Abstract: An envelope formed from a single sheet of paper includes a front portion, a top flap, two lateral side flaps, a bottom flap, a top folding edge, two lateral side folding edges, and a bottom folding edge, the lateral side flaps overlapping and adhering to the bottom flap to form the back portion of the envelope. The top flap will adhere to the back portion after contents of interest are inserted into the envelope. The envelope further includes an opening device in the form of a piece of thin line disposed inside the envelope. The thin line loosely extends along one of the folding edges with its first end attached to one spot near one end of that folding edge and its opposite second end attached to an anchor portion on the outermost flap near the other end of that folding edge. The anchor portion does not adhere to any other flap.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic breadmaker having toaster oven function. The breadmaker includes a housing having a base member, a top, a rear wall, and two lateral side walls which form an oven cavity with a front opening for receiving a bread pan containing a kneading member and dough, and wherein the front edges of the lateral side walls are slopped downward and forward for facilitating the installation and removal of the bread pan; a front access door hinged to the housing for selectively closing the front opening of the oven cavity; a top heating element mounted on the housing and disposed inside the oven cavity and adjacent to the top thereof; a bottom heating element mounted on the housing and disposed inside the oven cavity and adjacent to the bottom thereof; means for driving the kneading member to mix the dough; and means for control the operation of the driving means and the top and bottom heating members.
Abstract: A snow break system, as a supplemental break device to a regular break system in a vehicle, comprises at least a pair of brake boosters. Each of the brake boosters mounted under the vehicle has a frictional head made out of a heavy duty material. A hydraulic booster drives the frictional head downward to confront a road surface to cause a considerable frictional force. A mechanism controlled by an operator of the vehicle controls the positions of the brake system, being either in a released position or an engaged position. When the snow brake system is in the released position, the brake pedal operation actuates the regular brake system. When the snow brake system is in the engaged position, the same brake pedal operation actuates both of the snow brake system and the regular brake system.
Abstract: A parking pad having a raised wall, a bump and a slope is disclosed. A pair of such parking pads are preferably placed in an indoor garage for a vehicle to park thereon. The parking pad is made out of a single material and provides two purposes, one being used to collect and retain droppings falling from a parked vehicle in an indoor garage and the other being a parking guide for the vehicle to be parked properly.
