Patent number: 11925298Abstract: A bowl assembly for a micro puree machine including an inner beaker and an outer bowl. The inner beaker is configured to receive ingredients and has an exterior bottom surface that includes a beaker alignment feature. The outer bowl is configured to receive the inner beaker therein. The outer bowl includes an interior bottom surface that includes a bowl alignment feature and an exterior bottom surface that includes a bowl securing element. The beaker alignment feature of the inner beaker exterior bottom surface is complementary to the bowl alignment feature of the outer bowl interior bottom surface such that, at times the inner beaker is positioned in the outer bowl, the complementary bowl alignment feature and inner beaker alignment feature prevent rotation of the inner beaker relative to the outer bowl. The bowl securing element is configured to receive and attach to a platform of a micro puree machine.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SHARKNINJA OPERATING LLCInventors: Jared James Proulx, Christopher William Hedges, Pierce James Barnard, Ming Li Shi, Xu Sheng Deng

Patent number: 11832767Abstract: A micro puree machine including a housing, a power shaft, a bowl assembly and a platform. The power shaft extends from the housing. The bowl assembly including at least one locking bowl element. The platform includes at least one complementary locking platform element that is configured to engage the at least one locking bowl element such that rotation of the bowl assembly relative to the platform is prevented at times the bowl assembly is positioned thereon. The platform is rotatable from a first position to a second position relative to the housing such that the platform raises the bowl assembly towards the power shaft during the rotation of the bowl assembly and platform. The raising of the bowl assembly facilitates connection between the power shaft and a blade assembly that is positioned in a lid assembly on the bowl assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2023Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: SHARKNINJA OPERATING LLCInventors: Jared James Proulx, Christopher William Hedges, Pierce James Barnard, Ming Li Shi, Xu Sheng Deng

Publication number: 20230029933Abstract: A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner includes an optical system located towards one side of the cleaner head. The optical system includes a light source and at least one light shaping component for receiving light emitted from the light source and directing the light towards a planar work surface on which the cleaner head is disposed to illuminate debris located upon a region of the work surface. This region upon which debris is illuminated is in the shape of a sector. A central axis of the sector is aligned at an angle in the range from 35 to 65° to a front edge of the cleaner head, and one of the radii bounding the sector is aligned at an acute angle of less than 20° to the front edge of the cleaner head.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Stephen Robert DIMBYLOW, Andrew David WARRINGTON, Henry Thomas James BARNARD
