Default Help me, Totse!

Alright here's the deal. I have to design a machine(yes, in high school)that uses 4 simple machines, or 2 with 2 machines each. As I am extremely uncreative, I have turned to my fair friends at &T for help. Now before it is said, I understand this should be in another forum, probably gearheads or something of the sort, but they get like little to no traffic whatsoever. And no, Molotoving my science room will not be satisfactory.
So, the Six Simple Machines:
1. Simple Lever-ex. End of hammer used to take out nails.
2. Pulley-ex....Hard to explain
3. Wheel and Axle- ex. Car steering wheel turns the wheels
4. Simple Inclined Plane-ex. Handicap ramp
5. Wedge- Ex. Axe
6. Screw- Ex. A Screw

Alright, once again, Mods, please don't move this, as I am well aware it belongs in another forum. Just please let me get a few good suggestions, then you may move/close whatever you wish.
And also, it has to be a practical invention
And Thank You to all that help! Positive rep might ensue.

Put the pulley into the inclined plane, and you get an annoying little thingy. Screw the wedge, and you get a work of art.

My friend and I are now trying to concoct a thing where there's a pulley, and it pulls milk up and inclined plane and then a lever is pushed or pulled whatever and the milk gets pured into cereal.

Make a pulley system that rotates a gear that turns a screw that moves a lever:
Code:
 ___
 |O|
 | |_
 | |>
 | x<
 |  >
 |  <               Lever hits this
 | ____________________
 |   /\

Pull here
"x" is the gear. When it turns, it will turn the screw. Set it up so that the screw goes down. The screw will then hit the lever. The "/\" is the fulcrum of the lever.
