Publication number: 20040244812Abstract: A device includes a cover and a base. The base may define at least one compartment including an opening. The cover may be movable with respect to the base, in a generally hinge-like manner, between a closed position in which the cover covers the opening of the compartment and an open position in which access to the compartment is permitted. The device may be configured to limit the angular extent of generally hinge-like movement of the cover. In some examples, the device may be in the form of a cosmetic compact having a mirror that is oriented in a desired manner when cover is in its open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2003Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: David Seidler, Stephanie L. Longworth, Luis Manuel Garcia

Patent number: 6290489Abstract: An inclusion candle includes an inner core formed of wax and a wick, an outer annulus formed of wax and an inflammable inclusion and a mesh sleeve disposed Intermediate the core and the annulus. The sleeve defines interstices therethrough, the wax of the core and the wax of the annulus binding together through the interstices of the sleeve. The sleeve is formed of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion compatible with that of the annulus wax to preclude cracking of said annulus during candle formation and candle burning.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2000Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Inventor: David Seidler

Patent number: 6045003Abstract: A liquid dosage dispenser includes a bottle and a dispenser apparatus supported on the bottle having a housing or sleeve extending into the bottle and a plunger device having a through passageway extending into the housing for longitudinal movement therein. The housing includes an opening through which liquid in the bottle can be drawn into the housing. A helical channel and one or more vertical channels are provided in the housing. The plunger device is rotatable within the housing to permit a follower extending from the plunger device to ride in the helical channel to move the plunger longitudinally in the housing. As the plunger moves upwardly within the housing, a preselected amount of liquid is drawn into the housing. When the follower is positioned in a vertical channel associated with a desired dosage level, the plunger may be forced downwardly to deliver the desired dosage through the passageway and out of the dispenser.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1999Date of Patent: April 4, 2000Assignee: Concept Workshop Worldwide, LLCInventor: David Seidler
