Abstract: A prophylactic kit has first and second pocket parts foldably joined to each other along opposite sides of a spine and pivotable about the spine from an open position to a closed position. At least one pocket is on the front surface of each pocket part and on the front surface of the spine, including a first pocket on the front surface of one of the pocket parts, a second pocket on the front surface of the other pocket part, a third pocket overlying a portion of the first pocket, and a fourth pocket on the front surface of the spine. The pockets have open upper edges through which items may be inserted into and removed from the pockets. The items include hygienic wipes in the first and second pockets, a condom in the third pocket, and a lubricant in the fourth pocket.

Abstract: A foldable package for containing multiple diverse items for convenient access to the items, said package having first and second pocket parts with front surfaces, back surfaces, top and bottom edges, and opposite end edges. The pocket parts are foldably joined to each other along a spine and are pivotable about the spine from an open position to a closed position with one pocket part overlying the other so that the front surfaces are in confronting juxtaposed relationship. At least one pocket is formed on the front surface of each pocket part, the pockets having open upper edges through which items may be inserted into and removed from the pockets. A closure flap on one of the pocket parts is foldable over an adjacent edge of the other pocket part to secure the pocket parts in closed position.

Abstract: An adjustable plumbing fitting has a piston rotatably and telescopically engaged in a housing, with one end of the housing adapted to be connected to a first plumbing part, and a cylindrical extension on the piston projecting from an opposite end of the housing and adapted to be connected to a second plumbing part. In one embodiment, two housings and associated pistons are integrally joined together to form a T-fitting for connecting the overflow and drain of a bathtub. In another embodiment, the housing is integrally formed with a J-shaped drain trap, and in another embodiment the housing and/or piston is integrally formed with a water closet flange.

Abstract: A toilet utensil holder for holding toilet utensils such as a toilet brush and a plunger is shaped as a ship. The holder has a base section forming a hull of the ship, with basins for receiving the utensils, and in a preferred embodiment covers are pivoted to the base section for covering an operative end of the utensils and forming a superstructure of the ship. Handles of the utensils extend above the base portion, and in the preferred embodiment above the covers, and simulate masts or other parts of a ship. A handle may be affixed to the holder to lift and carry it.

Abstract: A device for attachment to ordinary containers such as bottles, cans and glasses to enable an infant or toddler to drink from the container by using a straw. The device includes a flexible bag-like adapter having a stretchable elastic band on a first end for removable sealed attachment to an open end of the container, and a reduced diameter neck on a second end. A straw extends through and is fixed and sealed to the neck, and extends through the adapter and projects from the adapter at its opposite ends. Tabs on the first end of the adapter facilitate stretching of the band, which has enough strength to resist removal of the device by infants and toddlers, but is relatively easy to apply and remove by an adult. The length of the straw may be adjustable, and the straw may include a flexible bendable joint.

Abstract: A fluid control valve adapted to be positioned behind a wall or other surface having an access opening for gaining access to the valve, wherein a cover plate is secured against the surface in covering relationship to the access opening to conceal the opening and the valve. A mounting bracket is affixed to the valve, and has a pair of wings projecting from opposite sides of the valve. Threaded openings are formed in the wings for receiving threaded fasteners extended through the cover plate and access opening to hold the cover plate against the surface. A sealing ring is positioned between the cover plate and wall to seal the cover plate relative to the surface.
