Abstract: A generator having a display having two or more resettable timers. The timers provide a signal to indicate a maintenance reminder.

Abstract: A generator having a plastic frame. The frame includes plastic panels surrounding the engine and alternator assembly for the generator, providing an enclosure for the engine and alternator assembly and permitting additional features to added to the frame without adding additional pieces. A retractable cord wrap folds into and out of recesses in one or more panels of the generator. An oil drain chute is provided in one portion of the frame. A retractable handle is extendable from a first recessed position in which the handle is substantially contained within the frame for the generator to an extended position in which the handle extends outward from the frame. A fuel gauge extends along the outer portion of a fuel tank and is formed from a translucent tube.

Abstract: The LCD panel meter simultaneously displays four items: 1) power output as a percentage of the generator's continuous rated output, 2) the graphical bar that corresponds to the percentage shown in item #1, 3) a non-resettable timer displaying the total run time of the generator since manufacture, and 4) a resettable timer displaying time since last reset, intended to remind the user when to change oil or perform other maintenance.

Abstract: The essential concept of this invention basically involves the improved structuring and operative arrangement of a multiple-receptacle apparatus for the pressurized cooking of food in hot, non-aqueous liquid, wherein the food is inserted into and removed from a receptacle cooking compartment when it is essentially drained of the hot liquid and free of pressure.

Abstract: A closure lid for effecting an air-tight seal of the opening in a receptacle for the pressurized cooking of food in high temperature, non-aqueous liquids, wherein the closure lid is manually positioned through said opening into the receptacle and is held upwardly into sealing engagement with the rim of said opening by the pressure in said receptacle, said closure lid being manually removable from said opening when the pressure in said receptacle is released.
