  • Patent number: 6173449
    Abstract: A one-piece women's sunbathing, beach and swim suit in the form of a narrow band of material which is arranged to be worn such that it loops the wearer's trunk in the longitudinal direction partially or completely. The narrow band of material is divided over a part of its length into two longitudinal segments. When worn, the narrow band of material passes between the wearer's legs and over at least a portion of the wearer's belly. The two longitudinal segments extend over the wearer's shoulders and may form a loop, at a first end of the narrow band of material, which loops around a back side of the wearer's neck or may join the narrow band of material which extends over the wearer's back side from between her legs. In the case of a neck loop, the narrow band of material has a detachable adhesive disposed at a second end thereof. Otherwise, the narrow band of material may have first and second ends which are arranged to be connected together by a catch.

  • Patent number: 4621649
    Abstract: The cigarette packet has an electric lighter for the cigarettes contained in the packet. The lighter is arranged at the closed end of the packet, which is positioned opposite the end from where the cigarettes are pulled out of the packet, and comprises an electric battery as well as two electrically conductive contacts which are connected to the +pole and the -pole of the battery respectively. Each of the cigarettes is provided at one end with a lighting part which can be brought into contact with the contacts and, as a result of the current which is then supplied by the battery, can be heated to a temperature which suffices to light the cigarette in question. So as to light the cigarettes when pulling them out of the packet, they are arranged in the packet in such a way that the ends provided with the lighting part face the closed end of the packet.
