  • Publication number: 20230047561
    Abstract: A system for preparing food that includes a holder for holding the food and an apparatus. The apparatus includes a processing chamber that is RF-impermeable and air-impermeable, a holding device for holding the holder inside the processing chamber, an RF-antenna to radiate RF-energy to the inside of the processing chamber for heating the food inside the holder, a fan for circulating the air in the processing chamber through an air-permeable side and through the holder, and a heater to provide heat to the circulated air. The fan and the heater are to air fry the food inside the holder. The processing chamber includes a top shell having a top inner space and a top rim forming an access opening to the top inner space, and a bottom shell having a bottom inner space and a bottom rim forming an access opening to the bottom inner space. In a closed position, the top shell and the bottom shell are to envelop an interior space that includes the top inner space and the bottom space.

  • Publication number: 20030163881
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a toothbrush head for an electric toothbrush with a brush head holder on which a bristle holder having a bristle cluster is movably arranged. It is provided that locking means are provided on the attachment section of the brush head holder, which, when the brush head holder is pushed onto the handpiece of the toothbrush with a linear, axial motion engage with the engaging means provided thereon. In order to achieve more efficient cleaning, it is further provided that several groups of bristle tufts are fixed on the motorized drivable bristle holder, and are inclined in different directions, and have different cross-sections, preferably also varying from the circular cross-sections, in order to better penetrate the gaps between teeth and effectively remove plaque.
