Abstract: A tool includes a resilient relatively soft tool body defining a closed top surface and a surrounding side surface extending downwardly therefrom. The tool further includes a bottom surface which defines an upwardly extending generally cylindrical recess therein. The recess includes interior sidewalls which in their preferred form support a plurality of gripping ridges or edges. The recess is sized and shaped to receive a portion of a bottle cap thereby allowing the user to grip the tool and squeeze the tool body to force its recess surfaces against the bottle cap in a gripping engagement and thereafter applying a torque or twist to the tool allowing the bottle cap to be easily removed. In its preferred fabrication, the tool further includes a plurality of radially extending relief slots formed in the recess wall to facilitate better gripping action and to allow the recess wall to stretch and expand thereby accommodating different bottle cap sizes.

Abstract: A water slide for connection to a water supply is provided. The inflatable structure may include a sliding surface having a first end and an opposing second end, an inflatable wedge-shaped ramp coupled to the first end of the sliding surface, where the ramp includes a top surface, and a landing portion coupled to the second end of the sliding surface. A water emitting device is coupled to the sliding surface, where the water emitting device is adapted to project water onto the ramp to lubricate the top surface while a user slides thereon.

Abstract: A line drawing apparatus includes a generally rectangular housing having a closed back, extending sides and a front panel. The front panel defines a screen aperture which is covered by a display screen. The inner surface of the display screen is coated with a phosphorescent material. A stylus is movably supported within the housing and includes an upwardly directed light source. As the stylus is moved, a lighted trace is produced on the display screen.

Abstract: An eye makeup fallout protector for use in shielding the user's face beneath the eye during the application of eye makeup includes a planar flexible shield member and supporting handle. The shield member is curved to conform generally to the user's lower eyelid. The handle is removable to facilitate cleaning and replacement of the shield member.

Abstract: An image-stamping amusement article includes a resilient elastic band having an outer surface which supports a plurality of raised stamps. Each stamp defines a printing surface. The amusement article further includes apparatus for covering the printing surface of one or more of the stamps with a quantity of ink or other printing liquid. The inked stamp is then pressed against a to-be-printed medium such as paper or the like to create a printed image. Embodiments are shown in which a continuous loop band is provided and alternate embodiments which are formed into a continuous loop from an elongated band material in which opposed ends are secured using snap fit attachments.
