  • Patent number: 6733071
    Abstract: A self-locking rocker recliner is provided. The rocker recliner includes a base frame and a rocking frame that is rockably connected to said base frame. The rocking frame supports seating surfaces of the rocker recliner, such as a seat back, a seat bottom, a footrest, and armrests. The rocking frame includes an upper rocking frame and a lower rocking frame that are movably connected so that the rocker recliner can be adjusted between an upright position and at least one reclined position, such as a TV or fully reclined position. The rocker recliner can be reclined by rotating a recline lever on the side of the rocker recliner, and reclining the rocker recliner can also cause the extension of a footrest. A lockout lever, which is attached to the rocker recliner, is configured to be moved by a user between a locked position and an unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 4357172
    Abstract: A process for continuously crystallizing alpha monohydrate dextrose from dextrose-containing liquours. The process is operated isothermally and produces a lean phase massecuite. According to the process, a rate of agitation is employed, within a reaction zone operated in a continuous mode, which permits linear growth of crystals to occur at a growth rate which is surface reaction controlled. The process may be combined with a batch process by feeding lean phase massecuite from the process into a second reaction zone operated in a batch mode. This is done at a constantly declining temperature and produces a rich phase massecuite. The batch process stage is also continuously agitated, but at a slower rate than the first stage continuous process to prevent excessive attrition of existing crystals while maximizing crystal yield.

  • Patent number: 4338339
    Abstract: Dextrose and sucrose are co-crystallized onto the surface of breakfast cereal products such as corn flakes, puffed wheat or puffed rice, by applying to the surface of said cereal product a powdered crystalline material comprising any of sucrose, dextrose or mixtures thereof, and coating the surface with a layer of a concentrated aqueous solution of dextrose and sucrose. The coated cereal product is then dried at a temperature below the browning temperature of the product. The resulting coated cereal product has a desirable frosted appearance.
