Patent number: 10441103Abstract: A slow cooker system including a plurality of slow cooker units including a stand having a pocket for receiving a first of the slow cooker units, a vertical support extending upwardly from the stand, and second and third slow cooker units each having an arm extending radially therefrom and pivotally attached to the vertical support above the first slow cooker unit. The second and third slow cooker units are pivotal between a non-use position and a use position where the first slow cooker may be accessed and slow cooking operations may be performed simultaneously in the first, second and third slow cooker units. The arms of the second and third slow cooker units are each pivotally attached to a ratcheting arrangement disposed in the vertical support to lock the second and third slow cooking units when moved to the use and non-use positions.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventors: Monte Davis, Jamal F.

Patent number: 9867387Abstract: A blending and dispensing appliance is provided which includes a blending container, a housing having a recess for supporting the blending container, an ice-shaving unit, and an agitator to agitate shaved ice and other beverage ingredients in the blending container. A conduit is disposed on an outer sidewall of the blending container and fluidly connected to the blending container. An auger is disposed in the conduit and is rotated within the conduit when a dispensing arm is depressed. The rotating auger extrudes blended contents through the conduit from the blending container to a dispensing spout. A motorized base containing both an agitator and an auger motor selectively provide rotary power to the agitator and auger, respectively. A control system is provided for controlling the operation of the ice-shaving motor, the agitator, and the agitator so that the contents placed into the beverage container are blended to a desired consistency.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventors: Monte Davis, Joseph Palermo, Augusto A.

Publication number: 20040194610Abstract: A vocal pitch-training device that provides for the holistic integration of instantaneous auditory, visual and physical biofeedback response that involve recognition of an auditory target pitch, the attempted production of a matching vocalized pitch, sensing any discordant biofeedback between the auditory target pitch and the user's vocalized pitch via the visual, auditory, and tactile biofeedback sources, and adjusting the user's vocalized pitch to match the target pitch by minimizing the discordant biofeedback as accomplished by raising or lowering the frequency of the user's pitch until a seemingly corresponding diminishment in sensation of physical biofeedback is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2004Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventor: Monte Davis
