| 20080264265 | Ice coffee maker - An ice coffee maker includes an electric heating percolator and a coffee pot. The electric heating percolator heats and boils coffee, which flows in the coffee pot. The coffee pot consists of an outer container with an upper opening and a front spout, and an inner container cone-shaped with a hole and an upper disk rim provided with a front notch to face the spout of the outer container. An inner container lid sealingly closes on the opening of the inner container. An outer container lid closes the opening of the outer container. In using, ice cubes are placed in the inner container, with the inner container lid closing up the opening. Then the inner container is placed in the outer container, with the disk rim closing up the opening of the outer container, which is superposed with the opening of the inner container. Then the coffee pot is placed under the electric percolator, so hot coffee flows into the outer container through the space defined by the notches of the inner container and the outer container lid and by the spout of the outer container to let the coffee cool off quickly and become ice coffee. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080307976 | ELECTRIC GRILL WITH SKEWER HOLDERS - An electric grill with skewer holders has a first grill plate and a second grill plate for roasting various foods. Each of the first and second grill plates has at least one side wall formed with a plurality of concave portions so that a plurality of skewers skewered with foodstuffs can be positioned in a plurality of holes defined by the concave portions and holding ends of the skewers can be exposed out of the electric grill for preventing the holding ends from being heated by the high temperature in the electric grill and stained with oil leaked from the foodstuffs sandwiched between the grill plates so that the skewers can be conveniently held by hand without burning and staining hands with oil. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090235701 | Safety Device for Cap of Liner of Thermos Bottle - A safety device of a cap sealing a liner of a thermos bottle comprises a rod of a pushing member passing through a through hole of a lock assembly that is for being screws with the opening of the liner wherein after the rod is pierced into an accommodating space of the lock assembly and combined with components therein, the rod juts out a fastening member deposited in the depression of the cap to be combined with a moving member, whereby when there is a pressurized steam in the liner, the steam lifts the pushing member so that the rod pushes upward to disengage the moving member from a recess of the fastening member and in turn sit the moving member in the corresponding gaps of the upper decorating plate so that this point, even if the cap is rotated, the cap does not drive the lock assembly to rotate. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100020552 | LAMP ASSEMBLY - A lamp assembly comprises a lamp cover formed with a plurality of through holes on a peripheral surface thereof. The lamp cover accommodates a positioning element made of a tough material for framing a light-penetrable element therein. The lamp cover fitted with the light-penetrable element allows a plurality of resilient catch elements formed on a periphery of a reflective housing to engage with the through holes formed on the lamp cover at corresponding locations, so that the lamp assembly can be assembled, and have its components rapidly positioned in place, by engaging the components to one another, rather than by screwing with threaded fasteners, thereby simplifying fabrication of the lamp assembly. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100027226 | Touch Control Panel - A touch control panel for use with a coffeemaker is disclosed. In the touch control panel, a PC board unit provided with backlight plates and a printed panel are secured to an inner side of a front decorative cover, made of a transparent material, with threaded fasteners. Protrusions formed on the front decorative cover and on an upper front decorative cover are engaged with corresponding cavities on a back panel. A back panel cover is engaged in the back panel at a location adjacent to a rear side of the PC board unit. An upper decorative strip and a lower decorative strip are affixed to an outer side of the front decorative cover. The touch control panel is secured to a front side of an upper body and of a lower body of the coffeemaker to serve both decorative and functional purposes. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100199848 | Automatic Beverage Maker - An automatic beverage maker is provided. The automatic beverage maker is configured for storing raw materials of various hot drinks in vacuum, grinding the raw material of a hot drink to be made into powder with a grinding module, displacing an inlet cover at an upper end of a steeping chamber with a translational transport module so as to introduce the powder of the raw material of the hot drink to be made into the steeping chamber, and guiding hot boiled water in an internal water tank to drip into the steeping chamber, thus forming a convenient hot drink making mechanism. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100206176 | Hot Drink Maker - A hot drink maker is provided. The hot drink maker includes a heating device for making various hot drinks. The heating device can be set in advance with a desired temperature and time for making a hot drink so that the heating device heats Water to the desired temperature and pumps the heated water into a steeping space in which a bag containing a raw material of the hot drink is placed. When the set time is up, a cam is driven to rotate, thereby pushing a pushing rod upward. Consequently, a seesaw element resiliently engaged with a plug rod at an end of an outlet of a steeping chamber is tilted so as to discharge a finished hot drink prepared by steeping into an adjacent pitcher along the lowered plug rod, and thus the hot drinkis made conveniently. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100251899 | BREWING DEVICE OF COFFEMAKER - A brewing device of a coffeemaker includes a base to which a filter cup loaded with ground coffee is assembled from below. Hot water in a heating tank of a delivery system is guided into a guide tube of the brewing device, flows through a sliding element and a downward pressing element, and finally drips onto and thus infuses the ground coffee in the filter cup, thereby making caffè espresso. When the delivery system switches to a different waterway and guides the hot water through a lower water inlet opening at the filter cup, caffè Americano, i.e., a diluted caffè espresso, is made instead. Thus, the coffeemaker is capable of making both caffè espresso and caffè Americano. Besides, the hot water guided through the lower water inlet opening at the filter cup also purges a bottom space in the filter cup of coffee ground. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100258009 | Ground Coffee Extraction Apparatus - A ground coffee extraction apparatus has a base to which a filter cup loaded with ground coffee is assembled from below. A delivery system pumps cool water from a cool water tank into the extraction apparatus. The cool water exerts a downward force greater than a resilient force of resilient elements of the extraction apparatus to drive a sliding element and a downward pressing element downward. Consequently, an O-ring seals a gap between the downward pressing element and the filter cup while the downward force is evenly applied to the ground coffee in the filter cup, thereby sealing and compacting the ground coffee hydraulically. After coffee is extracted, the cool water is drawn back into the cool water tank so that the sliding element and the downward pressing element are moved upward to unseal the filter cup. Hence, the automatic extraction apparatus enables rapid, uniform, and standardized sealing and compacting. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100269703 | Water Feeding Device of Hot Drink Maker - A water feeding device of a hot drink maker, particularly of a coffeemaker, is provided wherein a water feeding operation and a water heating time are controlled by a water temperature sensor, a computer circuit board, and a motor, all of which are installed in the hot drink maker. The motor is driven according to a sensing result obtained by sensing water temperature at a predetermined position, so as to push heated water smoothly and completely into an inlet of a brewing chamber. Thus, ground coffee in the brewing chamber is infused by the liquid-state heated water of a predetermined temperature to make a hot drink with a desirable taste. | 10-28-2010 |
