  • Patent number: 6818868
    Abstract: An electric grill comprised of a primary cooking unit that includes a ribbed grilling surface adjacent to a planar cooking surface with a containment wall around the unit and an adjustable food divider that is used to keep unwanted liquids such as fat and water separate from other foods. One side of the ribbed grilling surface is elevated above the planar cooking surface and includes channels between the ribs that direct grilling liquids into a flat reservoir area. The ribs slope downwardly into the flat reservoir area. The detachable and slideable food divider has a lower portion that may be formed in a “U” or “V” shape. The food divider is used to isolate selected areas of the primary cooking unit and thereby restrict the mixing of foods and grilling liquids.

  • Patent number: 4368049
    Abstract: A coupler assembly is installed between a driving shaft and a driven shaft to transmit rotary power and motion at constant velocity at all times during their relative positioning varying from zero degree in line to ninety degree angularity as selected throughout a hemisphere of possible radial shaft directions. In a preferred embodiment four pairs of yokes or links are equally spaced both radially and circumferentially about the inline centerline of the driving and driven shafts. Four yokes or links are rotatably, slidably and/or reciprocatably contained, in respect to either the driving or driven shaft, by positioning their rod ends partially confined within individual cylinders formed in an overall cylindrical body; in turn secured to either the driving or driven shaft.
