Abstract: A kit to facilitate self-placement of an incontinence prevention device within the urethra includes a deployment base member, a deployment tube, a deployment pusher along with the incontinence prevention device in a sterile pack. The base member includes a rigid shaft of a predetermined length having a finger grip member at one end and a hook member at its opposite end. The shaft of the base member is adapted to fit through the lumen of the deployment tube with the hook projecting out from a proximal end of the deployment tube and with the hook engaging a retention loop on the incontinence prevention device when in its sterile package. Upon removal of the kit components, the deployment tube is slid off the deployment base member and, in doing so, the incontinence prevention device becomes loaded into the deployment tube. The pusher is then used to urge the incontinence prevention device from the deployment tube into the urethra.

Abstract: A device for releasing a volatile substance into an environment in a controlled/metered manner. A reservoir made of a substance-absorbent material that is impregnated with a volatile substance in its liquid phase is located in a cavity open at the front surface of a container body made of a material non-permeable to the substance. A wood or wood-type panel permeable to the substance covers the cavity. A clip may be fixed to the back surface of the container body so that the device may be secured to a mounting surface. The device may be packaged with skin pack film such that a vapor barrier is formed, preserving/storing the substance until such time as opened/activated by the consumer. When activated, a volatilization mechanism is initiated wherein the panel absorbs the substance from the reservoir, the substance is introduced to ambient air, volatilized, released and, finally, dispersed throughout an environment.

Abstract: A desktop book binding device for binding a stack of material such as paper along a stack edge using a cold set aqueous adhesive. The desktop book binding device is an office system having an adhesive storing compartment fluidly connected to a disposable, non-refillable adhesive cartridge with an applicator belt therein. The applicator belt applies adhesive to the plurality of edges when a carriage drives the cartridge along the sheets of paper.

Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing paint or other liquids having a rotational valve actuable between a dispensing position and a suction position and a piston and cylinder assembly in flow coupling relation to the valve, and having a base plate for rotationally positioning the piston and cylinder assembly between the dispensing position and the suction position, including an inclined plane for imparting a predetermined suction movement of the piston during the rotational positioning.
