  • Patent number: 11078003
    Abstract: An apparatus to conceal the contents of a container, having first and second containers. The first container has an internal cavity accessible through a first container opening and is configured to hold a first liquid, the first container having a first container coupling element. The second container has an internal cavity, the second container internal cavity configured to hold a second liquid through a second container opening, wherein at least a portion of the second container is receivable through the first container opening into the first container internal cavity in the first container. The second container has a second container coupling element. The first container coupling element of the first container is engageable with the second container coupling element of the second container to selectively couple the second container to the first container. Coupling the second container to the first container conceals the first container opening.

  • Publication number: 20200022471
    Abstract: There is a flask assembly comprising a container body having a void therein for containing a fluid. A canopy is removably coupled to a top portion of the container body. A handle cap is removably coupled to a bottom portion of the container body, through which the void is accessible. A channel is disposed along a length of the container body. A body runner is disposed substantially around a diameter of the container body between the canopy and the handle cap, and slidably coupled to the channel. A plurality of stretchers are hingedly coupled to the body runner and extending outwardly therefrom. A plurality of ribs are coupled to the stretchers at an end opposite the runner and extending outwardly therefrom and coupled to the canopy such that when the stretchers are in a deployed mode the canopy is held open by the ribs.

  • Patent number: 10441389
    Abstract: An apparatus and system is disclosed for dental modeling. The apparatus includes a first tray positioned opposite a second tray and a dearticulating hinge coupling the first tray to the second tray. The dearticulating hinge includes a first hinging element coupled to one of the first tray and the second tray and a second hinging element coupled to the other of the first tray and the second tray. At least one of the first hinging element and the second hinging element includes a disengaging element configured to engage a spur to uncouple the first hinging element from the second hinging element upon extending the first tray and the second tray beyond a predefined angle relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 6276022
    Abstract: A backscrubber assembly adapted to hold a washing element with a cord. The backscrubber assembly comprises a handle, and a bowl permanently attached to the handle, the bowl being sized and shaped to cradle the removable washing element. The backscrubber uses the cord to attach and detach the washing element. When attached, the cord holds the washing element firmly in the bowl. When the cord is detached, the washing element is separate and free from the backscrubber assembly. In one embodiment, the backscrubber assembly has a slit in the bowl. The slit has a first pressure point and a second pressure point. The first pressure point and the second pressure point are directed towards each other so that when the cord of the washing element in placed in the slit, the first and second pressure points squeeze the cord between them, thus securing the cord by friction.
