Abstract

A roller of generally elongated ellipsoid of revolution (also known as prolate spheroid) shape having an outer corrugated surface comprised of rounded, smooth, curved surface ridges and furrows that are transversely oriented along a major axis of the roller.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A culinary device, comprising:
 a roller of elongated ellipsoid of revolution shape having an outer corrugated surface comprised of rounded, smooth, curved surface ridges and furrows that are transversely oriented along a major axis of the roller.   
     
     
         2 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein:
 transversally oriented lateral ends of the major axis of the roller are generally flat, and include lateral openings of a longitudinally oriented axel bore, which extends along the major axis of the roller.   
     
     
         3 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein:
 the roller includes an inner diameter that defines the lateral openings of the bore, and an outer.   
     
     
         4 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein:
 the outer diameter progressively increases from a lateral end of the roller to a generally middle portion.   
     
     
         5 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the roller is associated with a support.   
     
     
         6 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein:
 the support includes:   a base-structure associated with a handle;   the base-structure includes openings through which an axel connects the roller to the support, with the axel inserted through a first opening, an axel bore of the roller, and a second opening, and secured to the base-structure of support with a fastener.   
     
     
         7 . A culinary device, comprising:
 a roller of prolate spheroid configuration having an outer corrugated surface that includes rounded, smooth, curved surface ridges and furrows that are transversely oriented along a longitudinal axis of the roller.   
     
     
         8 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein:
 transversally oriented lateral ends of the major axis of the roller are generally flat, and include lateral openings of a longitudinally oriented axel bore, which extends along the major axis of the roller.   
     
     
         9 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein:
 the roller includes an inner diameter that defines the lateral openings of the bore, and an outer.   
     
     
         10 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 9 , wherein:
 the outer diameter progressively increases from a lateral end of the roller to a generally middle portion.   
     
     
         11 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein:
 sizes of the ridges are uniform; and   sizes of the furrows are uniform.   
     
     
         12 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein:
 the roller is associated with a support.   
     
     
         13 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein:
 the roller is associated with the support that has a base-structure and a handle.   
     
     
         14 . A culinary device, comprising:
 a roller of elongated ellipsoid of revolution shape having circumferential outer corrugated surface comprised of rounded, smooth, curved surface ridges and furrows that are transversely oriented along a major axis of the roller.   
     
     
         15 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein:
 transversally oriented lateral ends of the major axis of the roller are flat, and include lateral openings of a longitudinally oriented axel bore, which extends along the major axis of the roller.   
     
     
         16 . he culinary device as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein:
 the outer diameter progressively increases from a lateral end of the roller to a middle portion.   
     
     
         17 . The culinary device as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein:
 sizes of the ridges are uniform; and   sizes of the furrows are uniform.
