Abstract: A portable kiddie pool includes a main basin including a floor and a perimeter wall defining a perimeter of the pool, the floor including a radial groove that extends towards the perimeter of the pool, a fountain basin disposed above the floor within a perimeter of the perimeter wall, the fountain basin including at least one fountain opening, and tubing that extends at a first end from the perimeter of the pool through the radial groove of the floor to a second end that operably connects to the at least one fountain opening of the fountain basin, the tubing including a fitting configured to connect to a pressurized water source such that water from the pressurized water source flows from the pressurized water source through the tubing and to the fountain opening of the fountain basin.

Abstract: A wheel assembly having rolling and swiveling capability includes a wheel bracket configured for mounting one or more wheels, a swivel bracket configured for positioning with respect to an object with respect to which the wheel assembly is used, the swivel bracket including a main body and a spindle extending from one side of the main body of the swivel bracket into a receptacle in the wheel bracket, the spindle and receptacle being tapered at different angles to minimize surface to surface engagement during swiveling, a thrust bearing between the swivel bracket and wheel bracket to transfer force between the brackets while assisting to align the brackets, a retention mechanism at the distal end portion of the spindle configured to retain the spindle in the wheel bracket and aligning the spindle with respect to the wheel bracket while permitting the wheel bracket to swivel about the spindle relative to the swivel bracket.

Abstract: A multi-chambered bottle includes first and second chambers, a metering stage, a pour spout and a cap. The metering stage includes first and second metering stage sections connectable to respective mouths of the first and second chambers. Each metering stage section comprises a nozzle having a liquid inlet orifice and a liquid outlet orifice, and a vent tube having an air inlet orifice and an air outlet orifice at opposite ends of the vent tube, the air inlet orifice to be disposed outside of the respective chamber and the air outlet orifice to be disposed inside of the respective chamber, the vent tube disposed relative to the nozzle such that a line crossing a center of the air inlet orifice and a center of the liquid outlet orifice forms an acute angle with a normal axis of the bottle.

Abstract: A stackable cleaner or product applicator is described in which a rigid applicator body has a downwardly opening compartment surrounded by a skirt and an upper compartment surrounded by an upwardly extending wall, the upper compartment containing a foam body and fluid or gel and being closed by means of a removable top wall fixed to the top periphery of the upwardly extending wall. The removable top has a tab to aid opening. The downwardly extending skirt is sized to accept the upwardly extending wall of an identical unit whereby multiple units may be stacked in a nested configuration. A cap is provided to cover the top of the uppermost cleaner in a stack. The cap has an opening adapted to engage the removable top tab and act as a lever for easy opening.

Abstract: An unobtrusive air freshener is planar in nature and resembles a parking or membership sticker. The air freshener is composed of a fragrance carrying card surrounded by a number of layers of plastic film, one of which is in an adhesive free static cling sheet adapted to adhere to a windshield or other glass surface and be removable without leaving a residue.
