  • Patent number: 5507419
    Abstract: A multi-functional, environmentally-oriented one-piece container closure panel has a peripheral rib adapted to removably engage the lip of a container end. The closure panel is slidably rotatable on the lip such that an opening in the closure panel may be variably positioned in alignment with a push-in opening in the container end to control the dispensing of container contents. When removed, the one-piece container closure may be disposed of separately, allowing recycling of reusable container materials or disposal of biodegradable container materials. Because disposed of separately, the container closure may be of any suitable material appropriate for the application, while different reusable or biodegradable materials may be used for the container.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4516773
    Abstract: A swizzle stick made up of a plurality of golf tees and ball markers. The tees are connected in an end-to-end relationship with the point of one tee preferably connected to the ball support end of an adjacent tee. One or more ball markers may be attached at the ends or at locations intermediate of the tees. The ball supporting end of the tees has a flat circular surface and three similarly shaped elements projecting above the flat surface, the elements also being equally spaced about the perimeter of the surface.

  • Patent number: 3937912
    Abstract: The circuit control unit of the present invention comprises a piston-type pressure responsive member or gauge wherein one end of the piston extends beyond the gauge body and carries an actuator which is movable with the piston. A circuit control member is mounted for actuation by the actuator for controlling an external electrical circuit in response to changes in fluid pressure as detected by the pressure responsive member. Where desired, an indicator may be mounted in fixed relationship with the pressure responsive member, providing means for visibly indicating the pressure of the fluid and the position of the piston with respect to the pressure responsive member.
