  • Publication number: 20120320512
    Abstract: The present invention is an avionics instrument and mounting bracket. In particular, the present invention is directed to an avionics instrument that can be mounted in a variety of positions on an aircraft instrument panel. The mounting bracket preferably comprises a cylindrical interior and an exterior with squared sides and rounded corners. The bracket has an adjustment gap with first and second ports on opposing sides and an adjustment screw spanning the adjustment gap to adjust the tightness of the bracket. The front of the bracket preferably has four panel screw ports. The avionics instrument has a display panel mounted to a cylindrical electronics housing where the diameter of the housing is less than the length of the display panel. The display panel preferably has four positional modes of display and a control button for switching between the display modes. The cylindrical electronics housing is inserted into the bracket.

  • Patent number: 5456162
    Abstract: A pie crust baking shield for protecting the outer edge portion of pie crust while a pie is being baked. The device may be provided either pre-formed into a ring with unconnected ends or straight for packaging purposes. Both embodiments are flexibly deformable to fit around a range of pie crust diameters and include an upright continuous flange portion and a plurality of side by side generally horizontal flange segments extending orthogonally from the upright flange portion. The free ends of the shield are releasibly connectable in overlapping fashion against one another to define a plurality of preselected pie diameters. In use, the horizontal flange segments are supported atop the pie crust edge to define a continuous shield thereover which prevents burning the edge of the pie during baking.
