Abstract: An adaptor for engagement to an air duct. The adaptor includes a back portion with an aperture within the back portion, a bellow adjacent the back portion with an opening positioned in a corresponding relationship with the aperture of the back portion, a top portion adjacent the bellow and spaced-apart from the back portion. A ring member is rotationally engaged to the back portion and disposed within the aperture of the back portion and the opening of the bellow. The ring member receives an ion generation device configured to engaged the ring member and containing a cleaning device for periodically cleaning a pair of electrodes.

Abstract: A device for generating ions that includes a housing with a first portion and a second portion having a cavity therein. A first voltage wire and a second voltage wire are electrically coupled to an ionization module. A first electrode is electrically coupled to the first voltage wire configured to emit ions and a second electrode electrically coupled to the second voltage wire is configured to emit ions. An electrode cleaning apparatus is slidingly disposed within the cavity of the housing configured to contact both the first electrode and the second electrode. The electrode cleaning apparatus is powered by a motor, causing the electrode cleaning apparatus to contact the first electrode and the second electrode for cleaning.

Abstract: A cooking pan having a pivoting strainer which provides a unique, safe way to drain grease contained within a pan while cooking. The cooking pan generally comprises a substantially flat and circular base having a cooking surface, a peripheral wall upstanding from the circular base, a pan handle extending outwardly from the peripheral wall and a pivoting strainer moveable between a closed position and a raised, draining position.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus having a pivoting strainer which provides a unique, safe way to drain liquid contents contained within the apparatus while cooking. The cooking apparatus generally comprises a substantially flat and circular base having a cooking surface, a peripheral wall upstanding from the circular base, a handle extending outwardly from the peripheral wall and a pivoting strainer moveable between a closed position and a raised, draining position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a canister connection apparatus designed to efficiently and easily connect a pressurized canister to an external system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method including the steps of receiving a canister in a canister connection housing. The canister includes a canister fitment and a canister valve. The housing includes a receiver fitment and a door. The method includes the step of lowering the receiver fitment of the housing over the canister fitment. The lowering of the receiver fitment is caused by a closing of the housing door. The present disclosure further relates to an apparatus. An apparatus including a nest configured to receive a canister, a door configured to rotate about an angle so as to open and close, a receiver fitment configured to connect to a canister fitment, and an over-center movement mechanism connected to the door and the receiver fitment. The over-center movement mechanism is configured to move the receiver fitment along an axis as the door is rotated about the angle.

Abstract: A container has a base, peripheral walls and a lid. Each of the base, peripheral walls and lid includes an interior wall spaced from an exterior wall, with vacuum panel in between. The sides of the vacuum panels are covered by compressible insulation fill, minimizing thermal flow along the vacuum panels despite any manufacturing tolerance differences in the width of the vacuum panels as compared to the distance between the interior wall and the exterior wall. The interior wall of the body of the container is provided by a liner formed of a single, deep drawn sheet of material. The exterior wall is similarly formed as a deep drawn shell. The inner liner and the outer shell are welded together with a bead to encase the vacuum panels in a water-tight manner, with the liner, the shell the bead all formed of the same material.

Abstract: A soft-sided, collapsible insulative container having a flexible casing, a base, peripheral sidewalls extending from the base, and a lid. The sidewalls fold upward from the base at a fold hinge and releasably attach at their vertical edges to form an enclosure. The lid fits the top of the enclosure. Each of the sidewalls, the base and the lid are formed of a sealable pocket having a compressible insulation lining for receiving block insulation. The flexible casing extends tightly around the container in a fully-closed position, exerting a uniform pressure on the container to improve the thermal seals.

Abstract: A composite hand rail for supporting and protecting pedestrians on steps and inclined surfaces. The rail is a composite comprising a shell having a wide slightly convex top surface extending downwardly and laterally to a convex sidewall before returning and flaring down to a smaller waist section. The shell has an interior cavity open to the bottom that can receive a core material. Preferably the shell is of cellular blended polyvinylchloride or styrene with a hardened skin formed by celuka processing. A simulated wood finish is applied to the shell by hot stamping or paint and print processes. Shells can be easily formed into spiral and curvilinear shapes by bending around a form or mandrel. The decorative wood finish bends with the shell thus enhancing the decorative wood finish appearance. A core is prefabricated to fit within the shell cavity. The core is fastened within the cavity by either adhesive or mechanical means.
