Abstract: A removably attachable insulator having a jacket adapted to slide over a container for keeping the contents of the container at or near a predetermined temperature is provided. The jacket may include heating elements attached thereto for heating the container. A control circuitry is also integrated with the jacket, the control circuitry providing a thermostat adapted to set and control the temperature through operatively associating with the heating elements. The jacket and container may become removably attached through the use of detachable fasteners integrated with the container and or the jacket.

Abstract: A dc rechargeable, battery powered, food preparation device uses rapid angular displacement action thereby enabling a human operator to use barely more than the weight of the instrument's spinning cutter against a wide variety of fruit and vegetable peels ranging from dense eggplant to delicate peach, while also providing for operator safety through the use of safe-start interlock technology along with a catch-and-release safety cover over the cutting head itself. As a result the user friendly appliance scales the entire surface of common produce items while rapidly and efficiently removing the outer layer of skin in bitwise fashion as opposed to generating continuous long strings of discard material.

Abstract: An electroless disposable razor cleaning appliance employs rotational hydrodynamic cleaning action as applied to the blades and structural members of a multi-bladed disposable shaving instrument by employing standing water to create strong vortex shearing forces which remove all traces of foreign matter buildup.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming a disc envelope from a prepunched, flexible, plastic blank having two sections connected at the heads thereof and containing a drive hole at the same location in each section. The drive holes are located on respective hubs which are located at the same position on respective folding plates. The end edge of a mandrel is pressed against the blank in the area between the two sections while the folding plates are moved from a horizontal to a vertical position pulling the drive holes taut on the hubs and thereby locating the center fold between the two sections of the blank flap folding apparatus and sealing apparatus are attached to and swing into operating position with the respective folding plates to form the side flap folds and seal the folded flaps.
