Patent number: 8919234Abstract: A food slicer includes a frame for supporting a landing and a runway movable relative to the landing. A cutting blade is secured on an upstream end of the landing. A downstream end of the runway is spaced from an edge of the cutting blade. A separate cutting knife is moveably connected to the frame. An adjustment mechanism connected to the frame adjusts an offset between the cutting blade and the runway. The adjustment mechanism includes spaced apart first and second guide tracks provided on respective first and second movable side members. The guide tracks are configured such that a first movement of the adjustment mechanism moves the downstream end of the runway relative to the cutting blade to adjust a cutting thickness and a second movement of the adjustment mechanism lowers the downstream end of the runway and raises the cutting knife to a working position.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Helen of Troy LimitedInventors: Gregoire B. Aby-Eva, Hyukjae Chang, Eric R. Colburn, Thomas W. Hartman, Dino A. Mariano

Publication number: 20070101582Abstract: An ergonomic handle for use with a hand tool, such as a pair of scissors or the like, is disclosed which includes first and second opposing lever members coupled together at a pivot point to permit reciprocating movement of the lever members between a closed position and an open position. The lever members may include a cutting blade or other tool feature on a first end adjacent the pivot point, and a handle on a second end adjacent the pivot point opposite the first end. The fixed handle has a loop portion which includes an inner surface and an outer surface along one side of which abuts a corresponding outer surface of the opposing lever member while in the closed position. Each loop portion is made from a rigid material segment and a resilient material segment, with the rigid material segment having a cavity open at the outer loop surface and the resilient material segment extending across the cavity at the inner loop surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2005Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventors: Juan Escobar, Justin Adelff, Dino Mariano

Publication number: 20060254431Abstract: A container includes a platform supported by legs and a handle extending from the platform and including a base for attaching the handle to the platform. The handle includes a first telescoping section nested within a second telescoping section, a grip attached to the second telescoping section, a rod extending from the grip and a latching member attached to the base for engaging the rod when the handle is in a compressed condition. The legs may be pivotally attached to the platform and each leg may be formed of wire having a generally rectangular shape with a first side and a second side. The platform may be formed of interleaved portions pivotally attached to a central hub and each section may be movable between an open and closed position. The handle may be biased in order to extend the handle when the latch member is released from the rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Dino Mariano, Eric Colburn, Keith Brown

Patent number: 6175988Abstract: An electric motor driven bypass type vacuum cleaner apparatus, particularly adapted for wet/dry debris collection includes an open top debris collection tank having opposed integrally formed cup-shaped feet for supporting said apparatus in a stable position on a support surface. The tank includes a recess in a sidewall and a bottom wall for receiving a conduit member which may be interchangeably used as a connector for connecting a flexible vacuum hose to the tank and as a blower discharge nozzle. A flexible vacuum pickup hose is connected to the conduit member generally at the bottom side of the debris collection tank and, in a stored position on the apparatus, is trained through a recess in the bottom wall of the tank and over the top of a motor housing and shroud assembly to a connection point in one of the support feet adjacent the conduit member. The vacuum hose, when stored, is retained in a recess in the shroud which also serves as a carrying handle for the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1999Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: Overhead Door CorporationInventors: James A. White, Aaron J. Potts, Thomas J. DeBlasis, Dino A. Mariano
