  • Patent number: 5649436
    Abstract: A security device is described that is simple and reliable. It includes a base member which is adhesively attached to the surface of a large object such as a motor vehicle. A protective knife-edged boss surrounds and protects the adhesive to defeat attempts to pry the base member off the vehicle. Housed within the base member is a steel tube, and a locking cable extends through the tube to secure personal property. A cavity is provided for easy installation of the tube within the base member, and a flange is attached to the tube for preventing extraction of the tube from the base member, as well as defeating removal of the base member from the vehicle. A three-way system of adhesion is employed which provides superior results.

  • Patent number: 5313316
    Abstract: A mirror for use in a steamy environment such as a shower stall. The mirror has a recess for holding a cylindrical can of shaving cream while exposing half of the can for easy grasping. Either a magnet or straps may be used to hold the can in the recess. A water channel has a push button valve for controlling water flow. The stream of flowing water equalizes the temperature of the mirror with the surrounding environment. A fitting at the bottom of the mirror may be turned in order to direct a stream of water in any suitable direction to wash away shaving debris from a razor. The water supply for the mirror may be obtained from an existing shower head supply pipe and may be diverted exclusively to the mirror, so that when the mirror is in use, water flows only when requested by the user.
