International Classification:

F24H 302

US Classification:

392376

Abstract:

A portable heater providing both radiant and forced air heat includes a plurality of vertically oriented, horizontally spaced apart quartz heating tubes is partially surrounded by a common reflector configured to open at an obtuse angle at each quartz tube. The reflector is perforated to allow air to pass out from the interior of the heater. A housing surrounds the reflector and heating elements. A fan located toward the top of the heater draws air inward and down the channels behind the reflector from which it emerges past the heating elements. Control knobs for controlling a thermostat and output power level are located at the top surface of the housing. The heater also has automatic safety controls for shutting off power in the event the heater tips over or overheats, and an overcurrent device.

International Classification:

D06F 3902
G01F 2302

US Classification:

68 17R

Abstract:

A clothes washing machine including a cabinet having therein a spin tub rotatably disposed within a stationary drain tub, and an additive liquid dispensing system comprised of a multi-load reservoir of additive liquid connected hydraulically through a pump to a liquid ejector nozzle. The reservoir comprises a liquid-tight housing which is vertically elongated and has a triangular cross-sectional shape for fitting into an elongated corner portion of the cabinet adjacent a front defining wall thereof. A side of the housing adjacent the front defining wall has a vertically elongated transparent portion disposed coextensively in alignment with a vertically elongated window in the front defining wall of the cabinet. The transparent portion of the housing may comprise a vertically extending tubular member disposed in communication with additive liquid in the housing such that the level of liquid in the tubular member is an indication of the level of liquid in the housing. A light radiating means may be disposed adjacent the tubular member which may have wall portions coated with light reflective material for illuminating the liquid in the tubular member.

Inventors:

Robert E. Wolfe - Holliston MA
Johnson Hsu - Framingham MA

Assignee:

Holmes Products Corp. - Milford MA

International Classification:

F04D 2960

US Classification:

416246

Abstract:

A support particularly adapted to support an electric fan is provided. The support has a cam action quick release mechanism which is movable between locked and free positions. When the release mechanism is in the free position the fan can be easily rotated to a desired degree of tilt about a horizontal axis. When the release mechanism is in the locked position rotation of the fan is prevented. The support also includes tilt limiting mechanisms which sets a predetermined forward and backward limitation on fan rotation.

Appl. No.:

7/383781

Inventors:

Robert E. Wolfe - Millis MA
John S. Sklenak - Sudbury MA

Assignee:

Raytheon Company - Lexington MA

International Classification:

H05B 680
B65D 8134

US Classification:

219 1055E

Abstract:

A disposable container for heating seeds, kernels, nuts, grains, popcorn or the like items, using microwave radiation. The container comprises a can-shaped package having a floor where the items are placed and held in a clump. As the items are heated with microwave radiation, the items pop, the cover panel and/or container walls expand to form a new shape wherein the walls are inclined toward the floor. As the items pop, the unpopped items continue to be directed into a clump. Alternatively, a ferrite and metal material may be placed on the floor to enhance the heating process.
