  • Publication number: 20130325736
    Abstract: A system for selling comprises allowing an item 10 to be purchased by a user, allowing at least one cause to be associated with the item, providing a dispersement indicator 12 to indicate to a user that purchasing of the item liberates a dispersement to at least one cause, and dispersing the dispersement to the at least one cause when the item 10 is purchased by the user. Preferably there is provided a user account for the user which may allow dispersement information to be viewed by the user. Preferably dispersement settings are alterable by the user. Preferably there is provided a link protocol so that user and cause can be linked when a dispersement is made by user to cause. In an alternative embodiment, spontaneous cause creation may be facilitated via the system, with users able to push a cause, dispersing to the cause via otherwise unrelated purchases.

  • Publication number: 20130305998
    Abstract: A pet cleaning apparatus 10 comprises a portable lightweight self-contained pre-pressurizable fluid control and mix delivery station 12, a glove device 24 for outputting fluid, and a connecting member 26 for connecting the station 12 and the glove device 24, thus facilitating simultaneous petting, holding and cleaning of a pet with a single hand. Preferably pressurizing is achieved via a hand pump 32. Preferably the glove device 24 incorporates a pressure activated system, so that fluid is outputted when pressure is applied to a coat of a pet. Distance outputting may also be provided, thus providing multiple variable output options for a user.

  • Patent number: 8578541
    Abstract: A shoe cleaning device 10 comprises a rotatable cleaning disc 12, a housing 14 on which the cleaning disc 12 is rotatably mountable, a horizontally mounted motor 16, mounted sideways within the housing 14 to maintain an extreme low profile, and a non-centrally configured gearbox 68, non-central to a central axis of the cleaning disc 12, non-centrally configured to allow the sideways mounted motor 16 to be housed within, or substantially within a circumference of the cleaning disc 12, the device 10 thus maintaining both an extreme low profile and an extreme compact diametric profile. Preferably the housing 14 encapsulates the motor 16, forming a mounded pinchgrip 38 for gripping by a user. Preferably there is provided a pressure activated unit 62 so that pressurizing of the pinchgrip 38 activates the device 10, which is intended to provide an intuitive interface.
