  • Patent number: 4888188
    Abstract: An inexpensive disposable sanitary sealed food package extrudes paste-like food products to a feeder implement, such as a spoon, fork, or projecting knife therefrom. The package is in the form of a squeeze tube with a nozzle discharging to the feeder implement on the tube. A shrink wrap plastic seal covers the dispensing end of the tube and implement and may directly seal the nozzle or carry a plug seated in the nozzle. The squeeze tube has longitudinal stiffening ribs so that the tube will act as a handle for the feeder implement projecting therefrom. A chemical heat pack activated by bending the tube may be suspended in the tube.

  • Patent number: 4513642
    Abstract: A variable adjustable wrench adapted to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts in somewhat inaccessible locations, has a head which is rotatable with respect to the handle such that the angular relationship between the head and handle is variable. A retaining means holds the head in a fixed angular relationship to the handle during the application of a force to a nut or bolt and permits the angular relationship to change while a force is not applied such that a virtually inaccessible nut or bolt can be tightened or loosened by wiggling the handle of the wrench. Means are provided to return the head to the original position after the head has reached its limit of angular travel.
