  • Patent number: 9648946
    Abstract: A flexible bottle for containing a disinfecting liquid that can be used to disinfect a toothbrush. The bottle has a large reservoir for contain the disinfecting liquid and a small, secondary reservoir that is located proximate to the top of the bottle and which can be filled by squeezing the flexible bottle to force a quantity of the disinfecting liquid into the small, secondary reservoir. There is a cap that is designed to accept a toothbrush for entry into the container and which may have a slot formed therein or flexible flaps. The bottle can, therefore, be filled with disinfecting liquid and a toothbrush introduced into the small reservoir for disinfecting the toothbrush. The disinfecting liquid can then be discarded from the small reservoir and the secondary reservoir refilled as needed by the user.

  • Patent number: 7503400
    Abstract: A nail gun includes a power coil for moving a plunger in two opposed directions. The plunger is first moved away from a nail, and force from this movement is stored in a force storage mechanism. The plunger is then driven by the coil in an opposed direction, and the force stored within the forced storage mechanism is released, such that the released force and the power force from the coil are combined to drive a nail into a work piece.
