  • Patent number: 12546074
    Abstract: The invention discloses an electric defroster, comprising a housing with a handle; a working wheel rotatably connected with housing and at least partially protrudes out of the surface of the housing, scraping pieces extending along the axial direction is arranged on the surface of the working wheel, and a power mechanism used for driving the working wheel to rotate relative to the housing; scraping pieces rotate in the circumferential direction to scrape ice. The invention utilizes the working wheel to roll and deice the glass surface, the flexibility of the position for scraping ice is higher and ice at the corner can be effectively scraped; there are more contact surface can be selected, ice scraping more flexible; scraped ice is quickly discharged from space between adjacent scraping pieces, ensuring ice scraping efficiency; the invention can not only be used for scraping ice, but also for cleaning and removing rust.

  • Publication number: 20060278074
    Abstract: An air purification system includes an electrostatic collection grid module inside the housing of the system to remove particulate matter from the air flowing through the housing. The collection grid module is removable from a side of the housing. The collection grid module is equipped with a handle and a release mechanism. A user may draw out the collection grid module from the housing by pulling the handle while activating the release mechanism. Thus, the collection grid module may be cleaned with ease.
