  • Publication number: 20220087484
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sanitization dispenser having a base container and a cover member adjoined thereto. Within the cover member a pump assembly is arranged to displace a liquid and/or sanitizer from the reservoir, through the pump assembly, into the cavity and out an orifice of a spray tip. The pump assembly further includes a positive transfer pump having a biasing member, and a transfer tube. After the user depresses the button member to a depressed position, the biasing member returns the button member to a resting position. In some embodiments, sanitization dispenser includes the at least one button protrusion extending outward from the perimeter edge of the button member and at least one guide slot extending into the cover member. The at least one button protrusion limits the rotation of the button member within the cover member and allows for easy operation by the user when depressing the button member.

  • Patent number: 10888186
    Abstract: Reusable chopsticks that are foldable into a compact configuration for storage and easily transportable in a storage case. The chopsticks each comprise a rigid external structure and at least one flexible internal member that is foldable to a compact configuration for storage. In a folded configuration, the reusable chopsticks have a significantly reduced length of approximately one-half to one-fourth of their extended length when in use. The external structure of the chopstick is preferably formed of multiple rigid segments connected by the flexible internal member(s) in the extended configuration during use as chopsticks. A storage case is provided to store the chopsticks in the folded configuration in a compact form.

The storage case has a lid and a base defining an internal cavity that includes a straw storing area and a cleaning element storing area. The reusable drinking straw includes a flexible tube having a passageway, a proximal end, and a distal end. The reusable drinking straw is configured to move from a folded configuration to an extended configuration based on an elasticity of the flexible tube. The cleaning element includes a brush and being disposable within the cleaning element storing area and adapted to clean the passageway of the flexible tube.
