  • Publication number: 20250153205
    Abstract: A dual-liquid spray apparatus for dispensing concurrently two different liquids, such as droplets, having a spray nozzle assembly with two nozzles, each having a nozzle axis for dispersing a spray pattern of a liquid along the nozzle axis. In some embodiments, the dual-liquid spray apparatus can dispense the two liquids concurrently and simultaneously, where the nozzle axis of the first nozzle diverges at a diverging angle from the nozzle axis of the second nozzle. In some embodiments, the dual-liquid spray apparatus can dispense the two liquids concurrently and alternatingly, where a first supply means provides a series of pulses of the first liquid composition to the first nozzle, and a second supply means provides a series of pulses of the second liquid composition to the second nozzle alternatingly and non-overlapping with the pulses of the first liquid composition.

  • Patent number: 5025919
    Abstract: A portable directory and note pad tray with several features. A first feature is a directory with a cover movable between open and closed positions that activates a light bulb circuit for lighting the directory cards when the cover is opened and deactivates the circuit for turning out the light bulb when the cover is closed. A second feature is a novel slide track, and slide arm structure by which the directory and tray are mountable to and de-mountable from a desired surface to present an optimum mounting angle for that surface. A third feature is a note pad tray with a novel base that includes a first finger gap in one of the tray's upstanding walls to allow individual sheets of a note pad to be easily removed from the tray, and a pencil recess defined in the tray with a magnetically attachable pencil that cooperates with a second finger gap in one of the tray's walls to allow easy removal of the pencil.

  • Patent number: 4922569
    Abstract: A manually usable hand tool having, in preferred form, a frame of substantially rectangular closed loop configuration. Squeegee and ice scraper blades are fixed to one frame end, and a brush is fixed to an adjacent frame side. A handle is pivotally connected to the frame, and is movable between a storage position generally co-extensive with the other frame side and an extended position directed away from the closed loop frame and generally co-axial with the frame's longitudinal axis. The handle and the frame are grippable together by a user if desired upon use of the hand tool when the handle is in the storage position and, alternatively, the handle is grippable alone by a user if desired upon use of the hand tool when the handle is in the extended position.

  • Patent number: 4717908
    Abstract: An alarm system that signals when one or more credit cards are absent from a card stack in the case if the system is enabled. In preferred form, a card stack thickness sensor responds to the stack thickness to determine whether all cards are present in the stack. A first signal device (e.g., a buzzer) in a circuit that includes a single sensor switch operated by the card stack thickness sensor informs the case's owner when not all cards are present if the circuit is enables. A second signal device (e.g., one or more of the cards, or a separate flag) that is projectable from and retractable into the case's interior is operated by a circuit enabling switch, this switch being manually controlled for enabling the circuit when the case is to be stored (the second signal device being disabled, i.e.
