Abstract: The inventive disclosures described herein pertain to an improved tamper-resistant/tamper-evident (TE) seal for containers of consumer-product-containment vessels (such as, for example, prescription bottles, condiment bottles, etc.) that enables a user to better grip and/or exert force/leverage to more-easily and reliably open such containers. Specifically, it features an improved seal-removal assembly that provides a collapsible finger-receiving aperture that allows a user to insert at least one user finger (or an elongated tool, such as a writing utensil), and exert upward force to breach the container seal.

Abstract: The inventive disclosures described herein pertain to an improved tamper-resistant/tamper-evident (TE) seal for containers of consumer/commercial product-containment vessels (such as, for example, prescription bottles, condiment bottles, etc.) that enables a user, and in particular older persons, to better grip and/or exert leverage to more-easily and reliably open such containers. In one embodiment of the improved TE seal, a typical prior-art seal configuration that features an inner seal with a small overlapping flexible pull-tab layer is improved by affixing the pull-tab to another substantially rigid upper layer such that a user can insert the pull-tab member between two of the user's fingers wherein the two user fingers are also disposed between the inner seal and the substantially rigid upper layer such that a user can more easily exert leverage/force to open the container that employs the tamper-resistant seal. This configuration is generally referred to as a “T-tab” configuration.

Abstract: A means of detachably coupling an adapter about the substantially male portion of a lamp base, and between a lamp body and a lamp socket body is set forth. The adapter is disc-like with a hole through which the male portion of a lamp base such as, but not limited to an Edison, GU24, or G24d type lamp base, is inserted into a related socket body. The hole in the adapter member is predetermined to be substantially congruent with the outer surface of the substantially male portion of the lamp base at a point adjacent to its junction with the lamp body. This allows the adapter member to substantially contact the outer surface of the substantially male portion of the lamp base while also being sandwiched between the top surface of the lamp body and the bottom surface of the socket body when the substantially male portion of the lamp base is fully inserted into the socket body. One of several modifications shows various reflectors being attached to the adapter.
