US Patent:

41034201, Aug 1, 1978

Filed:

Sep 27, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/727253

Inventors:

Albert F. Davis - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A47J 4328

US Classification:

30129

Abstract:

A cooking utensil having a removable grease shield in the form of a screen to protect the hand of the person using it. The utensil includes the usual elongated manipulating device for making contact with the food item involved. At one end of the device appears the usual handle to allow a person to hold it. The shield fits on to the device, extends laterally from it, and provides a barrier to grease droplets or other hot particles that could burn. The shield couples to the manipulating device and may have a fixed orientation with respect to it. Moving the food manipulator, as a result, will not dislodge the shield to an inconvenient location. The utensil may also include an ejector for dislodging food held by the manipulator. This becomes important where the shield impedes access to the food held by the utensil. The food ejector, controlled in the region of the handle, consequently passes through the shield.

Appl. No.:

6/017389

Inventors:

Albert F. Davis - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G08B 1310
G08B 108
H04Q 700

US Classification:

340573

Abstract:

An alarm activating device is provided for closing a normally open circuit upon release of body pressure upon the rearward wall of the device, comprising a first, second, and third plate supported respectively in substantially parallel alignment behind a mounting plate, which mounting plate is adapted to be secured behind a belt in close proximity to a body, the first and third plates being spaced-apart and movable together from a position wherein one contacts the second plate, to a position where the other contacts the second plate, including means for applying constant positive pressure to the first plate opposite the second plate, and further including a first and a second contact in series circuit relationship, supported adjacent one another in alignment on the first and second plates.

Appl. No.:

7/009459

Inventors:

Albert F. Davis - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G08B 1300

US Classification:

340574

Abstract:

The invention is a circuit interception switch for an alarm transmission system, and an alarm transmission system having an alarm activating switch, a signal transmitter, and a circuit interception switch interposed therebetween, which alarm transmission system requires two closures of the alarm activating switch for energization of the signal transmitter, the first such closure energizing a device warning the user of such closure so that the system can be reset if such first closure was unintentional.
