  • Automatic food cooker with a tubular frame constituting hot and cold forced air conduits
    Patent number: 5076258
    Abstract: An automatic food cooker having a tubular frame used as an air conduit system for delivering air to the fuel source. When the attached fan is turned on air is blown through the tubular frame and out the exhaust on the vertical frame members. The exhaust ports are adjacent the lower longitudinal frame near the fuel source. Therefore, regardless of the wind condition the fuel source may be fed sufficient air to promote burning. Use of the tubular frame as air conduits minimizes the cost involved in providing the air delivery system for the cooker. A portion of the frame is used as hot air conduits for drawing heated air from the cooker interior and delivering it to an upper chamber for heating or cooking food products contained therein.

  • Modular socket for an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 5074798
    Abstract: A modular socket for an integrated circuit package, wherein a single base is adapted to receive a plurality of replaceable contact modules having a variety of conductive lead counts. The modularity permits tooling of a single base to accommodate a variety of integrated circuit packages.The socket includes a lid pivotally connected to the base by a hinge and hinge pin. The hinge pin defines a pivot axis which is in a plane with the bottom surface of the lid to limit lateral movement on the contacts carried by the module.

  • Animal feeder
    Patent number: 5069164
    Abstract: An animal feeder having a rotatable feed plate. A spacer is carried by the feed plate to limit the amount of feed carried by the plate and further prevents accumulation of feed on the central portion feed plate. Limiting the amount of feed on the plate reduces the weight of feed to allow rotation of the plate by a smaller feeding animal. The spacer of this invention further reduces feed spoilage caused by static feed typically collected on the feed plate central portion. The feed plate is spaced from the feed trough by a central raised portion of the base to isolate feed carried on the plate from that in the trough. Isolating feed on the feed plate in this manner prevents the wicking of moisture from the trough into the hopper.
