Abstract: A system and method is described for marking materials in rolled form so as to overcome the problem of locating the starting point/location of said rolled material after a portion of said rolled material has been removed from the roll of said rolled material by distinguishing/pinpointing the location of every actual tear. The system and method overcomes personal frustration, wasted material and wasted time.

Abstract: A marking system on the full length of rolled material to pinpoint the location of a tear in the rolled material by either incorporating or adding an opaque portion/strip having a “telltale” marking such as a line along the full length of the rolled material such that the line will experience a visible break along the tear line when the rolled material is torn.

Abstract: A device for assisting a medical walker user in transitioning from a sitting position to a standing position as the medical walker user attempts to access the medical walker because the device incorporates a platform base which becomes stabilized by placing the weight of the medical walker user on the platform base which in turn stabilizes the medical walker via each automatic movement restrictor assembly (AMRA) attached to the platform base because each AMRA automatically engages/captures each of the medical walker's two front axles as the medical walker's two front wheels impact each of the two AMRAs additionally such that the device will automatically move from a position of engagement with the medical walker's two front axles to a position of disengagement with the medical walker's two front axles when the medical walker along with the medical walker's two front wheels leave/exit the device's AMRAs.

Abstract: A tensioning/displacement system that is actuated/activated downwards via a pedal coupled with/to a lever which, when actuated/activated upwards, not only releases/removes the tension, but also reverses the displacement and automatically causes the pedal to be reset/repositioned to the pedal's position before the pedal actuated/activated the tensioning/displacement system. The present invention is based on as well as being a derivation of our related patent U.S. Pat. No. 8,978,295 B2 which was invented by us, Robert Alan Bard and Douglas Aaron Bard.

Abstract: A walker stabilizing platform including a movement restrictor assembly for assisting a user of a walker in transitioning from a sitting position to a standing position wherein the movement restrictor assembly automatically moves from a position of engagement with the walker to a position of disengagement with the walker, and further includes means for allowing the user of the walker to move the movement restrictor assembly from the disengaged position to the engaged position without assistance.

Abstract: An apparatus to assist people and minimize back strain/sprain when people are placing items into the vehicle's trunk and when people are removing items from the vehicle's trunk. The apparatus is installed in the vehicle's trunk so that the apparatus when activated, can both lift items above the location where the lowest portion of the vehicle's trunk lid rests when the vehicle's trunk lid is closed and also rearward of the location/position where the lowest portion of the vehicle's trunk lid rests when the vehicle's trunk lid is closed. The result is an easier and more convenient location/position to remove packages/items from the vehicle's trunk or to load packages/items into the vehicle's trunk to help prevent back injuries caused by bending forward to pick up packages/items from the vehicle's trunk or to place packages/items into the vehicle's trunk.

Abstract: A self-adjusting, self-actuating and clamping apparatus employing only non-elastic material parts for vertically or approximately vertically and also downwardly securing Christmas trees or, more generically, other items configured similar to the Christmas tree trunk, to be secured vertically or approximately vertically and downwardly such that in the specific case of the Christmas tree the apparatus can accommodate various sized tree trunks as well as various peripherally/externally configured tree trunks. More specifically, when the apparatus is employed to secure a Christmas tree, or other items configured similar to the Christmas tree trunk, the stability of the Christmas tree, or other items configured similar to the Christmas tree trunk, is increased. In addition, the apparatus can be mounted on a turn-table so as to facilitate the process of decorating the Christmas tree.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing various sized drinking containers (cups, mugs, glasses etc.) thus helping to prevent the spilling of liquid drinks from various sized drinking containers onto a desk (or table) top or desk (or table) top protector surface area. The apparatus itself can be placed or even secured anywhere on the desk (or table) top or desk (or table) top protector surface area so that the drinking container can be placed for easy access. More specifically, when the apparatus is employed to secure the drinking container, the stability of the drinking container, with or without its contents, is increased as follows; the apparatus extends the distance from the center of gravity of the secured drinking container and its contents further outward to the outboard edge of the apparatus and even further when the apparatus itself is secured to the desk (or table) top.
