This application relates generally to breakrooms. More specifically, this application relates to a simple portable dolly or cart that contains the major appliances and facilities of a breakroom.
The drawings, when considered in connection with the following description, are presented for the purpose of facilitating an understanding of the subject matter sought to be protected.
While the present disclosure is explained with reference to several illustrative embodiments described herein, it should be clear that the present disclosure should not be limited to such embodiments. Therefore, the description of the embodiments provided herein is illustrative of the present disclosure and should not limit the scope of the disclosure as claimed. In addition, while the following description references using a dolly or a cart that include a stack of small appliances, it will be appreciated that the disclosure may include other forms of carts and appliance arrangements to which the disclosed apparatus also apply. Furthermore, these apparatus may be utilized for jobsites such as building construction sites, parties, trips, picnics, poolside, camping grounds and the like.
The disclosed apparatus teach the manufacturing and construction of convenient, versatile, and portable/moveable/transportable small kitchens and recreation rooms. These apparatus basically need electricity. In some embodiments the disclosed apparatus may also be attached to a water supply, in which case they provide all the facilities and amenities of house kitchens and/or recreation rooms. In various embodiments and examples, the appliances and facilities of the disclosed mini-breakrooms may be easily replaced or be interchanged with other appliances and facilities.
Traditionally, as illustrated in
The system 200, in some embodiments, may also include power and/or water connectors or ports that easily mate with power or water connectors or ports of mini appliances upon placing the desired appliances in their allotted spaces. This easy installation of the facilities and the simple exchange or replacement of appliances also prevent entanglement of multiple cables or pipes traditionally attached to the appliances. To use this advantage of the system 200, mini amenities and appliances may be manufactured with special connectors that can mate with system 200 connectors. Such connectors are known to all those skill in the related arts. The system 200 may additionally include a GPS for locating the system 200 in case of theft or misplacement and/or an alarm that is activated in case of an unauthorized attempt to move the system 200 and/or to use any of its facilities. In various embodiments the system 200 is capable of broadcasting its location. In some embodiments of system 200 one or more locking mechanisms are furnished to lock individual amenities or to open and close all facilities together. There may also be a mechanical and/or an electrical key/switch that cuts the power and/or the water to the system 200 amenities even though the dolly receives power and/or water. In various embodiments some or all of the amenities may have a male electrical plug attached to them to be able to be connected, for example, to an extension cord or a power supply outlet.
In
Also, as accessories each appliance/facility may have magnets connected to its side(s), retractable or non-retractable handle(s) on its top or side(s), tool charger hooks, and retractable or folding chair(s). Such accessories may also be attached to any part of system 200.
Changes can be made to the claimed invention in light of the above Detailed Description. While the above description details certain embodiments of the invention and describes the best mode contemplated, no matter how detailed the above appears in text, the claimed invention can be practiced in many ways. Details of the system may vary considerably in its implementation details, while still being encompassed by the claimed invention disclosed herein.
Particular terminology used when describing certain features or aspects of the invention should not be taken to imply that the terminology is being redefined herein to be restricted to any specific characteristics, features, or aspects of the invention with which that terminology is associated. In general, the terms used in the following claims should not be construed to limit the claimed invention to the specific embodiments disclosed in the specification, unless the above Detailed Description section explicitly defines such terms. Accordingly, the actual scope of the claimed invention encompasses not only the disclosed embodiments, but also all equivalent ways of practicing or implementing the claimed invention.
It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B,” and also the phrase “A and/or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
The above specification, examples, and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the composition of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended. It is further understood that this disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
While the present disclosure has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
