Publication number: 20170280932Abstract: The controlled bottom charcoal starter is comprised of a fire starting cylindrical tube, a set of two separate but mirror imaged half grates pivotal along the line of the diametrical center of the starter cylinder, a lock and release mechanism, a handle grip and a button cap. The two half grates, which are formed by a one continuous steel rod, are locked horizontally in the same plane to form shelves for loading un-ignited charcoal in the starter cylinder tube. Once the charcoal is ignited, the lock mechanism releases the grates to pivotally rotate downward inside the charcoal starter cylinder so as to lower the hot charcoal briquettes onto a barbeque grill at a controlled rate of discharge. This controlled bottom discharge charcoal starter minimizes hot ash flying outside of the cylinder and makes it safer to use.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2016Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventor: Akifumi Yoshida

Patent number: 9669685Abstract: An auxiliary vehicle sun visor system is provided for use in a vehicle having a window and a front windshield. The system is a simple design and does not involve sophisticated or elaborate mechanism or device. The auxiliary sun visor is formed in J-shape view from a side in one piece. It is mounted to a main sun visor adjacent to the distal end of a main sun visor. It is rotatable at the pivotal axis in the same plane as the main sun visor and position it as needed by one hand. This allows the auxiliary sun visor to be placed between a user and an unwanted light source while operating a vehicle in a normal and safe manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Inventor: Akifumi Yoshida
