  • Patent number: 7739830
    Abstract: A vacuum-creating fly swatter. A blade is flat and a handle is hand-held, slender, elongated, and extends from the blade. The blade has a plurality of through bores that are diamond-shaped and extend in a specific configuration forming a vacuum when the blade is swatted, thereby sucking in a fly. The plurality of through bores include one central through bore and four peripheral through bores. The four peripheral through bores, each of which is 1 cm high and ½ cm wide, are positioned substantially at corners of a rectangle. Two peripheral through bores are ½? from a forward edge of the blade, are 2¾? apart from each other, and are ?? from a pair of side edges of the blade, respectively. The other two peripheral through bores are 2½? back from the two peripheral through bores, are 2¾? apart from each other, and are ½? from the pair of side edges, respectively. The one central through bore is central to the four peripheral through bores, is 1½ cm high, and is 1 cm wide.

  • Patent number: 7552825
    Abstract: A tote bag for organizing, securing and safely transporting laundry supplies which comprises a box-shaped housing having a bottom wall, a pair of side walls, a rear wall and a lower front wall. A flap can be folded over to cover a top and an upper front portion area of the box-shaped housing. A plurality of box-shaped laundry supply containers are sized and proportioned so that they can fit within the box-shaped housing in a side-by-side relationship to utilize almost the entire confines of the box-shaped housing without any appreciable left over wasted space therein. A mechanism is for securing all of the box-shaped laundry supply containers snugly within the box-shaped housing. When the flap is opened and the securing mechanism is removed therefrom all of the box-shaped laundry supply containers can be easily taken out of the box-shaped housing.
