Publication number: 20200077832Abstract: An espresso machine has a built-in coffee grinder. A coffee grinding apparatus cooperates with a removable portafilter having a handle, the apparatus including: a cradle for supporting the portafilter; an actuator adjacent to the cradle for co-operating with the portafilter; a downward facing ledge engages a front tab of the portafilter for resisting imbalance of the portafilter when supported by the cradle. Wherein, when the portafilter is supported by the cradle and advanced forward, the front tab of the portafilter further contacts the actuator to operate an electrical switch, thereby causing a signal to be sent to a microprocessor for delivering coffee grinds to the portafilter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2019Publication date: March 12, 2020Applicant: BREVILLE PTY LIMITEDInventors: Con Psarologos, David Davenport, Richard Hoare

Patent number: 10455888Abstract: An athletic shoe is selectively configurable between a weight-training configuration and a cross-training configuration. The athletic shoe includes an upper portion configured to receive a foot and a first sole portion connected to the upper portion. The first sole portion has an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The outer surface is configured to contact a training surface when the athletic shoe is in the cross-training configuration. The athletic shoe also includes a second sole portion removably connected to the first sole portion when the athletic shoe is in the weight-training configuration. The second sole portion includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is configured to contact the training surface and the second surface is configured to contact the outer surface when the athletic shoe is in the weight-training configuration.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Inventor: Nathaniel David Davenport

Patent number: 10362639Abstract: The present disclosure describes an induction cooker (100) having an induction element (104) for heating a cooking vessel (106) containing a food substance. The induction cooker (100) also has a temperature sensor (120) for measuring a temperature of the cooking vessel (106) or food substance. A memory is also includes having stored therein a cooking sequence. The cooking sequence includes sequential stages, each stage being defined by a set temperature to be reached by the cooking vessel (106) or food substance, a set maximum power applied to the induction element (104) during heating and a time associated with the stage. A controller is included for retrieving the cooking sequence and controlling the induction element (104) based upon the cooking sequence and the temperature measured.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: BREVILLE PTY LIMITEDInventors: David Davenport, Ellaluna Taylor, Vyvyan Rose, Catherine Mary Ruspino, Richard Lehonde Hoare, Brendan Foxlee

Publication number: 20180271322Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the operation of a kitchen appliance (100). A processor (122) receives (220) a stored sequence of user settings and at least one recorded parameter, and applies (226) the stored sequence of user settings to the kitchen appliance. A sensor (140) senses at least one sensed parameter while the stored sequence of user settings is applied to the kitchen appliance (100). The processor (122) determines (228) a difference between the at least one sensed parameter and corresponding recorded parameter(s) and, if the determined difference exceeds a difference threshold, adjusts (234) at least one user setting applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2015Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventors: Khon THAI, David DAVENPORT, Eddie SIU, Robert GRASSIA, Ashley MARSH-CROFT, Lochana SUBASEKARA
