Abstract: Specific embodiments of the present invention are directed to blade holders, which provide an easier method to cut by way of including a guide incorporated into the handle. This guide rests upon the surface to be cut, leading the cutting blade. Furthermore, the leading end of the tool is blunt, which is safer than leading with a sharp edge. In specific embodiments, the handle is of such a shape that the user can pull the tool straight back to cut, allowing the hand to rest in a more neutral and ergonomic position.

Abstract: The invention provides a device and method for packaging and merchandising personal healthcare products. A first aspect of the invention provides a device for storing health care products, comprising: a plurality of product containers, each product container including: a body; a dispensing portion; and an attachment feature; and a housing including a mating feature adapted to be compatible with the attachment feature of each of the plurality of product containers, wherein connection of the attachment feature of a product container and the mating feature of the housing substantially and non-fixedly secures the product container to the housing.

Abstract: Provided herein is various embodiments of a combined writing instrument holder and bookmark for use with a book and at least one writing instrument. The combined writing instrument holder and bookmark includes a first loop, a second loop and an elongate member. The first loop is generally sized to snugly receive at least a cover of a book. The second loop is generally sized to snugly receive a writing instrument so that a writing instrument can be secured to a book while the first loop receives at least a cover of a book. The elongate member has an attached end, a free end and a length therebetween, with the length useful as a bookmark while the first loop receives at least a cover of a book. Additional and alternative features are also provided.

Abstract: A pocketable device includes a body preferably made from a single piece of thin material which holds a notepad 48 and writing instrument 46. Slits or cutouts at appropriate locations on the body create a writing instrument receptacle 32 and tabs 56 and 57 for removing the device from a small space such as a credit card slot in a wallet. Gripping tabs 66 on a small writing instrument provide a hard stop for instrument storage, a handle for instrument insertion and removal, and more surface area for a better grasp on the instrument by the user during writing. This abstract description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention.

Abstract: A pocketable writing instrument includes an elongate body which incorporates a flexible dual tab grip 66. The grip provides the user with additional surface area with which to grip the instrument during writing; this allows the device to be comfortable during use yet small and compact during storage. When used in conjunction with a pocketable note holder, the grip also performs additional functions: it provides an axial stop for the instrument such that it can be repeatedly placed in the same position within the holder (preventing instrument protrusion from the device); and it allows the user to easily insert and remove the instrument from the receptacle, whereas this action might otherwise be awkward with a traditional small elongate object. This abstract description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention.

Abstract: A seating unit comprising a base configured to be positioned on a floor, a torsional energy unit connected to the base, a back connected to the torsional energy unit and a seat rotatably connected to the torsional energy unit. The torsional energy unit biases the back to a forward position. The torsional energy unit further limits angular rotation of the seat between a substantially horizontal seating position and a substantially vertical seating position.
