Abstract: A toy that can be placed on an animal crate as an on-crate treat delivery system. The toy can encourage low-energy positive reinforcement for animals acclimating to a new crate. The toy can be supported by a mesh network of the crate to provide an off-the-ground design that provides a treat to an animal inside the crate and helps keep an animal bed clean by not encouraging licking or chewing the bed. The toy can also be used facing outward from the crate, utilizing the crate as an elevated post for treat consumption.

Abstract: A lint brush includes a housing and a lint tool having a lint-removing material. The lint tool is movable along a longitudinal axis of the housing between a stowed position where the lint tool is housed in the housing and a deployed position where the lint tool is extended from the housing. The lint tool is rotatable relative to the longitudinal axis from the deployed position to a first rotated position. An actuator is mounted to one of the housing and the lint tool. The actuator is configured to move the lint tool from the first rotated position back to the deployed position.

Abstract: A coffee appliance includes a powered cooling system integrated with and matched to a hot coffee brewer, configured to cool freshly-brewed coffee by thermal contact to chill a small batch of fresh-brewed coffee in a cooled receiving vessel. The vessel has an evaporator coil to ice the beverage. The cooling system is a robust system, a phase change refrigerant compression-type system employing a positive-displacement compressor, sized in relation to its rate of thermal cooling and the temperature of the beverage and the thermal mass and conductivity of the fluid-contacting assembly, bringing hot coffee to an ice-cold temperature, 2-5° C., on demand and quickly. The fresh brewed, flash-cooled coffee has undiluted and undegraded flavor. An integrated appliance includes a coffee brewer and cooler in a single device, and a slide switch or valve allows the user to select hot or iced coffee.

Abstract: An insect trapping device having a base and a cartridge is provided. The cartridge has a shell and an insert. The insert is releaseably retained within the shell and has an adhesive portion for trapping insects. Gravitational force can pull the insert from the shell when the cartridge is removed from the base and the shell is squeezed by a user. The insect trapping device can have insect attractants, such as a light source and a heating element.

Abstract: A wine aerator includes a spout, a deflector connected with the spout, and an upper spout element connected with the spout. The spout connects with the neck of a wine bottle, defines an upstream outlet passage terminating at an intermediate outlet opening, and includes an extension defining a lower downstream surface downstream from the intermediate outlet opening. The deflector connects with the spout and is spaced from the lower downstream surface and is aligned with the intermediate outlet opening to cover the intermediate outlet opening. The upper spout element connects with the spout and is offset from the lower downstream surface. The upper spout element at least partially defines an aeration opening downstream from the intermediate outlet opening and the deflector. The upper spout element is configured to at least partially direct wine toward a downstream outlet opening while air contacts the wine through the aeration opening.
