  • Patent number: 6515194
    Abstract: A diaper includes a diaper substrate having a peripheral edge and a centrally-located region where fluid from a user will make initial contact therewith, a fluid transport layer disposed with the diaper substrate and having a peripheral edge and a centrally-located portion disposed at the centrally-located region of the diaper substrate, and a wetness indicator on the peripheral edge of the transport layer and exposed and extending along at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the diaper substrate. The transport layer made of a fluid-permeable chromatographic medium draws fluid via capillary action from its centrally-located portion at the centrally-located region of the diaper substrate toward its peripheral edge and into contact with the wetness indicator. The wetness indicator is a material capable of eliciting a visible response to the presence of fluid.

  • Patent number: 5655777
    Abstract: A weighted radially-armed flexible and spinnable throw game device includes a central core defining an inner pocket filled with a centrally-located inner mass of weighted material and a plurality of spaced apart arms extending radially outward from the central core. The arms may number three, four, five or any other suitable number and each has a pair of opposite outer and inner end portions. The inner end portion is integral with the central core. The outer end portion of each arm defines an outer pocket filled with a peripherally-located outer mass of weighted material. Thus, the outer masses of weighted material in the outer pockets of the elongated arms being circumferentially spaced from one another and radially spaced from the inner mass of weighted material in the inner pocket of the central core together with the inner mass of weighted material creates a generally planar stable balanced spinning device when the throwing object is launched or thrown into flight.

  • Patent number: 5450991
    Abstract: A combination storage belt and ski carrier accessory includes a belt mounting a pair of releasably and reversably attachable flexible members at each of a pair of opposite ends of the belt and a storage bag at an intermediate location thereon between the opposite ends of the belt. The belt is adjustable to convert it between a contracted condition and an expanded condition. In the contracted condition, the adjustable belt is adapted to be worn about a user's waist with the flexible members forming closed loops positioned on the same side of the belt as the storage bag. In the expanded condition, the belt is adapted to be worn across the front of the user's torso and over one shoulder with the flexible members forming closed loops positioned on the opposite side of the belt from the storage bag to hold and carry skis in a generally upright orientation along the user's back. The storage bag is accessible both when the belt is worn around waist and when worn across the torso to carry skis.
