the teething spoon to be disposed vertically. A slot in the base may be configured to accommodate a removable tether.

A food warming device is shown and described. The food warming device includes a container having a base and at least one sidewall rising therefrom creating an interior volume. A removable lid section is secured to the end of the at least one sidewall opposite the base wherein the base, the at least one sidewall, and the removable lid include an insulative property. The interior volume of the container is partially filled with a volume of hot liquid. A handle is secured to the at least one sidewall adjacent to the removable lid.

A utensil retaining device includes a body portion having a longitudinal wall extending between a first end and a second end such that a utensil entrance is defined therebetween and an extension member connected to the body portion. The extension member contains a plurality of flexible cables therewithin such that it can be easily flexibly adapted to removably attach to various contours of upper edges and exterior surfaces of serveware. The utensil retaining device is made of a heat resistant and flexible moldable polymeric material such that the body portion moldably and flexibly grips the exterior surface of the handle of a utensil, serving utensil, tool instrument or other handheld tools.

A spatula includes a shovel portion, a reinforcing piece, a shovel handle and a coating layer. The reinforcing piece is provided on the shovel portion. The shovel handle has a connecting end connected to the reinforcing piece. The coating layer coats the shovel portion and the reinforcing piece and extends to the connecting end. The spatula has the advantages of smaller thickness, good structural strength and smaller weight.

A handheld tool includes a handle; an implement mount configured to detachably accept and to rigidly hold a user-assistive implement; an actuator assembly mounted to the handle to physically manipulate the implement mount relative to the handle; a first sensor disposed to sense an orientation of the handle; a second sensor disposed to sense an orientation of the user-assistive implement; a controller disposed in or on the handle and coupled to the actuator assembly and the first and second sensors; and memory coupled to the controller. The memory stores instructions for identifying a type of the user-assistive implement attached to the implement mount, selecting a behavior routine based upon the type of the user-assistive implement identified, and manipulating the user-assistive implement relative to the handle according to the behavior routine to aid performance of a task with the handheld tool.
