Abstract: There is provided a kitchen appliance apparatus for using air in the kitchen, comprising a housing, wherein in the housing a pump system is provided which pump system comprises, a primary port (106), a secondary port (107), a single direction air pump (101) having an inlet (102) and an outlet (103); wherein the pump system is operational in a first pump mode in which air can be sucked in via the primary port; the pump system is operational in a second pump mode in which air can be blown out via the primary port; and is operational in a third pump mode in which the pump system is alternatingly sucking in and blowing air via the primary port.

Abstract: Vacuum stopper and assembly of stopper and container. There is disclosed a vacuum stopper (1) configured to be positioned into a neck (9) the neck of the bottle, the stopper comprising: a resilient shoulder (4) provided at an upper end of the elongated body (2), wherein the resilient shoulder is arranged for resting onto an upper side of the neck of the bottle; a stop ring (5) provided at an upper end of the elongated body above the resilient shoulder; a valve arranged (6) inside of the elongated body for allowing, in use, air to be sucked out of the container.

Abstract: There is disclosed a stand-alone, independent and re-usable valve that can be mounted to a conventional food container, such as a food bag, and can be coupled to a suction pump. The valve has a first part for insertion into the food container and a second part for mounting onto the first part with a wall of the food container in between, to obtain an air-tight closure of the valve. Further, an adapter is provided that can cooperate with a single type of coupling element for a suction pump at one end and can cooperate with various types of valves at another end. Additionally, an aerator is provided that can be coupled to a suction pump operating in a blowing mode for aerating liquid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety torch. The torch comprises a housing; a light source arranged in a head of the housing, wherein an end of the housing opposite the head forms a handle in which at least one battery system is arranged; and an at least partly translucent light source cover for at least partly covering the light source. The cover is adjustable between a retracted position in which said cover is at least partly retracted in the head of the housing, to emit in use a beam of light, and a protruding position in which the cover is protruding from the housing, at least protruding further from said housing than in said retracted position. The cover is adjustable between said positions by means of an adjusting mechanism comprising two substantially parallel guides arranged in the longitudinal direction of the housing, for adjusting the cover along the guides.
