Latest Patents
One of his notable inventions is the "Refrigerator Door Vacuum Preservation System." This system features a hands-free vacuum preservation mechanism mounted on the refrigerator door. It includes a main body with a slot for receiving a plastic bag, where sensors detect the bag's presence. A retaining device punctures the bag and holds it in place for vacuum sealing. The system connects to a vacuum source to remove air from the bag, and a heat sealer closes it. Once a consumer's hand is detected, the retaining device releases the bag, allowing for convenient storage.
Another significant patent is the "Refrigerator Vacuum Storage System." This system consists of a removable bin or drawer unit within the refrigerator. It can operate in either a storage or vacuum sealing configuration, effectively removing air from food preservation containers equipped with one-way evacuation valves. A control interface activates the vacuum source, drawing air from the storage space and reducing the pressure below atmospheric levels. Once the desired pressure is achieved, the vacuum source deactivates, and an equalizing valve restores atmospheric pressure.
