The present invention also provides that the disposable beverage container may be manufactured from microwave safe material for those beverages that may require heating.

Abstract: An arrow with retractable blades having an arrow shaft with a cylindrical extension extending from a forward end, an arrow tip having a main body with an open rear end, an arrow shaft recess and a cylinder recess sized to receive the cylindrical extension. The main body includes a plurality of longitudinal blade slots with a blade pivotally affixed within each blade slot, with each blade jointly pivotable between a closed position and a deployed position, with a spring within the arrow shaft recess biasing the forward end of said arrow shaft normally rearward. Spaced circumferential ridges on the cylindrical extension engage mating teeth on each blade such that forward motion of the cylindrical extension within the cylinder recess pivots the blades into the deployed position and rearward motion of the cylindrical extension pivots the blades into the closed position, with a threaded cap over the open rear end of the main body maintaining the forward end of the arrow shaft within the arrow shaft recess.

Abstract: A portable lift chair has a lightweight frame with a pair of cross members extending from opposing sides thereof from front to back in a substantially X-shaped configuration, with the cross members pivotally secured to one another and to the front portion of the frame by a pivoting linkage, a seat base, a pivotable bracket connecting the front portion of the seat base to the frame, a weight adjustable pressurized cylinder providing an upward bias to the rear portion of the seat base, a removable back rest, and a guide track with an actuator for moving the weight adjustment bracket from one anchor point to another as desired to achieve a predetermined pressure for the seat.

Abstract: A vertical column coupling providing a means for creating entire concrete forms for constructing the ceiling and floors of multistory buildings utilizing a plurality of pipe columns and supported form slabs that are erected to a desired height and in horizontal alignment. Additionally the present invention provides for the ability to pour concrete in one continuous pour from the top and easy disassembly and removal of the device after said poured concrete has dried.

Abstract: A dentifrice dispensing toothbrush for applying a predetermined measured amount of liquid dentifrice from a reservoir of liquid dentifrice into the toothbrush bristles by means of an in integral pump. Liquid dentifrice may be refilled using the handle portion of the toothbrush.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in the dairy industry to affect the time in preparing a dairy cow for milking and the transference of mastitis in dairy cows with the method the present invention provides: retrieving a quantity of the disposable single fold towels/wipes of the present invention before teat cleaning; extracting a towel/wipe from the quantity and having the maximum surface area of the towel/wipe upon extraction available for use without further manipulation; wiping the udder teats until dry and disposing of the used disposable single fold towel of the present invention. The apparatus of the present invention is a Nonwoven Airlaid or Nonwoven DRC (Double Recreped Cellulose) or 2-6 ply Scrim single fold, interfold towel with a basis weight between 40 GSM (grams per square meter) and 80 GSM, consisting of both virgin pulp (longer fibers) and also recycled pulp (broken or shorter fibers), in the dairy industry.

Abstract: A segregation disk and method of separately storing items in a collapsible, tubular container uses segregation disks for segregating the collapsible container into multiple chambers of user-selectable size. The segregation disks are generally planar disks having a diameter slightly greater than the interior diameter of the container, and formed of a flexible material that have a plurality of radial slits extending inwardly from their periphery to form a plurality of flexible wedges. At the terminus of each radial slit is a tear break, generally a circular hole. An integral pull tab extends from a peripheral region of one of the flexible wedges to facilitate removal.

Abstract: An eddy current magnetic braking system that is based on drag created when a conductor moves through a stationary magnetic field. As the magnetic field increases the drag value also increases. The invention provides a magnetic braking system for use on zip line/cable rides and trolleys. Alternate designs of the present invention include a magnetic braking system having a trolley that moves on a zip line/cable to a brake block which is connected to a pulley cable, as the trolley pushes the brake block, the pulley moves the conductor into a magnetic field creating an eddy current brake that slows the trolley to a stop.

Abstract: A trolley magnetic braking system having a brake block assembly engagable by a trolley, a substantially stationary conductor that is pitch adjustable and a carrier having magnetic members that are driven along the conductive member for braking a trolley. Providing a pitch adjustable conductor allows for modification of how much of the conductor interfaces with the magnets and therein varying the amount of eddy current applied in the braking apparatus.

Abstract: Improved pressing machines for pants, in reference to FIG. 1B an upper portion pressing machine for pants. The framework (11) has a contour shape of the upper portion of a pair of pants, making it easier to drape the upper portion of the pants over the machine for pressing. In reference to FIG. 2B a pressing machine for pressing the inseams and out seams on the legs of a pair of pants. The pressing framework (42) is wider at the rear side and narrower at the opposite end, allowing relatively small and large pants to be pressed. In reference to FIG. 3C the pressing machine is to be used on creased pants. The framework plate (73) has an indention (74). The seams of a pair of pants are aligned with the indention, when the plate (73) is brought down, it will not touch the seams. The pants are left with no impressions or shiny marks. All three pressing machines have steam and vacuum valve connections and are manually operated, by stepping on the foot pedals.
