  • Patent number: 5573803
    Abstract: Disclosed are peelers for fruits and vegetables and the like food products. The peelers are preferably tubular in shape and formed from an extruded flexible homogeneous composition. The tubular shape and its flexibility enables the inside diameter food contacting surfaces to roll towards and away from one another while compressively engaging the food between the surfaces. Compressive rolling engagement of a food product between the food contacting surfaces results in peeling away of the food product outer layers.

  • Patent number: 4736920
    Abstract: An attachment for hospital beds has a post which may be placed in any existing socket or other support for a device such an an IV bottle. While these sockets or supports are usually found on hospital beds, they are also found on X-ray tables, chairs, and the like. The inventive post has a horizontal arm with a vertical height or thickness so that the handle of a bottle may be hung over the arm. The vertical height or thickness will keep the bottle in an upright position and prevent it from rotating around the arm. The outer tip end of the arm is relatively pointed and the underside of the arm tapers downwardly. Therefore, a closed or U-shaped handle which is attached at both of its ends to an object may be slipped over the point and it will slide along the arm as far as permitted by the tapered underside to reach a stable vertically supporting position.
