International Classification:

B65B 31/02
B65B 7/00

US Classification:

53432, 53476

Abstract:

According to the invention air is trapped at an origin location in a container, and the container is sealed to hermetically confine the trapped air therein. The container is then provided with literature identifying the origin location at which the air was trapped and giving other information regarding this origin location. Then the container with the literature is shipped to a destination location distant from the origin location. Finally the container is opened and the trapped air is consumed.

International Classification:

F17C 13/00
B65B 61/02

US Classification:

2066, 53411, 53467

Abstract:

Air is trapped in a container at an origin location associated with an event, and the container is sealed to hermetically confine the trapped air therein. The container is provided with a commemorative object or indicia identifying the event associated with the air that was trapped, typically by fixing the object on the container or on a support carrying the container. The container with the commemorative object are then moved to a destination location distant from the location at which the event took place, and the container holding the air and provided with the commemorative object is displayed there.

Inventors:

Edward HELBLING - Northport NY, US

International Classification:

F17C 13/00
F16K 21/16

US Classification:

2066, 251 22

Abstract:

A closed container having an interior at subatmospheric pressure is provided with an insert having top and bottom telescoped sleeves defining a closed chamber. The bottom sleeve has a bottom wall formed with a hole exposed at or through the container to ambient air at ambient pressure. The top sleeve is movable relative to the bottom sleeve between a raised position standing up from the bottom sleeve and a lowered position nested with the bottom sleeve. Latch elements connected between the sleeves are operable from outside the container between a latching position engaged together and preventing the top sleeve from moving into the raised position and a disengaged position permitting such movement. Thus, when the latch elements are moved out of the engaged position, the top sleeve moves into the raised position and air is aspirated through the hole into the chamber.

Inventors:

Edward Helbling - Commack NY

International Classification:

A47J 3134

US Classification:

99280

Abstract:

A coffee brewing machine utilizes a microprocessor controller and, preferably, preformed coffee filter packs in which the filter packs form a rectangular array. The microprocessor controller regulates the temperature of the prepared coffee in the reservoir at the base of the machine, the operation of the water distributor in the swingable lid or cover of the machine and of other operating conditions thereof.

US Classification:

364401

Abstract:

A multiplicity of charitable collection stations are provided with selectors for choosing the charity to which a contribution is destined, a change maker for issuing change if desired, a display for displaying information with respect to premiums available and contributions made, and a modem or other telecommunicator for two-way communications with a central station. The central station communicates with the individual charitable institutions to provide information as to monies collected and signals the machines as to premiums available like food-service items, travel awards and the like.

Inventors:

Edward Helbling - Commack NY

International Classification:

A47J 3142
A47J 3100

US Classification:

426231

Abstract:

A plurality of carafes on a coffee machine primarily for restaurant and institution use can be filled selectively with decaffeinated or normal coffee via a distributor between a brewing chamber and the outlets to the carafes. The microprocessor controller operates the device selecting the coffee for delivery to the brewing chamber in response to signals received from the carafes if they are placed at respective stations on the machine so that a decaffeinated carafe at any station will receive only decaf and a normal carafe will receive only normal coffee regardless of the station at which it is placed.
