The broken lines are directed to environment and are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. The thin solid lines illustrate surface contour and form no part of the claimed design. The dot-dash lines define the boundary of the claimed design and do not form part of the claimed design.
The cross-sectional view of
Additional embodiments are contemplated that are not explicitly shown in the illustrated embodiments. For example, some embodiments can have a dot-dash line across the width (e.g., from the left side to the right side of the article) of the roaster housing at a location that is at about 25%, about 50%, or about 75% of a depth of the device between the front of the article and the back of the article as shown in that embodiment. Similarly, although not shown, some embodiments can have a dot-dash line across the width of the roaster housing at a particular location between the left side of the article and the right side of the article as shown in that embodiment. For example, such other embodiments can have a dot-dash line across the width of the roaster housing at a location that is at about 25%, about 50%, or about 75% of a width of the device between the left side and the right side of that embodiment. Some other embodiments can have a dot-dash line across the height of the roaster housing at a particular location between the top-most portion and the bottom-most portion of the roaster housing of that embodiment. For example, such other embodiments can have a dot-dash line across the height of the roaster housing at a location that is at about 25%, about 50%, or about 75% of a height of the device between the top-most portion and the bottom-most portion of the roaster housing of that embodiment. Yet some other embodiments can have at least two of (1) a dot-dash line across the width of the roaster housing at a particular location as described above between the front and the back of that embodiment, (2) a dot-dash line across the length of the roaster housing at a particular location as described above between the left side and the right side of that embodiment, and (3) a dot-dash line across the height of the roaster housing at a particular location as described above between the top-most portion and the bottom-most portion of that embodiment. As used herein, the term “about” when used in conjunction with a numerical value generally refers to those numerical values near to a recited numerical value. For example, in some instances, “about 25%” can mean within ±10% of the recited value. In other instances, the terms “about” and “approximately” can mean within ±9%, ±8%, ±7%, ±6%, ±5%, ±4%, ±3%, ±2%, ±1%, or less than ±1%. Furthermore, although a numerical value modified by the term “about” can allow for and/or otherwise encompass a tolerance of the stated numerical value, it is not intended to exclude the exact numerical value stated.
Additionally, although embodiments herein illustrate blades viewable through a circular window, which blades have a linear edge and non-linear edge, in other embodiments the shape of the edges of one or more blades can be reversed such that a linear edge as shown instead has a non-linear edge that is a mirror image to the non-linear edge shown and the non-linear edge shown has a linear edge. In other embodiments, each edge of the blade can be linear.
