| 20090094823 | METHOD OF MAKING A MICROWAVE FIELD DIRECTOR STRUCTURE HAVING V-SHAPED VANE DOUBLETS - A method of making a self-supporting field director structure for use in heating an article in a microwave oven comprises in any operative order, the steps of:
| 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095741 | MICROWAVE FIELD DIRECTOR STRUCTURE WITH VANES HAVING A CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL THEREON - A reusable self-supporting field director for use in heating an article in a microwave oven is characterized by a plurality of vanes, with each vane extending radially outwardly from a central axis. Each vane is angularly adjacent to two other vanes. Each vane has a substrate formed from an electrically non-conductive material, with a portion of the major surface of each vane having an electrically conductive material thereon. A vane support structure is attached to the vanes. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095743 | Molded Microwave Field Director Structure - A reusable self-supporting field director structure for use in heating an article in a microwave oven is characterized by an integral array of rigid vanes extending radially outwardly from a central axis, the vanes being molded from an electrically non-conductive heat-resistant material. At least a portion of one major surface of each vane has an electrically conductive material embedded thereinto. The electrically non-conductive heat-resistant material is either a polymeric resin (with an optional reinforcing matrix) or paperboard material. A plurality of bracing members, each extending between the first major surface of one vane and the second major surface of an adjacent vane, may be integrally molded into the field director structure. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095744 | Microwave Field Director Structure With Laminated Vanes - A reusable self-supporting field director for use in heating an article in a microwave oven is characterized by a plurality of vanes, with each vane extending radially outwardly from a central axis. Each vane is angularly adjacent to two other vanes and is attached to each other at their inner ends. Each vane has a predetermined thickness dimension. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095745 | Microwave Field Director Structure Having Vanes With Inner Ends Wrapped With A Conductive Wrapper - A reusable self-supporting field director for use in heating an article in a microwave oven is characterized by a plurality of vanes, with each vane extending radially outwardly from a central axis. Each vane is angularly adjacent to two other vanes and is attached to each other at their inner ends. Each vane has a predetermined thickness dimension. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095746 | Microwave Field Director Structure Having Vanes Covered With A Conductive Sheath - A reusable self-supporting field director for use in heating an article in a microwave oven is characterized by a plurality of vanes, with each vane extending radially outwardly from a central axis. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095747 | Microwave Field Director Structure Having Vanes With Outer Ends Wrapped With A Conductive Wrapper - A reusable self-supporting field director for use in heating an article in a microwave oven is characterized by a plurality of vanes, with each vane extending radially outwardly from a central axis. Each vane is angularly adjacent to two other vanes and is attached to each other at their inner ends. Each vane has a predetermined thickness dimension. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095748 | Microwave Field Director Structure Having V-Shaped Vane Doublets - A self-supporting field director structure for use in heating an article in a microwave oven is characterized by a vane array comprising a plurality of V-shaped vane doublets, wherein each vane doublet itself comprises a first and a second vane. Each vane extends radially outwardly from the central axis. Each vane has a substrate formed from an electrically non-conductive material, with a portion of each vane being electrically conductive. A vane support structure is attached to the vane array. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095749 | Microwave Field Director Structure Having Metal Vanes - A self-supporting field director structure for use in heating an article in a microwave oven includes a plurality of vanes connected to a central support member. Each vane is formed from an electrically conductive metallic material. Each vane extends radially outwardly from a central axis, with the radially inner end of each vane being spaced a predetermined separation distance from the axis. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090114643 | COLLAPSIBLE FIELD DIRECTOR STRUCTURE - A collapsible field director structure convertible from a collapsed to a deployed state includes at least one master vane and at least a first and a second slave vane. The master vane includes a conductive flap having at least one electrically conductive region thereon. The conductor flap is attached to the mounting flange for articulable movement with respect thereto. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090117338 | MULTI-PANEL BLANK WITH PARALLEL PANEL AXES FOR A COLLAPSIBLE FIELD DIRECTOR STRUCTURE - A sheet blank for forming a collapsible field director structure comprises a sheet of nonconductive material having at least three panels thereon, one of the panels being a master panel and the other two panels being slave panels. Each panel is substantially rectangular in shape and has elongated upper and lower edges and two relatively shorter side edges. Each panel is connected to at least one adjacent panel along an elongated edge. | 05-07-2009 |
