  • Patent number: 6176235
    Abstract: Device comprised of a container (3) associated to a pump (4), and intended to the forced expectoration of pulmonary mucus by generating in the total air volume of the lungs controlled oscillatory variations of pressure, frequency and amplitude up to optimum valuesso as to achieve the thixotropy of the mucus, the device being characterized in that the container (3) forming the oscillatory pressure variator contains an air volume to which is applied suddenly and cyclically a progressive oscillatory depression and communicates with the air of the lungs through a flexible hose (2) and a respiratory mask (1). The device has two conduits (6) to communicate the air contained in the lungs and the hose (2) with the tympanums.

  • Patent number: 5875956
    Abstract: A package for a food product such as a cylindrical sandwich includes an elongate central strip having a plurality of fold lines defining a series of panels. A central panel of the series includes a central flap connected at each side edge, and other closure flaps are connected to at least some of the other panels. The panels are folded with respect to each other so that the endmost panels are positioned to define a polygonal cross-section for the package. The closure flaps and central flaps are folded to close the package. An outer portion of each central flap is free from the remaining closure flaps to permit outward folding of the panels for access to the food product. Several alternative embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5743445
    Abstract: The opening and pouring device is useful for a cylindrical liquid-containing container, particularly a metal beverage can, having a cover (A) provided with an openable protective cap (6) defined by a precut perimeter (7) in the cover (A). The opening and pouring device is a metal hand lever riveted to the cover (A) and acting as an opening device for staving in the protective cap (6). The metal hand lever includes a volume pouring spout (1) acting as a drive arm thereof for staving in the protective cap (6) and includes a lip (L) and an open clipping ring (12) provided with a clipping flange (13) of semicircular cross-section consisting of an outer lateral thickened portion for securing the pouring spout (1) in the hole formed by staving in the protective cap.

  • Patent number: 5549217
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing granules from a container having a circular mouth, includes a body having first and second cylindrical components joined together by an axial spindle, a cylindrical roundel including a radial slit which is adapted to clip onto the axial spindle, and a receptacle. The first and second cylindrical components of the body have a plurality of circumferential notches adapted to receive granules from the container. The cylindrical roundel has a radial slit which receives a single granule from the first cylindrical component, for passage to the second cylindrical component. The receptacle includes driving means adapted to rotate the body for dispensing the granules.

  • Patent number: 4989875
    Abstract: Die containing eight planar hexagonal surfaces and six convex portions capable of producing random results when thrown. The convex faces are dimensioned so as to constitute areas of unstable equilibrium to favor positioning of the die on one of the hexagonal surfaces when so thrown. The die can be marked with card values and suits associated with a deck of playing cards whereby a set containing the marked dice can be utilized to play poker card games. Moreover, the card values and suits can be positioned on the dice so that marking of the dice can be performed in a two pass printing process.

  • Patent number: 4795648
    Abstract: A sandwich wrapper is formed from a substantially rectangular sheet by providing a plurality of overlapping folds which are positioned into a substantially pleated arrangement. Two substantially parallel lines of adhesive, glue, or adhesive tape are used to attach spaced apart zones of the folded areas to each other. The dimensions of the sheet with respect to an article to be wrapped, spacing between the adhesive lines, and dimensions of the fold can be calculated to provide an efficient and cost-effective food wrapper.

  • Patent number: 4609301
    Abstract: A washing and scrubbing utensil has a hollow elongated handle having a back longitudinal end provided with a cap and an opposite front longitudinal end formed with a central longitudinally forwardly projecting feed tube communicating with the interior of the handle and with two longitudinally forwardly projecting holding spikes each having opposite edges formed with sawteeth. A sponge is fitted to the front end with the spikes and feed tube imbedded in the sponge and the sawteeth of the spikes poking into the sponge. The spikes are generally flat and lie generally in a common plane with the teeth of each spike projecting oppositely in the plane, the sponge being formed with respective slits receiving the spikes and extending generally perpendicular to the plane thereof. The sponge is formed with a further such slit between the slits of the spikes and receiving the feed tube.
