Abstract: In some implementations, the inflator may include a compressor coupled to an air hose having an air fitting at a distal end thereof. In addition, the inflator may include a controller configured to control the operation of the compressor. The inflator may include entry keys coupled to the controller for setting a target air pressure for inflating an inflatable object coupled to the air fitting. Moreover, the inflator may include a display coupled to the controller for displaying the target air pressure. Also, the inflator may include a power cord having an accessory plug at a distal and thereof. Further, the inflator may include an indicator provided at the distal end of the power cord that is coupled to the controller to provide an indication that air pressure in the inflatable object has reached the target pressure.

Abstract: A paired set of cookware lids is configured to stack on each other and on cookware items. Each lid is configured to cover the other lid, with one lid in the upright position and the other in an inverted position, making it possible to stack both lids on one cookware container, with a first lid covering the container in the inverted position, and the second lid stacked on the first lid in the upright position. The lids are provided with multifunctional rims, having a flat annular shelf an outer rim extending in a perpendicular direction from the upper side of the annular shelf, and an inner rim extends in the opposite perpendicular direction from the lower side of the annular shelf.

Abstract: In an elongated, hollow stick handle for a cooking apparatus, the improvement comprising a heat shield in the form of a metal tab bent over an open end of the stick handle facing the cooking apparatus, for at least partly closing the open end of the stick handle to reduce heating of the stick handle.
