  • Patent number: 5733035
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device that is a combined night-light and table. The night-light table includes legs, a base, a top, and at least one light source located within the top. The top also includes a portion that is fabricated from a transluscent material for enabling the light from the light source to glow from the transluscent material. The top is secured to the base by way of a hinge so the top may be closed or opened. The night-light table lessens the danger of traveling near the table whenever dark and reduces the insecurity someone near the table might feel if otherwise placed in total darkness. The table provides support like conventional tables and may include lockable storage compartments. The night-light table may combine with a chair or stool for the comfort and convenience of users.

  • Patent number: 5065894
    Abstract: A dispenser for delivering an uncovered first aid bandage into a readily accessible outlet chute from a strip of bandage packages where each bandage is covered by a layer of paper on each side thereof prior to being dispensed. The dispenser has a spool for holding a supply roll of bandage packages, and two opposed press rollers receive and advance the strip therebetween. Two stripping rollers remove a cover strip of paper from each side of the package and deliver the strips to waste disposal and free the bandage. A ratchet on one of the press rollers is driven by a manually operated lever to rotate that roller, and a motion transmitting driving connection causes both press rollers to be turned equally in opposite directions.
