Patent number: 12329130Abstract: A window mounted bird feeder device for attracting and watching birds in the comfort of the home includes a housing having a base wall that is coupled to a pair of side walls and a back wall. A bottom edge of the back wall is spaced from a top surface of the base wall to define a back opening into the housing. A border extends along the base wall, up each of the pair of side walls, and between the pair of side walls. The border extends outwardly from the housing to physically abut a window frame and inhibit the housing from falling out of the window frame. A shelf coupled to the housing extends forwardly from the front side. A tray is removably positionable within the interior space through the back opening. The tray blocks the back opening when the tray is positioned within the interior space.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2024Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Inventor: Natalie Raye

Patent number: 10451330Abstract: Automatic vending machine which cools products for sale. Sale of products not in an appropriate temperature state is prevented. A cooling device executes a partial cooling operation for cooling the product located on a lower side of the plurality of products stored in a product storage chamber when lower space temperature T1 inside the chamber becomes higher than upper-limit value TSu of set temperature range (S1?S2). Then, when the lower space temperature T1 is decreased to a lower-limit value TSL of the set temperature range, the automatic vending machine executes an entire cooling operation for cooling all the plurality of products (S3?S4). Furthermore, when the lower space temperature T1 becomes higher than upper-limit value TSu of the set temperature range during execution of the entire cooling operation, the automatic vending machine stops the entire cooling operation to execute the partial cooling operation (S5?S6).Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignees: SANDEN HOLDINGS CORPORATION, THE COCA-COLA COMPANYInventors: Yuuki Yanagisawa, Yasuhiro Yamazaki, Takashi Nishiyama

Patent number: 8550290Abstract: A storage container system comprising an arrangement for adjustable ventilation intended for storing at least one article that is thermally sensitive and/or requires ventilation to the ambient atmosphere. The device includes at least one door and at least one aperture ventilation assembly. The aperture ventilation assembly includes a planar wall aperture array and a corresponding planar shutter aperture array, wherein the sliding relationship between the two arrays results in a plurality of ventilation levels, including a fully open state, and a closed state capable of substantially sealing off the contents of the container from the ambient atmosphere. Certain preferred embodiments include a plurality of storage compartments configured within the container's inner volume wherein each compartment is sealed from one another and possesses its own aperture ventilation assembly for ventilation adjustments.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2012Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Inventor: Robert L. Davis
