  • Publication number: 20060044812
    Abstract: An illumination device that includes at least two concentrically mounted cylinders Mounted within the narrower cylinder is at least one light source. The cylinders are mounted such that at least one of the cylinders may be selectively rotated, by a user, about the common axis of concentricity relative to the other cylinder. Each of the cylinders further includes sections which extend along the long axis thereof, at least one of which is completely opaque and at least one of which is either semi-translucent, completely translucent, or entirely transparent. The sections of various opacities are sufficiently and appropriately sized such that, by corresponding alignments thereof, by the selective relative rotation of the cylinders, the light source within the nested cylinders may alternatively provide illumination, or be effectively covered without requiring the active turning on or off of the light source.

  • Publication number: 20040198176
    Abstract: An apparatus for assisting a two-breasted wearer of a nursing brassiere in determining which breast was most recently used for nursing or which breast should next be used for nursing is disclosed. Some embodiments include a flexible element attached to the brassiere at a first end and coupled at a second end to either of two portions of the brassiere, with the coupled portion reminding the woman to use a particular breast. In other embodiments, attachment of the flexible element to a portion can restrict access to the non-preferred breast. In other embodiments, an indicator attached to the brassiere can be placed in at least two states, each indicating a preference for a particular breast. In other embodiments, an alternating release switch on the brassiere automatically releases a coupling element of a breast cup associated with a preferred breast.

  • Publication number: 20030159598
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for washing or rinsing food or nonfood items or objects powered by a water source, such as a kitchen faucet or other continuously-running or intermittent source. A pot-shaped chamber at the center of the device, in combination with a smaller pot-shaped chamber, frontwardly and upwardly mounted to said pot shaped chamber at the center, form the vessel for holding water and the items to be washed. This smaller chamber is counterbalanced by a weighted handle to the rear of the vessel. The vessel is, in turn, mounted on a stand that allows it to pivot about its center of gravity. Water from the water source enters the vessel and washes the items inside. When sufficient water has flowed into the smaller chamber of the vessel to place more weight to the front of the center of gravity than the handle provides behind it, the vessel tips forward, spilling out the water that had been inside it.
