Patent number: 8534626Abstract: A dual-configuration hanger for hanging an article from either the handle of a carrier device such as a shopping cart or a stroller, or from a horizontal table surface such as a public diaper-changing table, and a method of using the hanger. A pivot-and-locking assembly joins the proximate ends pair of hook-like curved arms each also having a distal end. The arms pivot between a locked-closed configuration in which the distal ends are in contact with or in close proximity to each other so that the arms define essentially a closed loop; and an open configuration in which the distal ends are spaced from each other to define an opening in between the distal ends, and the curved arms define a pair of opposed hooks.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2011Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Brica, Inc.Inventor: Lawrence O.

Patent number: 8087595Abstract: A combination rinse pitcher, particularly for rinsing shampoo from the head of a child during “bath time.” A main container body is made of relatively rigid material, and has a bottom and a plurality of main body sidewalls. A lip element is attached to the main container body and defines a rim of the rinse pitcher. The lip element is made of a relatively soft material which is sufficiently flexible such that at least a first portion of the rim can conform to the shape of the child's forehead. The first portion of the rim can be pressed against the child's forehead forming a seal to prevent poured water from flowing down the forehead of the child. A second one of the lip element sidewalls has apertures through which water can be poured to provide a shower-like flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: BRICA, Inc.Inventor: Lawrence O.
