  • Electric slicing knife with switch guard
    Patent number: 6185826
    Abstract: An electrically operated slicing knife includes an axially movable switch guard overlying the switch of the knife. The switch guard is movable to a first position whereat the switch is uncovered and a second position whereat the switch is covered to prevent a user from actuating the switch. A pair of user actuated buttons control ejection of the blade of the knife. When the buttons are in a first position, the blade is locked relative to the knife handle, and the switch guard when positioned to uncover the knife switch maintains the buttons in their locked position. When the switch guard is moved to cover the switch, the buttons can be actuated by a user to unlock the blades from the knife handle.

  • Process for making a comfort grip handle
    Patent number: 6024903
    Abstract: An improved process for producing integral, composite handles having cushioned comfort grips, for appliances such as electric steam irons, comprising a first step of injection molding a one-piece handle substrate of strong, rigid, resinous composition having the desired predetermined shape and design, including a recessed, wrap-around area corresponding to the area of the handle which will be gripped by the hand of the eventual user of appliance. The present process comprises a second step of injection molding an integral, outer, soft, contoured layer of foamed resin into the recessed, wrap-around area of the rigid plastic handle substrate, to form a smooth, compressible, comfort grip surface area of the composite handle for engagement with the hand of the user.
