  • Patent number: 6863178
    Abstract: An arrangement of individual condiment serving packets in an outer container is provided having an approximately cylindrical container with at least four dual-packet sheets within said container. Each dual-packet sheet has a pair of individual condiment-filled packets each having a condiment-filled portion, said packets having a weakened tear-line in an unfilled medial portion of the sheet between them for manual separation of said packets for individual use. The dual-packet sheets are arranged with their condiment-filled portions in opposed front-to-back contact with their medial portions in parallel alignment and pinched closely together or in contact so that the condiment-filled portions are arranged generally like spokes on a wheel sized so as to fit into said approximately cylindrical container and to be thereby maintained in said approximately circular arrangement by said outer approximately cylindrical container.

  • Patent number: 5699908
    Abstract: A scalpel blade removal apparatus for use with common surgical handle having a slotted tang and a disposable or changeable blade. The apparatus includes a receptacle for holding a multiple blades that have been disposed of. A cam arrangement is operated by the tang as the surgeon pushes the handle into the receptacle. The upper end of the cam rotates, disengaging the proximal end of the blade from the tang and simultaneously forming a connection between the proximal end of the blade and a shoulder that defines a catch. When the cam rotates fully to its lower most position, the blade is fully disengaged. The surgeon then removes the handle by pulling the handle along the same path used to insert the handle and blade. The catch then retains the blade so that only the handle and its tang are withdrawn.

  • Patent number: 5645090
    Abstract: A device, kit and method used in applying polish to a finger nail for obtaining a french manicure. The device can be removably engaged around a finger tip to establish a line of demarcation that approximates the curve of the tip of the finger nail. This line of demarcation allows an individual to apply a band of finger nail polish along the tip of the finger nail, while preventing the polish from contacting the portion of the finger nail away from the fingertip. The device is sufficiently flexible to be deflected from a nail-engaging position to a removing position when a force is applied against opposed sides of the device. The disclosed kit includes one or more of these devices, a container of finger nail polish and an applicator to apply the finger nail polish.
