A device for handling seeds and grains, suitable for use in food processing and/or preparation, is disclosed. This device features a semi-spherical bowl with perforations, a wiper that is activated by engaging the handle, and measuring lines on the semi-spherical bowl.
1. A device comprising:
a perforated semi-spherical mesh container;
the perforated semi-spherical mesh container bearing at least one measurement indicator line;
a wiper aligned to closely slide along the inner surface of the perforated semi-spherical mesh container when rotated;
where the wiper is made with a flat edge that curves upwards in the middle, arranged so that the flat edge slides along the inside circumference of the mesh container, and the wiper is made of a plastic, silicone or rubber material: and
means for rotating said wiper.
2. The device of claim 1 , where a reinforcing strip runs along a half circle of the outer surface of the semi-spherical mesh container.
3. A device comprising:
a perforated semi-spherical mesh container;
the perforated semi-spherical mesh container bearing at least one measurement indicator line;
a wiper aligned to closely slide along the inner surface of the perforated semi-spherical mesh container when rotated; and
means for rotating said wiper;
where the means for rotating said wiper comprises a handle adapted so that squeezing the handle rotates the wiper; and
where the wiper is made with a flat edge that curves upwards in the middle, arranged so that the flat edge slides along the inside circumference of the mesh container, and the wiper is made of a plastic, silicone or rubber material.
4. A device as defined in claim 3 where the perforated semi-spherical mesh container has hemispherical shape and the wiper has an outside circumference that is almost equal to the inside circumference of said perforated semi-spherical mesh container, said wiper being pivotally mounted to said perforated semi-spherical mesh container.
