  • Patent number: 7731558
    Abstract: The present device is an illuminated building block device that mimics the look of a laser. The building block includes a non-opaque body comprising at least two mechanical connectors. At least two electrically independent conductors each traverse the body from each connector to each other connector. At least one LED is electrically connected to at least two of the electrical conductors. With at least two building blocks mechanically connected, a power source may be applied to one of the connectors of one of the building blocks to illuminate each LED. Preferably, the body of the building block is generally transparent and is capable of transmitting light from a colored LED to a connected block, thus mimicking the look of a laser. The invention also comprises a set of building blocks that permits light from an LED to pass from one connected block to an adjacent connected block.

  • Publication number: 20050137663
    Abstract: A headband for relieving the pain of a headache. The headband is fabricated from a single strip of elastic material. The elastic material is covered with a moisture-absorbing fabric. The fabric may be made in different colors to satisfy a user's aesthetic taste. Hook and loop fasteners are secured to the ends of the single strip for ease in attaching the band to the head and for adjusting the tension. The band can be misted with water and frozen for cool relief.
