  • Patent number: 7216380
    Abstract: A corner guard arrangement for a box spring, the corner guard arrangement having first and second members formed of a sheet material and being interlocked together, the interlocking arrangement being such that the first and second members are in sliding engagement to permit adjustment for different height box springs, one end of each of the first and second members being engaged with a perimeter wire on the box spring. The arrangement permits a smooth covering of fabric material on the box spring.

  • Patent number: 6742215
    Abstract: A drywall knife having a handle and a blade securely mounted thereon. The handle includes an elongated inner core having a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, a front end, a rear end and first and second opposite surfaces extending from the rear end to the front end of the inner core along the longitudinal axis of the handle, the blade being securely mounted to the front end of the inner core. The improvement resides in that the inner core of the handle includes at least one recess having an opening facing the first surface so as to reduce the overall weight of the drywall knife, and the inner core further includes a lid hingedly mounted to the first surface of the inner core, said lid being positioned and sized to be folded about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the inner core so as to cover each recess. The drywall knife is inherently lightweight due to its design. The drywall knife is mounted onto the blade without the use of fasteners, due to the design of the handle and blade.

  • Patent number: 6585114
    Abstract: A lid for a medical waste container which receives sharps waste such as hypodermic needles. The lid has a closure hinged to the lid by a flexible strap and movable between first and second recesses in the lid. The first recess is closed and simply receives and retains the closure when the lid is open for depositing waste. The second recess has an opening through which waste can be deposited into the container. A temporary locking mechanism retains the closure in the second recess by a snap fit but allows the closure to be lifted from the second recess to open the container. A permanent locking mechanism, when actuated, locks the closure in the second recess permanently so that the container is sealed for autoclaving and cannot be reopened.
