Abstract: This invention is a safety razor-blade holder consisting of a block of sponge-like material that is semi-rigid when dry and flacid when wet in which a conventional razor-blade assembly is implanted. The cutting edge or edges of the razor blades are preferably on or slightly below the surface of the sponge-block. When the wet sponge-block assembly is pressed lightly on the skin surface to be shaved, and moved in the direction indicated by the shape of the sponge-block, shaving occurs. It is particularly suitable for shaving arms, underarms, legs and body areas. No previous operational skill is necessary to shave satisfactorily.

Abstract: This invention is a thermally activated penile prosthesis, consisting of two normally limp cylindrical tubes which when implanted in the corporal cavernosa of an impotent man's penis, and activated, will restore his potency. When heat is applied to the prosthesis, and it reaches a temperature of 98.2 degrees F., the activated chemical gasifies, and causes an entrapped saline liquid to flow into a tubular cavity, causing a stiffening of the normally limp prosthesis. The trapped liquid in a bent, substantially non-stretchable tube, is stiffened. A squeeze operated valve is used to deflate the prosthesis. The saline liquid used in the system will neutralize the hydrocarbon chemical in case there is leakage or accidental rupture of the component parts of the prosthesis, thus making it safe for use by the implantee.

Abstract: A garden swing of the type popular from 1890 is unstable when entering and leaving. This could result in accidents, especially for elderly people.A novel, easily operated swing stabilizer device has been provided by this invention. Also the invention provides a tabletop that moves only horizontally when swinging. The tabletop provides a means for accommodating books, foods and drinks while relaxing and swinging.

Abstract: A pair of inflatable tubes for implanting in the corporal cavernosa of a man's penis to restore potency. These prosthesis tubes contain a small charge of a hydrocarbon fluid which when heated to a temperature above 98.3.degree. F. boils, building up a gas pressure and causing a stiffening of the prosthesis tubes. When the prosthesis is cooled below 98.3.degree. F. the gas condenses and allows the prosthesis to go limp again. The use of a heat sensitive hydrocarbon in the prosthesis eliminates the need for a pump as a prime mover to cause an erection.

Abstract: An improved toothbrush designed for brushing along the major axis of the teeth. The bristles make an obtuse angle with the major axis of the handle. A tongue-and-groove means is provided so that the brushhead can be easily removed and replaced on the same handle. The brush mounting incorporates a resilient means for automatically promoting a wiping action to the bristles.

Abstract: An aid for opening and reopening of rectangular, frozen dessert boxes. The aid is a cut tab which is located in the outer edge portion of the innermost lid of the box. The cut tab includes a curved cut and a scoreline. The curved cut has a circumference of approximately 2/3 of a circle and has its ends connected to the scoreline. The scoreline is inclined at a predetermined angle with the side edge of the lid. The cut tab is located a predetermined distance from a corner and has an area which provides ample finger room for a finger opening. Opening instructions are printed in cut tab area. Another cut tab may be located near the opposite corner of the lid with its scoreline similarly inclined as the other cut tab. To break the bond between the frozen dessert and the lid, one depresses the cut tab inwardly with his finger to create a finger opening and then lifts upwardly with the finger. To reopen a partially emptied box, one places a finger within the finger opening and then lifts upwardly with the finger.
