  • Patent number: 5111970
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser operable between opened and closed positions is adapted for attachment to a flexible bag that contains a liquid, particulate matter or other fluid material, where an opening is provided through a wall of the bag into an interior of the dispenser. The dispenser is initially closed to fluid flow, for the purpose of storage and shipping, by a diaphragm that is cut the first time the dispenser is operated to its opened position. A specially designed diaphragm cutting track and cooperative knife shape cause a cut diaphragm flap to be pushed out of the fluid flow path through the dispenser.

  • Patent number: 4825812
    Abstract: A device used to pacify horses contained in an enclosed area which, out of boredom, chew on anything within reach. The device preferably consists of a series of elastomer rubber pieces that may rotate on a shaft. Horses are enticed to bite or chew the rubber pieces in the device through scent and their natural curiosity. When a horse plays with the device by chewing or biting, the rubber pieces rotate. The rotation of the rubber pieces plus the associated noise created by movement of the shaft in a supporting slot entertains or amuses the horse, serving as a pacifier to relieve horse boredom and reduce the penchant of horses to chew other objects.
