Rolling pin with counterweighted eccentric handles

摘要

A rolling pin has a hollow cylindrical metal roller rotatable relative to an elongated shaft assembly extending axially through the roller, the shaft assembly having two rods respectively rotatably journaled in bushing portions of end caps on the roller, the two rods having their inner ends fitted in recesses in a weighted coupler disposed within the roller, and having outer ends offset from the rotational axis and connected to handles, each of which handles has a rounded side and a flattened side. The weight causes the handles to be disposed in an at-rest position with most of each handle disposed above the rotational axis and with the flattened sides of the handles facing downwardly.
