Patent number: 9192178Abstract: A countertop griddle and related methods of cooking food with a countertop griddle including a warming tray. The warming tray can be rotatably attached to the countertop griddle such that the warming tray can be rotatably pivoted from a covering disposition to an intermediary disposition to an open disposition. When in the covering disposition, the warming tray can serve to protect a user from exposure to grease spatter and to receive heat conducted from a cooking surface. During cooking, the warming tray can be rotated to the intermediary disposition such that the user can manipulated the food item being prepared. Finally, the warming tray can be rotated to an open disposition defining a serving tray for receiving a cooked food item. The warming tray can be detached from the countertop griddle when the warming tray is positioned in any of the covering, intermediate or open dispositions.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: National Presto Industries, Inc.Inventors: Michael R.

Patent number: 4734011Abstract: A pumping system includes a pump having a plurality of cylinders, a suction manifold and a discharge manifold. Each cylinder includes a piston connected to a pump shaft. The system also includes apparatus for rotating the pump shaft so as to move the pistons. A fluid enters the pump by way of the suction manifold, is compressed in the pump by the pistons and the compressed fluid leaves the pump by way of the discharge manifold. Equipment connected to the discharge manifold affects the discharging of the compressed fluid in accordance with the number of cylinders and the rotational frquency of the pump shaft.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1986Date of Patent: March 29, 1988Assignee: Texaco Inc.Inventor: Russell W. Hall, Jr.
