  • Patent number: 9278572
    Abstract: A melted crayon painting system for effectively painting with melted crayon. The melted crayon painting system generally includes providing a tube having a distal end, a receiver-dispenser opening within the distal end and a lumen fluidly connected to the receiver-dispenser opening, heating the tube to a temperature of at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit, inserting the distal end of the tube into a crayon, melting a portion of the crayon with the tube, receiving a volume of melted crayon from the crayon into the lumen from the receiver-dispenser opening, removing the distal end of the tube from the crayon, and dispensing the volume of melted crayon within the lumen from the receiver-dispenser opening.

  • Patent number: 7464844
    Abstract: A stapler device and a method of stapling an article. The stapler has a striker and a spring for driving the striker to apply a staple. During the stapling cycle, the striker and spring are cocked and loaded prior to being release to apply the staple. While the stapler is in the cocked and loaded position the stapling cycle is automatically interrupted to maintain the spring and the striker in the cocked and loaded position. The stapler device may be then moved to a second location before the interruption is discontinued by an actuator. Once the stapling cycle is continued, the cocked and loaded striker and spring are released to apply a staple. The device is also selectively capable of a second mode of operation wherein the stapling cycle is not interrupted.
