  • Patent number: 5062408
    Abstract: A stainless steel sheet metal housing has three sets of supports which are vertically disposed, with respect to each other. One or more burners are mounted on the lower most support. A heat distribution member or members are mounted on the intermediate support. Grids or griddles are mounted on the upper most support. All of the burners, heat distribution members, grids and griddles may be lifted in or out of said housing whereby different combination of components may be provided. The heat distribution means may be either a plurality of ceramic briquettes or a radiant metal plate. This way, the charbroiler may be configured in many different ways to accommodate the changing tastes of customers, either in the short term over the course of a day or in the long term over a number of weeks, months or years.

  • Patent number: 4499736
    Abstract: A dehumidifier for a head-disk assembly in a disk drive unit. The dehumidifier includes a housing which is ported to define an air passage therethrough. Within the passage is a Peltier effect device that has a cold surface exposed to air flowing within the passage and a hot surface connected to a heat radiator. Water vapor carried in air that contacts the cold surface condenses; there is sump below the cold surface to contain water that condenses. The housing is installed so that air flow through the passage is induced by convection.
