Drain pan for vehicle fluids

A fluid funnel includes an open-topped mouth for receiving DEF or other liquids from a jug or other source; an elongated hollow stem depending from the mouth for directing the fluids from the mouth into a DEF tank or other fluid receptacle; and a tapered throat that joins the mouth and stem. The funnel more effectively direct fluids into a tank, even when the funnel is tilted; inhibits fluids from backing-up into the mouth and/or spilling out of the funnel; prevents displaced air from bubbling up through fluids in the mouth; and more firmly engages and seats within a tank port.

An electric heater assembly which provides an alarm warning when an abnormal condition occurs and which simultaneously disables the electrical heating elements is provided. The heater element assembly includes a heating element, an electrically actuated alarm which provides an alarm warning when an abnormal condition occurs, and a tip-over switch which provides a closed circuit when the heater is in a predetermined level position and which provides an open circuit when the heater is tilted beyond a selected tilt angle. The electrical heating element, electrically actuated alarm, and tip-over switch are electrically connected such that the tip-over switch disables the heating element and actuates the alarm when the tip-over switch is in one of the open and closed positions, and such that the tip-over switch enables the heating element and disables the alarm when the tip-over switch is in the other of the open closed positions.

Electrical heater

A food processor for cutting, comminuting and blending various culinary ingredients includes a drive unit which is expressly designed for installation on the underside of kitchen cabinets and at least one food receiving container having a rotating cutter assembly disposed therein. The rotating cutter assembly includes a pair of blades slidably mounted upon a shaft which food in opposite directions to improve the uniformity of cutting and blending. The food container is slidably received in the drive unit and a connection and release mechanism therein automatically interconnects the cutter assembly with an output drive member in the drive unit when the food container is fully seated therein. A release mechanism may be manually activated to disconnect the drive member prior to the removal of the food container from the drive unit.

Food processor for under cabinet mounting

A steam cooking utensil is disclosed which includes a base; a boiling water reservoir and a condensate trough defined by the base; and a heater disposed centrally to the boiling water reservoir, mounted in the base, and coupled to a thermostat also mounted in the base. The condensate trough is disposed in annular relationship to the boiling water reservoir. A food tray defining a imperforate central surface and an array of peripheral aperatures is supported such that the imperforate surface is vertically aligned with the boiling water reservoir and the array of peripheral apertures is vertically aligned with the condensate trough. A cover having a bottom opening defined by a rim is positioned over the food tray, condensate trough and boiling water reservoir, such that the rim cooperates with an outer peripheral lip of the condensate trough to form a seal. The disclosed steam cooking utensil operates to cook food quickly, cleanly and efficiently. The boiling water reservoir remains free from condensate residues even after boiling dry, and the food product remains free from excess moisture.
