Abstract: This disclosure includes a description of luggage devices configured to provide convenient access to sanitizers. The luggage device can include a receptacle having an opening to receive a sanitizer container therein. The luggage device can include a support that is translated or moved within the receptacle by way of a push-to-release mechanism. The push-to-release mechanism can translate or move the support between a deployed position in which the sanitizer container is at least partially exposed outside the receptacle and a stowed position in which the sanitizer container is disposed inside the receptacle. The luggage device can include a dispenser that enables the user to dispense sanitizer from a sanitization container in the receptacle.

Abstract: This disclosure includes a description of a public-surface contact-avoidance device comprising a container configured to store an item to be used repeatedly by a user; and a public contact device attached to the container; wherein the container is configured to be held by the user in a manner that allows the user to contact the public contact device with public surfaces without requiring the user to touch the public surfaces with the user's hands. In some embodiments, a liquid container comprises a bottle comprising a storage portion and a lid portion, the bottle being configured to store liquid for drinking; and a contact device affixed to the bottle; wherein the contact device is configured to be used to actuate a door without requiring contact between the door and the user's hands. In some embodiments, a method of actuating a device, such as a door or key pad, includes obtaining a liquid container with an integral public contact device; grasping the liquid container; and contacting the public contact device of the liquid container with the device to be actuated without requiring direct contact between the user's hands and the device to be actuated.

Abstract: A mirror assembly can include a housing, a mirror, and a light source. In some embodiments, the mirror comprises one or more adjustable sections. In certain embodiments, the mirror includes a light column configured to emit a substantially constant amount of light along a periphery of a mirror section. In some embodiments, the light column can produce various color temperatures. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly comprises a capacitive touch sensor that allows control of one or more features of the light emitted from the light source. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly includes a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly can be configured to control on/off settings and other features of the emitted light.
