Abstract: A lid for a drinking cup that is particularly suitable for use with disposable cups. The lid generally includes a lid cover portion and a tab member portion, Both the lid cover portion and the tab member portion include a lower perimeter flange that is configured to fit snugly over the upper rim of the coffee cup. The lid cover portion includes a first opening formed and a second opening formed in a recessed portion of the lid cover portion. The tab member portion includes a first raised member and a second raised member formed in a recessed portion of the tab member portion. The first raised member sized and shaped to be received within the first opening, and the second raised member sized and shaped to be received within the second opening.

Abstract: An upper-shelf assembly having a vertical rear wall extending the width of the assembly, and a bottom surface in communication with the vertical rear wall. Horizontal and vertical base tracks are mounted with the sides of the cabinet's side walls, the horizontal base tracks retractable in a horizontal orientation, and the vertical base tracks retractable in a vertical orientation. The assembly includes a rest or storage position where the assembly is positioned with the cabinet's selected shelf, a first position where the bottom surface is horizontally extended from the selected shelf and, a second position where the assembly is horizontally extended and then vertically lowered from the selected shelf so that goods stored on the bottom surface of the assembly have easier visibility and are easier to access, remove or replace.

Abstract: An air driven impression syringe designed to be held with a pen type grip and capable of precise placement of impression material. An embodiment of the device is a dental tool useful in the fabrication of dental prostheses capable of extruding impression material comprising a cylindrical grip body with two ends, an air-driven piston with a center rod; and where the cylindrical body defines a bore to accept the air driven piston, a channel on one end of the syringe and a source of pressurized air. The syringe includes a disposable tip pre-loaded with dental impression material attached to the channel such that a second bore in said syringe tip containing dental impression material aligns with the rod and wherein the rod can extend beyond the end of the body into the second bore to extrude material from the tip.

Abstract: A low-rider roller skate having a first sole, a pair of front wheels attached to a front axle that is mounted to a front portion of the first sole, and a pair of wheels attached to a rear axle that is mounted to a rear portion of the first sole. The skate defines a longitudinal length, where the rear axle is perpendicular to the length, and the front axle is disposed at an angle to the length, such that the front axle is not parallel with the rear axle. The roller skate including a second sole member including a cap toe sized for receiving a toe-portion of the roller skate, and second heel that rests over a heel-portion of the roller skate, and an integral waist therebetween, the waist includes a front indent for receiving the front axle, and a rear indent for receiving the rear axle. With the second sole member attached, the skates no longer act as roller skates but are walking shoes. With the second sole member removed, the skates are low-rider skates.

Abstract: A sulcus impression tip for injecting dental impression material for making dental impressions. The tip includes a body having a gripping portion and a discharge tip having a bore there through which permits a friction fit with the outside diameter of needle cannula. The needle cannula extends approximately 2 millimeters past a distal end of the discharge tip. The body further defines an angle for holding the gripping portion to permit the discharge tip and needle cannula to be positioned for easy access in the oral cavity by the dentist. The discharge tip is sized and shaped to separate the gum from the tooth in the selected region so that the needle cannula is positioned to permit exact positioning for placement of the dental impression material along the sulcus.

Abstract: A sulcus impression tip for use in injecting dental impression material for making dental impressions. The apparatus includes a body having a gripping portion and a discharge tip. The body includes a needle cannula in fluid communication with a flange, wherein the flange receives and holds the dental impression material and is secured in the interior surface of the gripping portion. The discharge tip has a bore there through which permits a friction fit with the outside diameter of needle cannula. The length of the needle cannula is approximately longer than the length of the discharge tip. The body further defines an angle such that when the dentist is holding the gripping portion, the angle permits the discharge tip and needle cannula to be positioned for easy access in the oral cavity by the dentist.

Abstract: An arrangement for concealing a garden hose defined by a receptacle receiving the garden hose and an overlying lid. The lid, when in combination, serves garden hose concealment purposes, but, additionally, may be independently used. In any event, the lid presents a central post having a handle arrangement on the upper end thereof and surrounded by a space of sufficient depth to receive, for example, decorative potted plants. When assembled, an attractive unit is presented largely showing the plants and only fully revealing the garden hose after uncovering for full access to the receptacle.
