Publication number: 20250113941Abstract: Disclosed is a waffle tong device and a method of using the waffle tong device. The waffle tong device being arranged so that a first and second side of the waffle tong device can be brought together by compressing a spring biased connector and once compressed, the waffle tong device can be placed on a waffle maker, filled with waffle batter and the waffle batter cooked to form a stuffed waffle. The spring biased connector configured such that once the waffle batter is cooked, the waffle tong device can be removed from the waffle maker and allowed to open whereupon the resultant stuffed waffle can be removed from the waffle tong device. Handle portions can be applied to the connector to allow for manipulation of the waffle tong device without risk of burns.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Michael R. Berge, Brent T. Ellis, Russell W. Hall

Patent number: 11805933Abstract: Disclosed is a cold brew coffee maker and related methods of making cold brew coffee. The cold brew coffee maker can include a rotation plate assembly, a removable cup, a brew chamber and a filtration assembly. The rotation plate assembly can include an internal magnetic component for generating rotational movement of a selectively attachable component of the cup. The removable cup can include a detachable impeller and removable plate. In other embodiments, the impeller may be non-removably affixed to the cup. The impeller can engage with the rotation plate assembly by a magnetic connection. In the “on” mode, the impeller engages with the rotational plate assembly and internal magnetic component, allowing for rotational movement of the impeller. In the “off” mode, the impeller and magnetic component are freely moveable and able to disengage, allowing for easy separation of all assembly components for cleaning or replacement.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: National Presto Industries, Inc.Inventors: Brent T Ellis, Aaron J Munsinger, Michael R Berge

Patent number: 11131474Abstract: A controller for controlling an environmental condition of a building via building equipment includes a user interface configured to present information to a user, an air quality sensor configured to sense indoor air quality conditions, a communications interface configured to communicate with a server system and receive outdoor air quality data from the server system, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to generate indoor air quality data based on the sensed indoor air quality data conditions sensed by the air quality sensor, receive, via the communications interface, the outdoor air quality data from the server system, and generate one or more interfaces indicating the indoor air quality conditions and the outdoor air quality conditions based on the indoor air quality data and the outdoor air quality data and cause the user interface to display the one or more interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Alan S. Schwegler, Joseph R. Ribbich, Corey A. Poquette, Michael F. Kornacki, Brent T. Ellis, Benjamin W. Hapka
