Patent number: 12228289Abstract: A latching structure for a cooking device and a cooking device having the same are provided. The cooking device has a casing and a door body. The latching structure has a flipping member, a first restoring member, a restricting member and a second restoring member. The first restoring member provides the flipping member with a first restoring force for allowing the flipping member to rotate towards a non-triggered position. The restricting member is movably disposed on the casing between a first position and a second position. The second restoring member is configured to provide the restricting member with a second restoring force for allowing the restricting member to move towards the first position. The latching structure is configured, such that a restoring speed at which the flipping member rotates towards the non-triggered position is greater than a restoring speed at which the restricting member moves towards the first position.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2022Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignees: GUANGDONG MIDEA KITCHEN APPLIANCES MANUFACTURING CO., LTD., MIDEA GROUP CO., LTD.Inventors: Xin Zhang, Yanqi Wu, Shuaishuai Wei, Xinchao Zhu

Patent number: 6119681Abstract: A cordless tool which includes a glue gun function and may include other functions includes a sleeve for receiving a stick of hot melt glue for sliding through the sleeve and a tip at the forward end of the sleeve for discharging the glue when melted. A butane heated gas burner heats the sleeve using gas permeable catalytic heater which surrounds or lies in intimate contact with the sleeve to communicate heat to the sleeve. The arrangement can be modified by closing off the catalytic heater for use to provide multi function.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1997Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Inventor: Harvey Lilke

Patent number: 5215076Abstract: A gas powered heating tool comprises a handle and a head which comprises a soldering tool element. Gas from a reservoir in the handle is delivered through a gas supply pipe to a combustion chamber where it is converted to heat by a catalytic heating element for heating the tool element. A nozzle orifice in a nozzle delivers a jet of gas through the gas supply pipe. The gas supply pipe conducts heat from the combustion chamber to a heat transfer member which in turn conducts heat to the nozzle to prevent freezing of gas in the nozzle orifice. Heat is also conducted to gas supply control means in the handle to prevent gas freezing.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1991Date of Patent: June 1, 1993Assignee: Oglesby & Butler Research & Development Ltd.Inventors: John P. Oglesby, Alfred P. Oglesby, Damian Brett, John P. Watmore

Patent number: 4688551Abstract: A heat processing device using a liquefied gas comprises a nozzle for jetting a liquefied gas, a gas mixture generating member disposed at the exit of the nozzle for sucking external air through an external air intake port under the ejector effect of the gas jetted out from the nozzle to form a gas mixture, a fire nozzle member for jetting out the thus formed gas mixture to take place flaming combustion, and an air flow control member for controlling the flow rate of air flowing through the air intake port into the gas mixture generating member. The heat processing device further comprises an iron tip member having a combustion catalyst detachably disposed near the top end of the fire nozzle, in which the air intake port in the fully opened state is once closed fully and then fully opened again by the operation of the air flow rate control member interlocking with the operation of the shutter member for closing/opening the space between the fire nozzle and the combustion catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1986Date of Patent: August 25, 1987Assignee: Nakajima Dokosho Company LimitedInventor: Masahiko Nakajima

Patent number: 4387640Abstract: For the purpose of marking an article, e.g. the fibrous surface coat of a tennis ball, by branding, there is provided a casing (1) resembling the casing of a portable lighter, said casing having disposed at one open end face (2) a symbol (5) projecting beyond two opposed casing edges (9) by an amount corresponding to the desired branding depth. Spaced from said end face (2) there is provided in said casing (1) a transverse wall (10) provided with at least one nozzle aperture (8) which is directed towards the symbol (5). Provided within said casing (1) are a liquid-gas tank (6) and an igniting mechanism (13) adapted to be actuated from the exterior of the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1981Date of Patent: June 14, 1983Assignee: Fireprint AGInventor: Dietmar Viol
