  • Publication number: 20060016335
    Abstract: An improved filter element for use in an electrostatic precipitation air cleaning device, the filter element including rod electrodes arranged through a stack of alternating fluted plastic sheets and plate electrodes. Successive plate electrodes are arranged to make contact with an alternating one or the other of the rod electrodes. The plate and rod electrodes may be composed of high impedance materials such as paper and plastic, respectively. An arrangement for removably inserting a filter element into an air cleaning device is provided. The arrangement also removably provides electrical connectivity between the filter element and the air cleaning device. The filter element can thus be readily removed and re-installed by a user.

  • Patent number: 6966256
    Abstract: A food press is provided having a presser arm and a presser plate which is received by a basket formed in a handle, and a pivotally attached perforated strainer plate is locatable within the basket. The strainer plate is pivotally attached to the handle at a point which is at a side of the basket opposite a hinge which pivotally attaches the handle to the presser arm. The food press provides for the pivoting of the strainer plate from a first position in the basket, where the food article may be pressed against the strainer plate, and a second position exposing the upper surface and lower surface of the strainer plate for easy access and cleaning of the perforated strainer plate.

  • Publication number: 20040134866
    Abstract: The present invention in an embodiment provides a rack including fingers which are pivotally mounted so that when an actuator is moved to an extended condition the fingers will simultaneously move to an extended position approximately perpendicular to the upper surface of the rack so that items may be placed thereon for uses such as drying. The fingers are pivotally attached to the actuator so that, upon movement to a retracted position, the fingers will pivot downward and to a retracted position below the upper surface providing a flat rack that is easily stored. The rack also includes a liquid indicator for identifying whether liquid is present within a base of the rack.
