  • Patent number: 6629870
    Abstract: A bubble blower having a container enclosure with an opening, one or more walls extending from the opening into the container, a moveable closure member which is biased against the wall by a biasing member such as a spring. The volume of solution, when the container is filled to the bottom of the wall, is grater than one-half of the volume of the container. A bubble wand having a handle in a different plane from the bubble forming member permits more efficient blowing of large bubbles.

  • Patent number: 6220479
    Abstract: A confectionery dispensing device that dispenses gum balls or other confectioneries at a point remote from the user's hand with a popping sound and action. Confectioneries are stored in a container with a spring, gravity, or other biasing means which delivers a plurality of confectioneries to a conduit serially. A plunger ejects the confectioneries one at a time through the conduit so that the confectionery gently pops out of the device. A face or other figure can be placed around the ejecting end of the flexible finger tube, which face can remain permanently open, or open in a door or jaw-like manner upon ejection of the confectionery.

  • Patent number: 5678359
    Abstract: A sloped gutter assembly provides for the controlled discharge of runoff water from a structure roof. The gutter assembly includes a first elongated gutter section having a bottom and upstanding side walls that collectively define a U-shaped cross-section. The first gutter section is characterized by an upstream end and a downstream end, wherein the side walls are tapered progressively from the upstream end to the downstream end. This taper defines a cross-section of progressively reduced dimension. A plurality of mounting brackets are spaced apart and integrally attached to one of the upstanding sidewalls, and attach the first elongated gutter section to the structure. Finally, the gutter assembly includes a screen that is hingedly attached along one side to the upstanding side wall disposed adjacent the structure. The screen is further disposed to overlie the opposing gutter side wall, and therefore the gutter channel.

  • Patent number: 5599431
    Abstract: An electroplating solution barrier device with a rubber solution barrier having a seam, the solution barrier being removably inserted in a stabilizer with an opening and a channel. The solution barrier seam is aligned with the stabilizer opening. Guide pins traverse the channel and solution barrier. The stabilizer, solution barrier and guide pin combination is removable attached to a conventional reel-to-reel electroplating container to provide economic and efficient retention of solution in reel-to-reel electroplating processes.
