Publication number: 20170231425Abstract: A grilling device for bacon or other thinly sliced meat. The device includes a base with sidewalls extending from opposite ends of the base. A pair of doors are coupled to opposite sides of the base and movable from an open position to a closed position. A pair of grill plates are removably connected to a corresponding one of the doors. A heating element extends from the base between the side walls. A removable grill is placed over the heating element between the side walls. When the doors are in the closed position, the grill and the grill plates form an enclosed space, so that when power is supplied to the heating element, heat generated by the heating element is provided by convection to the grill and the grill plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Gregg Bond, Edward E.

Patent number: 9713826Abstract: A popcorn dispenser for use with a popcorn maker. The dispenser includes a hopper having two openings, the first opening larger than the second opening and sides tapering from the first opening to the second opening. A kernel catcher is located in the bottom of the dispenser adjacent to the second opening. There is a paddle wheel including a shaft and paddle blades below the kernel catcher. A turn dial is operationally coupled to the shaft so that when rotated, the shaft and paddle wheels rotate caused kernels in the hopper to be moved from the hopper to a bowl below the hopper.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: NOSTALGIA PRODUCTS GROUP, LLCInventors: Gregg Bond, Edward E.

Publication number: 20170094992Abstract: A device for making popcorn. A heating element and a fan are contained within a base housing. The base housing includes an agitator and convection unit unit having a bottom and a side portion located above the heating element and fan. The side portion includes louvers configured to allow heated air provided by operation of the heating element and fan to circulate around the agitator and convection unit and cause corn kernels added to the agitator and convection unit to be heated so as to form popcorn. A bowl surrounds the base housing such that the base housing, agitator and convection unit and bowl have a common axis. A canopy is removably mated to the base housing and is configured so that when popcorn is expelled from the agitator and convection unit, it strikes a bottom surface of the canopy and is guided into the bowl.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2015Publication date: April 6, 2017Inventors: Gregg Bond, Edward E.

Patent number: 9334148Abstract: A beverage dispenser having a tank located inside a refrigerator which stores a beverage. A tube connects the tank to a spigot with a plunger and a valve located outside the refrigerator and below the tank. The plunger opens and closes the valve. When the valve is in an open position the beverage flows from the tank, through the tube and is dispensed from the spigot. When the valve is in a closed position, the beverage ceases to flow. Also included is a push bar which when pressed, causes the plunger to move to a position which causes the valve to open. When the push bar is released, the plunger returns to a position which causes the valve to close. In an alternate embodiment, also included are a second tank, tube, spigot and a selector which operates so that the beverage can flow from either tank to its associated spigot.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: NOSTALGIA PRODUCTS GROUP LLCInventors: Gregg Bond, Edward E.

Patent number: 9004893Abstract: A cotton candy machine including, a base having a switch, motor and heater, and a head The head includes a shaft removably coupled to the motor and a dish coupled to the shaft. A cover is disposed between the dish and a lid. The shaft, cover and lid are in a fixed relationship relative to each other. The cover and the lid form a cavity which is configured to receive hard candy which can be melted when said dish and cover combination are heated to a predetermined temperature. The lid has a lip formed on its top surface around an inner annular ring portion of the lid. The is lip configured to enable the hard candy, when melted, and the head is rotating at a predetermined speed, to form strands or threads which are collectable as cotton candy.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Nostalgia Products Group LLCInventors: Gregg Bond, Edward E.

Patent number: 8701908Abstract: Cap with a hollow housing containing a count down mechanism so that when a person pushes down on the cap during the opening process, a rotational force within the housing causes the day and numerical count indices printed on cylinders within the housing to advance one station so that the day and count indices showing in viewing apertures located on the outside wall of the housing reflect the fact that an item such as a pill has been taken by the user. A preferred embodiment includes a ring release slide mechanism that allows the user to disengage the advancing mechanism so that the user can manually rotate the counting mechanism to initially set the indices to the correct location with respect to the viewing apertures and to be able to reset the indices if the user presses on the top cap housing accidentally.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Inventors: Gregg Bond, Steven Wagner, Kenneth A. Tarlow
