Dubnium - Part 5


Dubnium - Part 4

Every good coffee machine should have its warranty!

Mr. Stern's coffee machines were guaranteed 2 years... mine is still in working order... it is more than 50 years old.




Dubnium - Part 3


Dubnium - Part 2

Here is the original Patent from the collection of the Stern Family.

The Cut of the machine was later added by Mr. Stern secretary... this time she has put the right one on it!

Mr. Stern doesn't make a secret about it. His coffee machine is based on a most famous shape.

The shape of the letter "C":


Here it is:





Dubnium - Part one

Why on Earth did i choose Dubnium for these Blogsposts?

Dubnium is a Chemical Element with the atomic weight of 105.

It is impossible to find in Nature.

That makes it very similar to the following machine:


Patented coffee machine, Szigony, Budapest, by Desider Stern

Mr. Desider Stern, while working with his friend Imre Simon, in the business Szigony, Budapest patented many inventions, mostly coffee makers and electrical cooking items.

Has this coffee maker ever been manufactured?

This picture also stroke a cord as i saw it:

I also collect adverts of the Bohn company, an Aluminium and Brass corporation based in Detroit. I really appreciate the graphic language of the designer Arthur Radebaugh.

I decided to share these 2 adverts with you today (I have more than 20 original newspaper cuts).
These 2 date 1946 and 1947:



I do have some Hungarian visitors sometimes, this is for them:




Have a nice day!

One Striking Prototype from Imre Simon (Szigony, Budapest)

Just enjoy the pictures this time... the first thing that came in my mind when i saw it is the Large Horse sculpture of Raymond Duchamp-Villon... and i can't even explain you why... it doesn't even look similar... It was more an emotional feeling.


The Patent:




The Prototype:






In the realm of coffee makers...

About a year ago, this phrase stroke me:



Everyone has the right to have a point of view and i am the first to respect that!

But sometimes it comes to "who said it" and "in which purpose"...

... i have other points of views.

Let's take a simple example on a less disputable trademark:

PICCOLO

The trademark Piccolo was used in Hungary by the Szigony business of Imre Simon in Budapest on several machines:




In Vienna, Desider Stern, who recorded the trademark "Piccolo" also named at least 2 of his machines Piccolo:

The model 306E:


And the model 305E:




That's for the Trademark...

For the coffee machines, each invention was patented, may it be in Budapest or Vienna...

The Model Elektro in Budapest by Desider Stern:



The Model 305E and 306E use the same patent, registered by Desider Stern in Vienna:



The last invention, for the model picture 3rd from top, was registered by Imre Simon in Budapest:




Imagine now, there would be "The Piccolo coffee machine"... How would it look like? On which shape would it be based? Who would be the inventor of the Piccolo? On which ground would you say that this particular model is "The Piccolo" and not "A Piccolo" among others?

And above all... how would you argument it, apart from saying "people say"?

Unfortunately, i can't find out who said this monumental phrase (Was it Marilyn Monroe in an interview in 1953-54?), but i relate to this:

I am not people.


Let's celebrate the day!

In my research, there has been a Pre-11th of July 2011 and a Post-11th of July 2011...


Today, 23rd of December 2011, both children of Mr.&Mm. Stern are meeting both children of Mr. &Mm. Simon in Budapest!!! A reunion after more than 30 years...

Dear Family Simon, Dear Family Stern,

Today, i will be in Budapest with all of my heart, all of my soul and all of my mind.

Enjoy the day!

CARPE DIEM


You are the Crown of my Research!


Thank you!
