  • Patent number: 9925505
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to a material handling device to perform the tasks of mixing and dispensing a mixture of materials, either simultaneously or sequentially. The material handling device may comprise an enclosure, a mixing component, a dispensing orifice, a dispensing component, and a material storage region, wherein the mixing component is positioned within the material storage region and configured to mix, stir, agitate, loosen, grind, shred, or otherwise reposition a mixture of materials within the material storage region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8479746
    Abstract: A hookah accessory comprising a motor driven vacuum secured in a housing, vacuum port, filter between the vacuum port and vacuum used to apply a suction force used to ignite and start a hookah, blower port in pneumatic communication with the output/return port of the vacuum to provide a blow force used to clean hoses, switches in the vacuum and air pressure ports to automatically turn on the accessory when inserting a hose, rheostat for adjusting the vacuum suction force, insulated oven having a burner assembly for heating charcoal or other agents used in the hookah and charcoal filter for filtering emissions from the charcoal or heated agent. The invention may have fixed resistors in series with the switches for setting the vacuum at two constant speeds for a set suction force and set air pressure force. The invention may include a basket for placement in the oven.

  • Patent number: 7690076
    Abstract: A hookah accessory comprising a motor driven vacuum secured in a housing, vacuum port, filter between the vacuum port and vacuum used to apply a suction force used to ignite and start a hookah, blower port in pneumatic communication with the output/return port of the vacuum to provide a blow force used to clean hoses, switches in the vacuum and air pressure ports to automatically turn on the accessory when inserting a hose and fixed resistors in series with the switches for setting the vacuum at two constant speeds for a set suction force and set air pressure force. Alternatively, the accessory may have a variable resistor (rheostat) to adjust the speed of the motor, which adjusts the suction and blowing forces. The filter is in line with the vacuum port and vacuum to capture debris before it reaches the vacuum or vacuum motor. The vacuum and blower ports securely receive and hold different sized hoses and, or hose tips in a manner that creates a substantial airtight seal.
