  • Light sensitive control for toaster
    Patent number: 5672288
    Abstract: In a toaster, a system is constructed to vary the duration of the toasting cycle. An RC network provides an oscillating signal to a counter, which upon the required number of oscillations being counted, triggers a transistor switch. The switch energizes the main solenoid switch which in turn deactivates the heating elements of the toaster. The RC network of the system comprises a variable resistor which may be manually operated, a heat sensitive resistor, and a light sensitive resistor.

  • Can opener with moving lid retainer
    Patent number: 5666735
    Abstract: A can opener having a housing, a cutting blade, a can moving system, and a lid retainer. The cutting blade is movably connected to the housing between a cutting position and a retracted position. The lid retainer is pivotably connected to the housing between a recessed position in a recess of the housing and an extended position. The cutting blade is located in front of the recess when it is in its retracted position to keep the lid retainer in the recess. However, when the cutting blade is moved to its cutting position, the cutting blade is moved out of the path of the recess to allow the lid retainer to move from its recessed position to its extended position. The cutting blade can also push the lid retainer back to its recessed position when the cutting blade is moved back to its retracted position.
