  • Cigar cutter
    Patent number: 5765569
    Abstract: An improved cigar cutter capable of cutting a cylindrical plug from the end of a cigar is described. The cigar cutter includes a sharpened cylindrical blade slidably mounted on a cylindrical mandrel. The cylindrical blade has a radial orifice adjacent to its upper end sized to permit a ball bearing to extend partially through the orifice. The mandrel includes a helical groove extending about the circumference of the mandrel. The helical groove is sized to receive a portion of the ball bearing when the cylindrical blade is mounted on the mandrel. A cylindrical cover is provided having an inside diameter only slightly greater than the outside diameter of the cylindrical blade and a rectilinear slot extending downwardly from the top of the cover. The cover slides over the cylindrical blade with the radially outer portion of the protruding ball bearing being seated in the rectilinear slot. At least one spring-loaded pin and matching orifice is provided to retain the cover in position over the cylindrical blade.

  • Method of fabricating packs of self opening plastic bags
    Patent number: 5421803
    Abstract: Packs of T-shirt type plastic shopping bags are fabricated in such a manner that when the bags are mounted on conventional racks, as each bag is pulled off the rack, the front wall of the next ensuing bag is pulled out to open the bag for the depositing of articles to be packed in the bag. This is accomplished by providing a special configuration for the central tab which is hooked on the upwardly extending element in the rack. The tab has a narrow neck which is partially slit between the neck edges and is adhered to the tabs of adjacent bags by an adhesive spot applied in hot melt condition below the slit.
