Abstract: Devices and methods using ultra-violet C (UV-C) radiation and/or its by-product to sanitize and/or deodorize. In use, a device's housing may be placed over the opening of a vessel. The housing may be held in place by a clip(s) that attach(es) to the periphery of the opening. A UV-C radiation source may extend from the bottom of housing into the interior of the vessel. The source may be selectably activated in one or more modes such as a selected time. Upon activation, UV-C radiation and its by-product begin to fill the vessel's interior. Because the opening of the vessel is substantially covered, the radiation and its by-product cannot easily escape. After a time, the radiation and its by-product fill the interior and begin to permeate the interior walls of the vessel, thereby sanitizing and deodorizing the interior and some of the interior walls of the vessel.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a toothbrush and in particular to a combination folding toothbrush-toothpaste system. The system is compact and can be readily made tamper resistant. The folding toothbrush is readily carried in one's pocket or purse.The toothbrush of the present invention in its simplest form has a two section handle. A first handle section having a brush end with bristles and a second handle section having a terminal end with a protrusion containing a reservoir. The reservoir is contoured to conform to the profile of the brush.Means for connecting and pivotally rotating the first handle section with respect to the second handle section are provided. It is preferred that the pivotable motion be limited between the first handle section and the second handle section such, that when the toothbrush is in the open position the protrusion and the bristles of the brush are diametrically opposed. When the toothbrush is in a closed position the reservoir encompasses the bristles.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an anti-theft device and in particular, to a device which covers so as to obscure and secure all or part of the console of an automobile near the gear shift lever and all or part of an automobile radio, tape deck, CB radio or scanner, when such are mounted in the console or central area of the dashboard. The device of the present invention has a contoured shield. The sides of the shield are provided with rails contoured to engage the console and extend around the console. A protrusion is positioned in the shield and so configured as to accept the gear shift lever when the shield is positioned over the console. A means for locking the shield around the gear shift lever is provided. It is preferred that means be provided to positively attaches the shield to the dashboard.
