  • Patent number: 5271441
    Abstract: A router accessory used in concert with a router attached to a router table. The accessory can be used to produce rosettes, model wheels, buttons, coasters, and other circular decorated projects, for example. In the preferred embodiment, a wooden workpiece can be positioned horizontally above a selected router bit. The workpiece zero point, which may be the workpiece center, can be off-set horizontally from the router bit. The accessory can then be used to lower the workpiece onto the router bit, so that rotation of the workpiece routs a circular cut equidistant from the workpiece zero point. The maximum depth of cut can be set. The off-set can be changed to make additional circular cuts into the workpiece, as desired.

  • Patent number: 4288995
    Abstract: A movable storage assembly for a refrigerator having a freezer compartment and fresh food compartment, the freezer compartment being separated by a partition interconnected by an air duct, with the air duct having an inlet opening in the freezing compartment and an air outlet opening in the fresh food compartment. The movable storage assembly includes a removable storage pan, a shroud for the pan having a bottom wall and two side walls and open at the front and rear. There is a cover for the pan secured to the shroud and the shroud and pan cooperate to provide an air flow path therebetween. An air director pivotally attached to the rear of the shroud is provided and there are controls, including a movable control mechanism assembly, a linkage member cooperating with the air director and the movable control mechanism assembly to move the air director to open and closed positions to regulate the amount of cold air flowing around the storage pan.

  • Patent number: 4250719
    Abstract: A refrigerator having a humidity controlled pan assembly which includes a storage pan having an open top and a stationary cover inside the refrigerator for receiving the pan. A cover panel within the stationary cover is movable back and forth along the top of the pan by a movable control mechanism and linkage between the control mechanism and the cover panel that moves the cover panel back and forth along the top of the pan in response to movement of the control mechanism. With this arrangement, the user of the refrigerator may move the control mechanism to increase or decrease the amount of ventilation and, thus, control the humidity inside the pan.
