Abstract: A medication recordkeeping device comprised of a label or sheet with a plurality of characters identifying at least one subject upon which a friably removable mask covering obscures each of the characters. The label or sheet is adapted to be fixedly applied to a medication containing vessel wherein each time an individual unit of medication is consumed, the friable removable mask is removed from a character in order that the underlying subject will be exposed so that a visual recored will be kept of the medication consumed. The characters may be dates, numerals or dosage amounts corresponding to a patient's needs or the particular requirements of a medication.
Abstract: Each web-forming unit is configured to snap into an identical adjacent unit so that a plurality thereof form a web which flexes at the joints. Each unit has an article-supporting arm thereon upon which a long, narrow item may be hung and displayed. The web is mounted on rotatable drums so that the web may be advanced around the drums to successively bring forward articles supported on the arms.
Abstract: A self-righting roadway marker support for a flexible boundary or roadway marker has a hollow anchor sleeve sunk into a supporting surface, a mounting collar secured to said anchor sleeve, a pivot strut extending through and upward from the collar, a compressible coil spring to resiliently urge the strut into contact with the collar, and a spring stop which selectively limits the extent to which the coil spring may be compressed. An oblong, radiused or chamfered aperture formed in the collar cooperates with a spring-mounting eyebolt to prevent the strut from rotating when deflected. A tool is also disclosed for installing the marker support. The force required to deflect the support assembly is set to be less than the force that would destroy or permanently set or deform the boundary marker.

Abstract: A liquid storage and delivery system for use with protective masks having hand-operable bulb siphon pumps in line with conduits extending from a canteen assembly to the drinking mouthpiece of the protective mask. The system includes structure to allow a user to drink directly from a central storage/dispensing reservoir by connecting the conduits directly thereto, and also allows the canteen assembly to be refilled from the reservoir while maintaining the system's protective integrity.
Abstract: An improved multi-level vehicle parking facility including a device for emitting an audible sound, preferably a well known song, on each parking level, with a visual display specifically identifying the audible sound emitted on each such level. Each level has a different audible sound emitted thereon and is identified on the corresponding visual display to facilitate recall of that level to an individual parking a vehicle thereon. In a preferred embodiment, the song is that of a city or other geographical area and the sign identifies the city or area.
Abstract: An apparatus and system for mounting articles to a supporting surface by a mounting bracket, having engaging fingers formed thereon to register with an engage corresponding sockets extend into the article to be mounted. A system is also disclosed with a mounting bracket having parallel arms away from the supporting surface, said arms corresponding to sockets formed upon the article to be mounted.
Abstract: A stud removing tool for removing a threaded stud from an associated stud mounting member having an elongated sleeve member with an internally threaded gripping end and an internally tapered stud locking end. A pilot member having a closed drive end, and an internally threaded bore end is provided. The drive end has an external angle of taper less than the internal angle of taper of the sleeve member, in which the angle of taper increases as it is directed toward the internally threaded bore end. The bore end of the pilot member has multiple finger splits directed from the open end to the closed end. When the tool is in use, the pilot is co-axially disposed in the sleeve member, with the bore end of the pilot threaded onto the end of a stud. A plug member is provided, having a driving end and an externally threaded mating end adapted to engage the internally threaded gripping end of the sleeve member and to axially abut the closed end of the pilot member.
Abstract: A repositionable thermal barrier for truck trailers has a hanger bar extending across the width of the trailer with a flexible strip-type or blanket-type thermal insulator supported by the hanger bar. A trolley-and-hinge assembly attached to one end of the hanger bar is repositionable along a trolley rail attached to one interior wall of the trailer, and a releasable latch assembly, attached to the remaining end of the hanger bar, is selectively latchable to a latch rail attached to the opposite interior wall of the trailer. A trolley lock engages and disengages responsive to the pivotal movement of the hanger bar to allow the tolley to move along the trolley rail.
Abstract: An improved method of treating acne vulgaris comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of carbamide peroxide alone or in combination with one or more of a topical antibiotic, nicotinic acid or nicotinamide and compositions useful in said method.
Abstract: A shelf assembly comprising a plurality of parallel spaced platform members and a plurality of spaced frame members fixedly connected to the platform members so as to define a grid-like shelf, each of the frame members extending normal to the platform members and each having distal ends extending beyond the outer most platform members. A pair of allochirally configurated shelf end support brackets is provided, each end bracket having means for freely supporting the distal ends of the frame members so as to support the shelf in a generally horizontal plane when the support brackets are secured to an associated wall.
Abstract: A method and composition for preventing and treating irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose wherein a tricyclic anti-depressant topically applied to the nose is effective prophylactically to prevent irritation and a combination of the tricyclic anti-depressant with a vasoconstrictor is effective to prevent and to alleviate irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose.
