Abstract: A portable hydromassage apparatus relies on a turbine lying underwater, propelling water under pressure. The generated water jet can be directed with a hose toward the desired bodily area. The turbine is driven by a motor located outside the water-containing vessel and the motor transmits motion through a resilient shaft that is located in and protected by a cable-like sheath. The jet hose is held to a vessel surface by a suction cup. The apparatus is portable and its electric parts lie beyond contact with water. When not in use, the turbine fits into a space-conserving cradle laterally extending on the motor housing.

Abstract: An ejector grating, which is fitted in a toaster, comprises two vertically travelling grids, each of which is dihedral and slightly obtuse in shape. The angles of the respective dihedrals each has a bar which passes through the end cover in a toaster general support and may travel vertically just as the grids along vertical slots provided in the end cover. The grids merge closer to each other at the upper edges thereof, as they move down into the general toaster support.
