Comestible product press
DCFirst Claim
1. A comestible product press comprising:
- a first handle having first and second ends;
a second handle having first and second ends, wherein the first and second handles are hingedly connected to one another at their first ends;
a first protrusion on the first handle, the first protrusion being a single, continuous, convex structure extending toward the second handle when the first and second handles are positioned to define an acute angle therebetween;
a second protrusion on the second handle, the second protrusion extending away from the first handle when the first and second handles are positioned to define an acute angle therebetween; and
an intermediate member moveably connected to at least one of the first and second handles, wherein the intermediate member substantially fills the space between the first and second protrusions when the first and second handles are brought together, the intermediate member comprising a plurality of apertures,wherein the first protrusion and the intermediate member, upon being brought together, define a first space therebetween sized to receive a first comestible product, andwherein the second protrusion and the intermediate member, upon being brought together, define a second space therebetween sized to receive a second comestible product, the second space being substantially the same shape as, but larger than, the first space.

5. A comestible product press comprising:
-
a first handle having a handle recess; a second handle hingedly connected to the first handle, the second handle having a convex handle protrusion extending toward the handle recess in the first handle when the first and second handles are positioned to define an acute angle therebetween; and an intermediate member disposed between the first and second handles and moveably connected to at least one of the first and second handles, the intermediate member comprising a continuous surface defining a convex intermediate protrusion and a concave intermediate recess, the intermediate member surface having a plurality of apertures therethrough; wherein the surface contours of the handle recess and the intermediate recess are substantially the same shape, and the surface contours of the handle protrusion and the intermediate protrusion are substantially the same shape, wherein the handle protrusion and the intermediate recess, upon being brought together, define a first space therebetween sized to receive a first comestible product, and wherein the handle recess and the intermediate protrusion, upon being brought together, define a second space therebetween sized to receive a second comestible product, the second space being substantially the same shape as, but larger than, the first space. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A comestible product press comprising:
-
a first member having a handle portion and a concave first recess disposed at one end of the handle portion, wherein the first recess is a single, undivided space; a second member having a handle portion and a convex first protrusion disposed at one end of the handle portion, the first protrusion shaped complementary to the first recess, wherein the first and second members are moveably connected together adjacent the first recess and first protrusion, the first and second members movable between an open and closed position; and an intermediate member moveably connected to at least one of the first and second members, the intermediate member comprising a concave second recess and a convex second protrusion, wherein the intermediate member is disposed between the first protrusion and the first recess when the first and second members are in the closed position, wherein the intermediate member is a substantially closed structure except for a plurality of apertures therein, wherein the first protrusion and the second recess, upon being brought together, define a first space therebetween sized to receive a first comestible product, and wherein the second protrusion and the first recess, upon being brought together, define a second space therebetween sized to receive a second comestible product, the second space being substantially the same shape as, but larger than, the first space. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
