Abstract: An assembly for providing a visually discernible indicator and a bar code in association with goods to be sold, includes a tray having opposing side walls and a front panel containing the bar code in association with the goods; first and second clips secured to the opposing side walls, respectively, and each having a flange having an aperture therein; and an indicator panel containing the visually discernible indicator and including opposite tabs pivotally mounted within the first and second apertures so as to pivotally mount the indicator panel between a first position in covering relation to the front panel, and thereby in covering relation to the bar codes, and a second position exposing the front panel and bar codes.

Abstract: A conductive wrist band for dissipating electrostatic charges and having opposing transverse ends, includes a fabric; mechanical snap connectors coupled to the fabric ends for forming the fabric into a closed loop with an inside surface adapted to contact the body; an electrical connector coupled to the mechanical snap for providing a connection between the fabric and an electrical cable capable of connecting the conductive body strap to ground; and the fabric including a weft yarn extending between the opposing transverse ends and forming said inside surface and an opposite, outside surface; parallel rows of a substantially non-elastic, conductive yarn positioned in a sinusoidal manner on the inside surface of the weft yarn, parallel rows of a non-conductive elastic fiber positioned on the outside surface of the weft yarn in opposing relation to the conductive yarn, and a securing yarn for securing the conductive yarn and the elastic fiber to the weft yarn.

Abstract: A pair of tongs for grasping food which is otherwise difficult to pick up, such as spaghetti, other pasta products, broccoli, beans, and eggs. The tongs have a ladle bowl at the end of one stem and a spoon at the end of the other stem. The ladle bowl and spoon have perforated major surfaces for draining purposes. The ladle bowl has an imperforate lower side wall and an upper side wall in the form of a number of spaced-apart fingers which extend upward from the lower side wall. When the tongs are closed, the spoon enters into the ladle bowl below the level of the fingers, to securely retain the food between the lower portion of the ladle bowl and the spoon.

Abstract: A combination food peeler and slicer having parallel peeler and slicer blades. The peeler blade is rotatably mounted in the handle so that it can rock through a limited angular range. The slicer blade is slidably mounted for movement into and out of the handle. The locking arrangement prevents rotation of the peeler blade when the slicer blade is slid out of the handle, and orients the peeler blade so that two convex surfaces of the peeler blade are parallel to the slicer blade, to serve as a spacer during slicing. The rear end of the slicer blade has a latching arrangement for retaining most of the slicer blade within the handle when the device is used as a peeler.

Abstract: A pair of self adjusting tongs for household use, particularly for grasping food, wherein the jaws are independently rotatable within a limited angular range about corresponding pivot axes, with each jaw being spring-loaded by an arcuate spring extension of the jaw, the end of the spring extension constituting a loop which surrounds and slides along the corresponding stem of the tongs.
