Abstract: A portable worklight having a protective outer casing which encloses the contents of the light. The outer casing includes first and second housings which are operable between open and closed positions. When in a closed position, the working components of the light, including the lens, grill, and light source are enclosed by the two housings. In an open position, the second housing acts as a base which holds the worklight in an upright position.

Abstract: A protective cover for light switches of the type used to control security lights, in particular exterior security lights. The protective cover including a stationary frame adapted to be secured to a wall mounted security light switch cover having a centrally located stationary frame aperture for receiving the light switch toggle therethrough.

Abstract: A beverage maker having a reservoir for holding liquid and a filter element for holding a substance, such as coffee grounds, for making the beverage. A partition separates the reservoir and filter element and has a heat responsive film. When the liquid in the reservoir is at or reaches a desired brewing temperature, the film opens to allow the flow of the heated liquid from the reservoir into and through the filter element and substance, such as coffee grounds, to produce a freshly brewed beverage, ready for dispensing.

Abstract: A drip-type coffee maker adapted for use in a microwave oven.
