Abstract: A holder for a razor dispenser cartridge for use in a shower, having an adjustable hook for hanging on a shower head and suction cups for adhering to a wall. Alternate embodiments combine provisions for holding a single razor, a can of shaving cream, and a drawer for temporarily storing used razors.
Abstract: An adjustable trailer hitch assembly which provides rapid and easy coupling by moving the ball to the tongue, rather than by moving the tongue to the ball. Adjustment is provided in each of three axes. Simultaneous movement in the lateral and vertical directions is provided, which after ball coupling, may be moved to a central locked and fixed position for towing. One embodiment provides selectable locked and fixed vertical positions.
Abstract: A mold battery with provisions for separating one mold member from another by both rotating away and also translating away. A mold member comprises two wheels resting on two rails and a lower roller. While the mold member is rotated to an open angle stopped by the lower roller contacting a stop surface, yet the mold member can also be translated away by rolling along the rails. When joining mold members, a freedom of movement is provided which improves the seal. One embodiment comprises parallel guidance by wheels fixed on a common axle and turning in unison. One embodiment substitutes a fixed pin for the lower roller.
Abstract: An improved charcoal grill having a cool base assembly for preventing burns and damage to a table top, comprising a casing with a refractory mass, below which is an upper free air space established by insulators, and a lower free air space created by a base plate having feet or openings. One version comprises a convex shaped grill part. Another version comprises an air diffuser to speed charcoal briquet ignition.
Abstract: A manual dispenser of material of indeterminate length, which is engaged on a rotating roller assembly, such that when the end of the material is pulled, the roller rotates with the material until reaching a stop, whereafter by slipping, additional material is advanced a length suitable to the user. The material is then forced to sever against a cutter, creating a useful material segment, and also releasing the roller assembly to rotate backwards, powered by a biasing spring. Upon return, the roller holds the remnant end of the material extended, readily accessible for grasping. An alternate embodiment comprises a movable cutter.
Abstract: A manual dispenser of material of indeterminate length, which is yieldably retained on a movable feeder, such that when the end of the material is pulled, the feeder moves until it reaches a stop, whereupon additional material is yielded from the feeder to a length suitable to the user. The material is then forced to sever against a cutter, creating a useful material segment, and also releasing the feeder to return to its initial position, powered by a biasing spring. Upon return, the feeder holds the remnant end of the material extended, readily accessible for grasping. An alternate embodiment comprises a movable cutter.
