Abstract: Apparatus for releasable attachment to a tub or spa to hold reading material, beverage containers and other articles. The apparatus includes two tables movable relative to one another and structure enabling the apparatus to be used with tubs or spas of different sizes and shapes.

Abstract: Apparatus for directing in air flow toward the face or other body area of a bather includes a housing connected to the bathing tub and an air nozzle movable relative to the housing between a retracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: A kitchen assembly includes a vertically adjustable dining table capable of selectively shifting to a position depending on consumer requirements. More specifically, the kitchen assembly includes a countertop having a main work surface supported above a first base portion in a substantially horizontal plane and a vertically adjustable tabletop assembly. The tabletop assembly includes a dining surface supported by a plurality of vertically adjustable support members above a second base portion designed to shift the dining table along an adjustment path. A protective apron is arranged between the respective surfaces to prevent foreign objects from entering the adjustment path. Through operation of a control, a user can selectively set the vertical height of the dining table with respect to the countertop. Preferably, the user can set the height of the table through operation of a remote control, irrespective of the presence of objects on the dining surface.

Abstract: An improved air filtration system is provided for a kitchen island so as to cleanse cooking vapors from the air. The system includes an updraft or downdraft air inlet vent for capturing, either individually or simultaneously, the vapor-containing air generated during the cooking process. The captured air is directed through an exhaust duct to an air filter which removes the cooking vapors from the air. The filtered air is then discharged back into the kitchen. The filtered air may also be dehumidified or heated, and a fragrance may optionally be provided to the filtered air. The air filtration system can also be used simply as air cleaner for the kitchen with the option of adding a fragrance to the air.

Abstract: A vent hood is provided for a stove having a plurality of burners. The vent hood includes a housing with a plurality of slots extending substantially around the perimeter of the housing through which cooking vapors pass. The hood includes a plurality of chambers to balance the air flow through the hood. An exhaust duct extends from the housing to an exhaust fan such that air is drawn upwardly through the slots, into the housing, and out the exhaust duct. The air is passed through an air filter for removal of odors and grease particles before being discharged back into the ambient kitchen air.
