Abstract:
A container (10) comprising a body (11) having an internal container space (18) and an opening (14), the opening (14) being biased to a substantially closed configuration, at least opposing sections (12, 13) of the container (10) being resiliently biased towards each other to minimize the volume of the internal container space (18), wherein a user can insert at least one item into the container space (18) through the opening (14) in use by temporary deformation of at least a portion of the container (10), and the resilient bias of the at least opposing sections (12, 13) of the container (10) can apply a compressive force in use to the at least one item received in the container space (18).
Abstract:
A method to increase the face value of a coin to be used as legal tender. The coin contains indicia, which specify the increased value, and motivates distribution and circulation. Optionally, the increased value of the coin may be reversed, and the coin returned to its original value.
Abstract:
A personal items retrieval system including, at least, a first receptacle for receiving a specific first personal item, a first receptacle label that identifies the specific first personal item, a second receptacle for receiving a specific second personal item, and a second receptacle label that identifies the specific second personal item. Including an individual, separate receptacle as well as a label for a specific item on each receptacle provides a visual cue that an item may be misplaced, for example before the owner needs the item. Each specific personal item is uniquely paired with a receptacle and a label, thereby providing a convenient indication of whether the specific personal item is within its designated location, or whether the specific personal item may need to be located.
Abstract:
A jewelry storage system having a protective jewelry sleeve and a display board is disclosed. The display board has a rigid insert disposed inside a sleeve cover with at least one securing band wrapped fully around the sleeve cover and at least one clasp loop forming at least two open slots with a center bridge formed therebetween. The protective jewelry sleeve forming a sleeve with a single open end sized to dispose the display board therein. The protective jewelry sleeve having a closure cuff configured to flip over the open end of the protective jewelry sleeve and cover the open end of the protective jewelry sleeve disposed proximal the open end and an identification marker cuff configured to hold an identification marker with indicia of the contents of the jewelry storage system disposed distal the open end.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flip cover plate (10) for a mobile terminal, the plate comprising: a cover plate inserted into a flip cover which opens and closes the front portion of the mobile terminal; and a transparent window coupled to one side of the cover plate and exposing a portion of a liquid crystal of the mobile terminal to the outside when the flip cover is positioned at the front portion of the mobile terminal, wherein the transparent window is configured to be bonded to at least one surface of the cover plate corresponding to in opening of the flip cover. Accordingly, the present invention has an advantage of maximizing productivity compared to production through one by one cutting processes by means of a conventional numerically controlled machine tool. Furthermore, since the transparent window is not simultaneously molded when the cover plate is injection-molded, the present invention has advantages of simplifying the shape of a mold, thereby being capable of reducing manufacturing costs, as well as reducing manufacturing time and also the failure rate of products since the manufacturing of parts proceeds in parallel.
Abstract:
The Dollar Coin Converter is an annular attachment to a United States dollar coin, which semi-permanently converts the coin into a size that is tactilely and visually, more easily distinguished from the United States quarter coin. It allows advertising and marketing on the faces of the annular attachment to provide incentives to circulate the coin, saving billions of dollars. The Dollar Coin Converter is made of inexpensive, one-piece or two-piece construction. It holds a dollar coin securely, and will tolerate normal handling, cash transactions, flipping, or jostling in a coin purse, pocket or money bag without unintentional release of the coin. The coin may be easily removed or replaced even by a child or a person with long finger nails for use in a vending machine. The converted dollar coin retains the inherent magnetic and electrical, anti-counterfeiting characteristics of the dollar coin.
Abstract:
This invention is a Revolutionary protective Cuffed Jewelry Sleeve and Jewelry Display Board set for storing and protecting each individual pieces of jewelry stored within group storage of multiple items. Revolutionizing existing group storage solutions and adaptable to new and creative storage containers and hanging mechanism with effective protection and permanent organization of multiple pieces of jewelry stored together including eliminating damaging tangling, bunching and/or folding from use of under-sized jewelry boxes and drop-in bags and pouches commonly used for single-piece jewelry storage. Each individual piece of jewelry is secured in place to a Display Board with its style and length displayed and inserted inside its protective and securely cuff-capped Jewelry sleeve with a visible identification cuff displaying the jewelry identification and/or photo image for selection without visibility while simultaneously protecting and storing each individual stored-ready for display and packed-ready for travel.
Abstract:
A cap for a water bottle has an integral light director lens for guiding light into the bottle. A portable light is temporally retained on the top, outside of the cap. In that position light from the light is directed by the structure of the cap into the bottle. To retain a light with straps, such as a headlamp, the straps can be placed under fingers of the sides of the cap. This can allow the strap to be a handle for the resulting lamp. Alternatively, elastomeric straps, bands or flaps may directly secure the body of a lamp to the upper surface of the cap establishing both a mechanical and optical interface. The use of both headlamps and flashlights are taught.
Abstract:
A cooler includes a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls connected to the bottom wall. At least one of the sidewalls has a transparent portion. A lid is connected to the side walls such that the bottom wall, side walls, and lid cooperate to define an interior space. At least one cup holder is formed in the bottom wall and positioned within the interior space. At least one first interior wall defines a receptacle within the interior space for receiving at least one of dry goods, food, and utensils. A second interior wall defines a chamber within the interior space for receiving cold items.
Abstract:
An auto-injection device holder includes a main body having at least a front wall, a back wall and a bottom wall, and an open top. The walls define a cavity for receiving at least partially therein at least one auto-injection device. An electrical circuit is mounted to the main body to provide information to a user of the auto-injection device holder. A switch is mounted on a wall of the main body and may be pressed by a user of the holder. The electrical circuit includes a read only memory having pertinent information stored digitally therein. When the switch is activated, the information stored digitally in the read only memory is converted to an analog signal which is provided to the speaker so that the user may hear the pertinent information, such as instructions on how to use the auto-injection device held by the holder.
