  • Patent number: 4580814
    Abstract: A device for foretelling the typical weather in a given locality for any month of the year, based on actual historically recorded weather data, is provided. The device is in the form of a hand held sleeve member having front and back panels and an insert member which is relatively slidably contained within the sleeve. A large amount of weather data in a useful format is assembled on the faces of the insert member. The sleeve member with a front and a back panel contains openings or windows in the panel and, imprinted contiguous to the windows, the cities or locations of a given geographical area. The device permits the weather information in the desired location to be quickly read out through the window from the imprinted information on the slidable insert member. The two-piece slide device is one whose physical configuration is of a form that can be manufactured from a suitable semi-rigid opaque, thin paper or plastic stock.

  • Patent number: 4432912
    Abstract: An improved food processor kitchen appliance is disclosed which possesses the capability of whipping cream, egg whites, and the like under relatively mild conditions that do not degrade the food product being processed. The invention resides in a modified food processor which includes: a special bowl, sometimes referred to as an air bowl, which may be readily substituted for the conventional bowl and into which low pressure air may be admitted; means to supply a source of air to be fed into the bowl through the bottom of the bowl; means for controlling the stirring whisk attachment mixing speed; and means for monitoring the admittance of air into the food product to be whipped. The act of placement of the air bowl on the base functions to control suitable electrical switches which in turn control devices which alter gear ratios between the drive motor and the drive shaft to a lower than conventional gear ratio, thereby reducing the rotational speed for the food whipping cycle.

  • Patent number: 4250771
    Abstract: An improved food holder accessory for use with conventional food processing units is provided. The holder, having a plurality of prongs for insertion into the food item to be processed, is adapted to be held in the hand at the other end and to be guided into the processor feed tube. The penetration of holder into the feed tube is limited to prevent the holder end which retains the food from being inserted beyond a safe depth into the processor to preclude said food holding end from engaging and being struck by the rotating element of the food processor.
