Abstract: A seal puncture fitting mounted to the distal end of a spout of a liquid container including a cylindrical collar disposed about the spout in telescopic relation thereto wherein the collar is attached to the spout by a cam structure designed to allow both rotational and vertical movement of the collar in relation to the spout. A cutting blade is disposed within the collar at an upper end thereof, such that downward vertical movement of the collar causes the cutting blade to puncture a membrane seal disposed in covering, sealed relation to the spout opening. The upper portion of the collar includes a threaded outer surface for threaded engagement of a cap thereby preventing liquid from spilling between each use.
Abstract: A condom of rubbery material such as latex which includes a tubular length having a closed first end and an open second end and an integral pubic shield about the open end with the tubular length being sized to receive and snugly jacket the penis of a user and the pubic shield being adapted to overlay the pubic area of a user and including adhesive means to attach the shield in protective covering relation of the pubic area of a user about the base of the penis.
Abstract: The windshield sunshade assembly is designed to be mounted on the pivoted connector portion of the sun visor attachment of all motor vehicles so that a shade member is to be retracted or extended in order to cover the windshield from inside of vehicle to provide a sunshielding effect. The windshield sunshade assembly according to this invention includes two support units; each support unit having a bracket anchored from one end to the uppermost perimeter edge of the windshield and the roof. Adhesive means are provided at the tip of the bracket to secure the support unit in position. The opposite end of the bracket includes a pair of pincers with two grasping jaws working on a pivot bounded together by means of a spring to grip firmly onto the connector portion of the sun visor attachment of the automobile.
Abstract: In one embodiment, the personalized greeting card includes an independent, detachable, electronic memory device that stores electronic signals, a mechanism for retrieving the electronic signals from the memory device, a voice synthesizer which obtains these electronic signals and produces audible sounds representative of the personalized message, and a switch that controls the retrieving device and the voice synthesizer. Prior to incorporating the memory device in the card, an EPROM translation machine converts the personalized message obtained from the sender of the card into appropriate electronic signals and stores those representative electronic signals in the memory device. The memory device is then detached from the EPROM and mounted in the circuitry disposed in the greeting card.
Abstract: A security box or a container assembly designed to be secured to the undersurface of a table, counter, bed frame, or like structure so as to extend beneath the undersurface in a substantially out-of-sight location and specifically adapted to hold a handgun or other applicable weapon, valuables or medication in a readily accessible location for easy removal once a cover of the container is opened. To mount the container under a bed, a mounting structure is removably attached to the bed frame so as to support the container in the preferred out-of-sight location beneath the bed in a somewhat cantilevered fashion. Mounting to other surfaces, such as under a table or counter top can be achieved by securing the top of the container to the mounting surface in such a manner as to be out of the general line of sight.
