Abstract: A wall anchor for use in a cavity wall that connects to a veneer tie to join an inner wythe and an outer wythe of the cavity wall includes an elongate body and a collar. The elongate body has a driven end and a driving end and defines a longitudinal axis extending between the driven and driving ends. The collar connects to the veneer tie. The collar includes a body mounting portion mounted on the elongate body. The body mounting portion defines an aperture through which the elongate body extends and includes a first aperture forming portion and a second aperture forming portion. The first and second aperture forming portions define at least a portion of the aperture through which the elongate body extends. The first and second aperture forming portions are longitudinally offset with respect to one another along the longitudinal axis of the elongate body.

Abstract: A cooking appliance has a base with an upstanding wall defining a hollow interior with an opening. The base is configured to support a cooking grate adjacent to the opening. A lid is configured to be removably attached to the base and allow access to the cooking grate. An electrical cooking element is spaced from the grate and positioned in the hollow interior. A passage is formed in the upstanding wall and has a closure moveable between a closed position and an open position. In the open position, the passage receives and supports the cooking element in the hollow interior of the base to enable cooking with electricity via the cooking element. In the closed position, the closure of the passage at least partially blocks access through the passage into the hollow interior to enable cooking with a combustible solid material deposited in the base without the cooking element.

Abstract: A lid and adaptor assembly capable of being used with at least two food containers such as baking pans having different external dimensions. A pair of clasps are rotatably disposed on opposite side of the lid, each clasp capable of being rotated from an open position to a closed position. A pair of adaptors are provided for connection to the clasps in a first orientation and a second orientation, and each adaptor has a first surface capable of engaging a first food container when the adaptor is in the first orientation, and a second surface capable of engaging a second food container when the adaptor is in the second orientation. A pair of flexible fingers may also be used on the clasp to act as the adaptors to enable use with food containers having different external dimensions.
