  • Modular candle holder
    Patent number: 6120283
    Abstract: A modular candle holder having first and second components. Each of the two components includes first and second longitudinal ends, with each end having at least one candle-receiving cavity therein. These cavities are preferably of different diameters to accept different candle sizes. While the component rests upon one of these ends, the other end may receive a candle. The outer walls of the two component types are distinctively different, such as generally cylindrical compared to stepped diameters, to provide different aesthetic impressions. The longitudinal ends of each component also mate with the other component, or with like components. As such, one or more of each component type may be assembled together in various stacked configurations to form a candle holder having numerous different appearance.

  • Cookware lid and handle assemblies
    Patent number: 6105810
    Abstract: Cookware lid and handle assemblies include a lid which may include a whistle knob assembly which provides an audible indication upon reaching cooking temperature. The whistle knob assembly includes a steam deflector portion to reduce burn danger to the user, and has a simplified structure and assembly method. The vessel includes a pair of side handles, and the lid includes a pair of finger protectors which may overlie the side handles. Each set of side handle and finger protector have a unique mating relationship. As such, in the mated position a lid rim rest upon a vessel rim. The lid may be rotated 180 degrees to rest non-mating finger protector and side handles. This lack of mating relationship causes the lid to be spaced upward, permitting venting or draining of the interior. The finger protectors may also fit within a handle aperture in the side handle.
