Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for storing and dispensing pen needles for an injection device, including a case having dispensing and storage ends for dispensing and storing a plurality of pen needles and a plurality of needle cover units, each pen needle having a patient end and a hub for connection to the injection device, and each needle cover unit having a needle-covering portion for covering a patient end and a hub-covering portion for covering a hub. A needle-covering portion covering the needle of one pen needle is coupled with a hub-covering portion covering a hub of another pen needle. Prior to use, a hub-covering portion covering the hub of a pen needle is exposed to an outside at the dispensing end of the case, and subsequent to use, the pen needle is stored in the storage end of the case.

Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained substance infusion device which provides one or more substantially hidden patient needles which can be placed in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir subassembly that includes a rigid bladder portion used in conjunction with a non-distensible bladder film, such as a metallized film. Simple removal of an interlock allows a disk, or Belleville spring assembly to apply an essentially even and constant pressure to the contents of the fluid reservoir assembly, and allows the device to then be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact surface. A push button activation assembly is provided which can then be used to release and seat one or more spring-loaded patient needles into the skin surface, and establish a fluid communication path between the patient needles and the pressurized fluid reservoir contents thereby delivering an infusion into the skin.

Abstract: A hand-powered sanding tool utilizes a rigid sanding plate, such as one made of steel. The sanding plate has a plurality of material removal teeth on at least one side for removing material from a workpiece, such as for sanding a board or a wall. The sanding plate is attached to a handle that is preferably ergonomically designed for ease of use. In preferred embodiments, the sanding plate is attached to the handle such that it may be repeatably removed and attached thereto without affecting performance. Further, in some embodiments, the sanding plate is reversible so as to provide an alternate sanding surface for use.

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying a banner includes left and right end pieces, each including a hinged bracket. Each bracket includes a guide portion having a substantially planar guide surface, and a hook portion. Cross-members extend between the end pieces to form a generally rectangular display fame. A light bar is provided which fits into cut-away portions of the brackets. A second display frame with brackets is also provided with cut-away portions for the light bar.

Abstract: An inner container is disposed within an outer container containing an amount of foamable liquid sufficient to provide a substantial foam production capacity. The dual-container foam dispenser is provided with a porous diffusing element having material surface characteristics optimally suited for diffusing pressurized air into stationary foamable liquid located within the inner container, thereby producing high-quality foam. The inner container is provided with an upper valve and a lower valve, each biased open by a return-action biasing force. The valves open to permit flow in either direction between the containers, depending upon system pressure changes during different stages in the foam production cycle, to prevent leakage of foam out of the device and to permit refilling the inner container.

Abstract: A portable wheeled cart for work in yard and garden includes a body having a bottom wall and a pair of opposing sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom wall. The sidewalls include a plurality of open-ended passageways defined therein for receiving handles of yard tools. In the wheelbarrow position, the yard tools and supplies can be readily transported from one location to another without requiring repeated trips between locations. Moreover, for storing yard and garden supplies and tools, the cart can be rotated into an upright position about the wheel means, wherein the yard tools can be stored and wherein the front and rear walls of the wheelbarrow form shelves for holding lawn and garden supplies.

Abstract: A power tool handle includes a tapered tubular portion, which contains a battery pack, a motor, and a gear box. The switch for controlling the electricity from the battery pack to the motor is placed over the gear box and extends through the housing.

Abstract: A hand tool includes an electrically-conductive work engaging portion. The electrically-conductive work engaging portion is connected in series with a fuse which, in turn, is connected in series with the tool handle. Small electrical charges are allowed to flow through the tool and dissipated through a charge dissipation system. If a large charge passes through the tool, the fuse blows, thus preventing injury to the tool user.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for cutting cloth or the like, including a lower substantially fixed blade and an upper movable blade pivotal with respect to the fixed blade. A handle extends at an acute angle with respect to the fixed blade and substantially transverse to the pivot axis of the blades. A lever is pivotally disposed within the handle, and the lever contacts a cam attached to the movable blade such that pivoting the lever effects pivoting of the movable blade. A trigger mechanism is disposed in the handle and manipulation of the trigger mechanism effects pivoting of the lever, and thus the movable blade.
