IPC: F16N1/00
Filed: 2001-09-07
Granted: 2006-11-28
Abstract: An exercise treadmill is disclosed which includes various features to enhance user operation and to reduce maintenance costs. These features include handlebars with an upwardly curved center section and outwardly flared side portions along with pivoting rear legs for the treadmill frame. The control panel features include snap-in user trays and an overlay covering the numerical key pad along with an auxiliary control panel having a subset of user controls that are larger and more easy to use than the same controls on the main control panel. Maintenance enhancing features include the provision for access panels in the treadmill housing and a belt lubrication system that uses a priming pulse to clear the wax spraying nozzle along with using treadmill operating criteria for scheduling and operating the lubrication system. For injection molded parts such as the control panel, structural strength is enhanced by utilizing gas-assist injection molding to form structural ribs.  Another feature includes pre-glazing the treadmill belt. Sound and vibration are reduced in a treadmill by mounting the treadmill belt drive motor on motor isolation mounts that include resilient members. A further feature is a double sided waxed deck where one side of the deck is covered by a protective tape.

Abstract: Food cooking apparatus for melting cheese disposed on a food product. The cheese topped food product, for example a bun half, burger party an d cheese stack, is transferred in and out of a cooking chamber by a trolley. Entry of the trolley to the cooking chamber starts a cooking cycle. A steam generator provides pressurized steam from a location just above the cheese by a distan ce of up to about 2.0 inches for a short time until the cheese is melted. The trolley carries a transport medium upon which the food product is placed. A pluralit y of holes is disposed in the medium to remove from it any water formed by condensation. The steam generator includes a heated platen and a lid that fo rm a steam generating chamber. Water is injected into the chamber onto the heated platen in a small enough quantity that substantially all of the water is converted to steam substantially instantaneously. The steam quickly pressurizes the chamber and is forced through passageways disposed in bosses that extend from the platen into the chamber. The steam exits the passageways on the outside surface of the platen.

Abstract: A mukti-functional fastener driver device l0 that is capable of providing rotational force to fasteners having different configurations (hexagonal, flathead, wingnut or hook screw, for example) to urge a preselected fastener into a workpiece. The device 10 includes a first portion 12 that is secured, via a shank portion 16, to a tool providing rotary force, and a second portion 14 that transfers the rotary force to a preselected fastener via a plurality of arm members 30. The arm members 30 are configured from multiple apertures 24 and 38, and slots 32 and 34. The arm members 30 engage the fastener and force the fastener to rotate thereby "screwing" the fastener into the workpiece. When fasteners are to large to rotate without deforming the arm members 30, a sleeve 42 is utilized to snugly receive the device 10 therein to maintain the arm members 30 configuration while rotating the fastener. Further, the sleeve 42 includes opposing recesses 52 in an end wall 50. The recesses 52 are adapted to align with a slot 32 or 34 in a fastener receiving end 25 of the device 10 to allow the drive ends of large fasteners to be engaged by both the device 10 and the sleeve 42.
