Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5a, a first embodiment of the present inventions comprises piston 20, upper sleeve 22, lower sleeve 24 which includes integral segmented tip 26, and finger grip nut 28.

[0025]FIG. 3 shows an exploded view of the assembly of these parts. FIGS. 1 and 2 show exterior views of the first embodiment, and FIGS. 4 through 5a show sections taken through the first embodiment.

[0026]Each of the constituent parts of the first embodiment may be made by any suitable manufacturing means. As an example, and not by way of any limitation, each of the parts could be injection molded out of polypropylene, polycarbonate, or other suitable material.

[0027]Piston 20 is essentially a pair of orthogonally crossed ribs with several orthogonal disks spaced along its length and capping both its ends. Capping disk 30 acts as a finger pressure applicator to piston 20. Intermediate disks 40 may also be used to apply finger pressure to piston 20. Capping disk 32 presses against mate...

Abstract

A device to inject solid materials into foods comprising a piston, a sleeve, and a penetrating tip. Embodiments are described with both segmented and unitary sleeves. Deformation of the tip during storage is minimized by biasing members which withdraw the piston from the tip when an embodiment is not in use. A method is described for flavoring foods with solid objects.
