A toaster oven includes a modular storage compartment. The sidewalls of the storage compartment are vertically aligned with the sidewalls of the toaster oven. The respective sidewalls of the toaster oven and the storage compartment are connected to each other for securing the modular storage compartment to the toaster oven. The front wall of the storage compartment is movable relative to the sidewalls to provide access to the interior of the compartment.

Toaster oven with modular storage compartment

A system for connecting an appliance to a bottom surface of a kitchen cabinet, the system comprising at least two brackets and at least one mounting section connected to the appliance. The brackets are connectable to the bottom surface of the kitchen cabinet at any one of a number of different suitable spacing distances between the two brackets. The mounting section is connected to the appliance for mounting the appliance to the brackets. The mounting section is adapted to connect to the brackets when the brackets are at any one of the different suitable spacing distances.

Small appliance modular hanger system

A vacuum cleaner with a removable collection module. The module has a combined collection assembly and filter element. The collection assembly has a one-piece frame and a cover attached to an open rear end of the frame. The filter element is permanently attached to the cover on an interior side. The cover has ribs that space the filter element from a rear side of the cover and form an air flow space between the filter element and the cover. The cover is mounted on a flange of the frame with a frictional air-tight connection.

Vacuum cleaner with combined filter element and collection unit

A vacuum cleaner having a floor traveling head with wheels and an elongate handle pivotably connected to the head. The head has two motors; one connected to an impeller and one connected to a rotatable brush. The head has rechargeable batteries therein for supplying electricity to the motors and a three position electrical switch. All working components of the vacuum cleaner, including an air filter and dust/dirt collection cup, are in the floor traveling head. The handle has no working components thereon.

Vacuum cleaner with all components in floor traveling head

A vacuum cleaner with a floor traveling head having a housing, a rotatable brush, and two motors. The housing has a suction inlet with an entrance at its bottom and a separate pocket in the bottom of the housing for the rotatable brush. A wall of the housing separates the pocket from the suction inlet such that the entrance to the suction inlet has a relatively small area to maximize vacuum pull at the entrance. The suction inlet has a lower section with straight wall sections that are angled to form smaller areas at the lateral ends of the suction inlet. The suction inlet has an exit aperture directly into a collection assembly such that air velocity increases from the lower section to the upper section and then decreases from the upper section into the collection assembly.

Vacuum cleaner with improved suction inlet

A vacuum cleaner with a removable collection module. The module has a combined collection assembly and filter element. The collection assembly has a one-piece frame and a cover attached to an open rear end of the frame. The filter element is permanently attached to the cover on an interior side. The cover has ribs that space the filter element from a rear side of the cover and form an air flow space between the filter element and the cover. The cover is mounted on a flange of the frame with a frictional airtight connection.

The transport and storage container receives an ink replenishing system characterized by housing defining a well and having a rim formed around the well opening. An ink tray is slidably supported to the forward portion of the rim. A supply and drain pump are mounted to the bottom of the housing and hoses communication the pumps and ink tray. The transport and storage container includes a housing defining a chamber open at the top, a plurality of support surfaces, and a rim formed around said chamber opening. A support rim is formed within the chamber for supporting the ink replenishing system.
