Abstract: The present invention provides for a lighted shaving apparatus and more specifically, to a shaving apparatus with a pivotally attached lighting device and a blade cartridge with at least two blades and the light illuminates through a space between the two blades and forms a shaving guide.

Abstract: A utensil dispenser that selectively dispenses a lowermost utensil from a stack of utensils. A main housing retains plural dispensing chambers. A selectively operable dispensing mechanism has a movable support structure, an actuated support structure, and an actuation structure retained by a manual actuator. First and second arms form the movable support structure with distal portions that are in proximity to support the lowermost utensil when in a first condition and that are separated when in a second condition. A shelf member retained by the actuator forms the actuated support structure to be selectively interposed between the lowermost and second lowermost utensil. An actuation structure, such as opposed ramp surfaces, is retained by the actuator to separate the first and second arms on actuation of the actuator. When the actuator is actuated, the stack of utensils, except for the lowermost utensil, is supported so that the lowermost utensil is dispensed.

Abstract: A nozzle is usable to inflate a film having two sides that form a common channel and inflatable channels. The inflatable channels are in fluid communication with the common channel. The nozzle includes a proximal end configured to separate the two sides of the film to open the common channel as the film moves in a longitudinal direction. The nozzle includes a distal end configured to permit the two sides of the film to converge as the film moves in the longitudinal direction. The nozzle includes a slot configured to direct gas transversely into the common channel to inflate the inflatable channels as the film moves in the longitudinal direction.
