  • Patent number: 4204362
    Abstract: A baby's security blanket comprising a baby blanket approximately 30".times.40" and a resilient rubber or synthetic doll's head mounted on the blanket. The head may be of a human figure or of an animal. The head is hollow and open at the neck. A sponge or similar compressible article is placed in the center of the blanket and pushed through the open neck into the head to fasten the blanket in the head. The sponge is of a larger diameter than the head opening so that it will expand after insertion to lock the head to the blanket. The draping blanket now forms a body for the head and serves as a security blanket. A large teething ring is mounted frictionally around the neck of the head. The teething ring is provided with an integral laterally extending portion having a slot opening. A baby pacifier is adapted to be pushed through the slot opening to mount the pacifier on the extension.

  • Patent number: 4106162
    Abstract: A mold for forming a hamburger patty comprising upper and lower mold members. The lower mold comprises a flat disc portion of a suitable material such as stainless steel, etc. At the center of the disc, a wooden dowel or post extends upwardly, the dowel or post being annular or any other desired configuration. A half round rib extends annularly around the central dowel or post and spaced therefrom. The top of the mold is annular with a depending wall portion which defines the perimeter of the patty. The upper member has a central hollow post of the same shape as the lower dowel or post but with an internal diameter equal to the outer diameter of the lower post. This permits the upper post to slide over the lower post. The upper member is also provided with a complementary half round rib spaced from the central post and adapted to seat over the lower rib when the mold parts are positioned together. A glob or portion of ground meat is placed on the bottom portion of the mold surrounding the central post.
