  • Patent number: 6354703
    Abstract: A combination eyeglass device is provided which includes eyeglasses having primary lenses and adapted to fit on the user's head. The eyeglass device also has auxiliary eyeglasses having secondary lenses, which approximately correspond to the dimension and shape of the primary lenses. In addition, the eyeglass device has two pairs of magnetic clamps adapted to grip the eyeglasses adjacent the periphery of the primary and the secondary lenses. The clamps are attached to the primary eyeglasses so that they correspond to the positions of the clamps attached to the auxiliary eyeglasses. The clamps may be magnetically mated with each other to securely hold the auxiliary eyeglasses on the primary eyeglasses. Each of the clamps includes a retainer in the form of a screw and/or a resilient web. A deformable plastic coating on the inside of the jaws may be used to enhance the gripping function.

  • Patent number: 5784872
    Abstract: A trash pick-up and collection apparatus includes a rotary drum assembly with a plurality of spikes to impale and pick-up the trash along a path to be cleared. A continuous chain mechanism wrapped around the drum assembly lifts, strips and carries the trash to a collection bin. The drum assembly includes a plurality of sections in the direction of the longitudinal axis to allow ease of movement in a turn. The drum is formed of elongated plates extending in the longitudinal direction and each mounts a series of spikes. The chain mechanism preferably includes a plurality of flattened chains that lift the trash from underneath and carry it to the collection bin. An idler roller positioned adjacent the collection bin forms the delivery and return run of the chains. The entire apparatus may be lifted over obstacles and moved along paved roads by wheels that are hydraulically moved to and from an operative position.

  • Patent number: 5722558
    Abstract: A container lid, adapted for use with a cold or hot drink, is provided with a condiment reservoir built into the lid. An orifice for drinking a liquid in the container is provided on one side of a planar surface forming the lid and an open top recess, forming the condiment reservoir, is provided on the other side. Closed side walls and a bottom extending down toward the container serve to form the reservoir. The condiment can be carried directly in the reservoir or in a condiment holder, such as a packet or cup, placed in the reservoir. The side walls extend at an acute angle from the planar surface to allow multiple lids to nest together prior to use. A mating groove and annular projection in the recess and on a cup, respectively, serves as a snap fit interlock system to hold the cup in place. The side walls of the recess include a semicircular wall and a diagonal wall connecting the ends to form the reservoir.
