  • Patent number: 9883982
    Abstract: A massage device is provided with a pouch containing a liquid medium and a massage prong for imparting massage pressure on the person's body during a massage. The pouch is configured for application to the body such that it covers an area on the body substantially larger than the massage prong. The massage prong operates and applies a force to the body through the wall of the pouch. The massage prong is permitted to move within at least a portion of the area without substantial movement of the pouch relative to the body. A lubricating layer sealed present massager can provide a relaxing and therapeutic heated or cooled massage over a large area of the body while reducing pinching and friction between the skin and the massage prong.

  • Patent number: 8732956
    Abstract: A safety mechanism for a utility knife is provided to prevent more than one retraction of the blade shield for each trigger actuation. A separable linkage extends between an actuator and a strut, and has a seat member and a deflecting member that are linked together when the actuator is not depressed and the strut is in the safety position blocking the retraction of the shield. The separable linkage is configured to transmit the pressing action of the actuator to the strut to disengage it from the bracket. The separable linkage is configured to delink as the shield retracts. If the actuator continues to be pressed in after the shield returns from being retracted, the safety mechanism prevents relinking of the seat member and the deflecting member, due to the deflecting member being deflected away from the seat member in a substantially longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 6523712
    Abstract: A lid is provided which is configured to facilitate fluid consumption from a container through an aperture in the lid without spillage. The preferred lid includes a mounting portion for gripping the upper rim of the container, a sidewall extending upwardly from the mounting portion, and a top wall having a fluid consumption aperture formed therethrough. A spout descends from the fluid consumption aperture towards the interior of the container to which the lid is mounted. The fluid contained within the container must travel through the spout before exiting the fluid consumption aperture. The geometry of the spout is generally either tubular or hollow frusta-conical. One or more steam venting apertures may be formed through the top wall.
