  • Patent number: 8245876
    Abstract: A container for storing and dispensing wipes that includes an extendable orifice. The orifice is extendable into the storage space of the wipes container to position an opening in close proximity with the top of a stack of wipes stored in the container. The extendable orifice may also act to reduce moisture loss in the case of wet-wipes and reduce the occurrence of fall-back.

  • Patent number: 6378826
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a controller for use with racing games and simulations running on a personal computer which includes a specially adapted attachment mechanism for desktop mounting. A particular embodiment of the controller includes a housing for removably attaching the controller to a desktop and a rotatable steering wheel mounted to the housing for manipulating the game object. An clamping assembly is received in the housing. An adjustable arm is pivotally connected to the clamping assembly and includes a substantially curved bridging portion and a distal end, the bridging portion extending to an underside of the desktop such that the distal end opposes an extension of the housing on an upper side of the desktop. The clamping assembly binds the desktop between the arm and the housing. A first embodiment of the clamping assembly includes a retention tube received in the housing having a first end and a threaded second end. A clamp is pivotally connected to the retention tube first end.

  • Patent number: 5101530
    Abstract: An improved, light-weight squeegee suitable for use in and around the home for cleaning and drying shower and tub enclosures, windows, and spa decks, or autos and boat decks. The squeegee is constructed without metal parts that could scratch glass, ceramic and painted surfaces or that could corrode and stain such surfaces. A cylindrical handle holds dual S-shaped blades, which extend along the handle and beyond one end of the handle to facilitate cleaning in tight spaces. The unitary blades are coextruded from thermoplastics having different hardnesses, the roots of the blades held in the slotted handle being stiff, while the extended portions of the blades used for wiping surfaces are relatively flexible. The compact size and the integral handle parallel with the blades allows the user to maneuver the squeegee efficiently in the narrow confines of glass enclosures.

  • Patent number: 5074027
    Abstract: A squeegee has a handle consisting of a straight elongate cylindrical member having a pair of elongate blades mounted along one side, flush with one end of the handle and protruding beyond the opposite end. The blades each have a rigid base portion received in one of a pair of channels and a flexible distal portion protruding therefrom for wiping a surface. The blades are integrally formed in a shallow S-shaped cross section and the channels are formed with parallel curved sidewalls conforming to the curvature of a portion of the width of the blade.
