Abstract: Methods for facilitating hygienic storage and disposal of waste packages such as used with disposable diapers includes a housing, a rotatable member, and a bag unit having a bag frame and attached single use flexible bag. The user aligns and releasably mounts the bag frame to the housing. The rotatable member has a plurality of inwardly extending fingers. The inwardly extending fingers have a bag contact surface that operatively interacts with the single use flexible bag. A temporary seal is created by twisting a portion of the single use flexible bag with the rotatable member and the package is pushed through the twist for disposal.

Abstract: Modular and flexible brush systems are disclosed having multiple interchangeable parts that have different functions. A base portion contains a nipple brush. A handle portion includes various internal connecting mechanisms and stores the nipple brush. A top portion includes a bottle brush and has a flexible neck portion.

Abstract: A container assembly for storing and dispensing flowable products. The container assembly having a container, a collar, a lid and a ledge. The container has a closed lower end and an upper open end defining an internal opening therein. The collar is connected to the upper open end of the container. The lid is connected to the collar and has a holder mechanism comprising a pair of projections defining a slotted opening into which a handle of a scoop is removably secured. The ledge extends partially into the internal opening and has a flat portion adapted to scrape off excess material scooped from within the container.

Abstract: A bite proof drinking straw assembly. The drinking straw assembly has a straw comprising an upper portion and a lower portion of different durometers. The upper portion is made of a first material of a first durometer and the lower portion is made of a second material of a second durometer. The second material of the second durometer is different from the first material of the first durometer. An upper end of the lower portion is attached to a lower end of the upper portion.

Abstract: A non-spill collar and valve assembly having a collar and a seal. The collar comprising an internal wall having a support surface and one or more passage therethrough. The internal wall having a frustoconical shape with an open upper end that extends downward and inwardly into a closed lower end with a projection extending outward therefrom and a fastener assembly provided opposite the internal wall. The internal wall further comprises a support surface provided along an inner surface of the open upper end having one or more protrusions disposed radially adjacent to the support surface defining one or more channels. One or more passages are disposed through the internal wall to channel a fluid at a desired flow rate. The seal has a first surface substantially similar to a shape of the internal wall is also provided. The seal has a blind bore recess on a lower surface for receiving and securing the projection therein.

Abstract: A cassette for use in dispensing a pleated tubing within a waste container. The cassette comprising an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with a central cylindrical core. An annular cover extends inward over the annular body defining a gap. The cover is secured to the body and at least one elongated boss is disposed on an outer surface of the cassette. The elongated boss extends is adapted to receive a key element capable of rotating, or preventing rotation of the cassette.

Abstract: A non-spill container assembly having a container, a collar and an annular seal from which drinking can occur at any location around a rim of the container assembly. The collar has an internal frustoconical shape wall with a circular upper end that extends downward and inwardly into a closed lower end. The closed lower end has a projection that extends outward from its center. The collar includes a support surface arranged along an inner surface of an upper edge of the circular upper end and a fastener assembly disposed adjacent to a bottom of the collar provided to securely fasten to a container. A plurality of passages are radially disposed around the projection in the internal frustoconical shape wall to channel a fluid. A plurality of radial protrusions disposed radially adjacent to the support surface defining various channels along the support surface.

Abstract: A bite-proof spout is disclosed which contains multiple durometer material, such that the higher durometer material is in closer contact to the mouth of a user to be able to withstand biting without undue deterioration than the lower durometer material which is positioned further away from the mouth.

Abstract: A wet wipe container having a housing having an internal compartment for holding wet wipes, a lid and a moisturizing spray dispenser. The lid has a dispensing opening through which wipes are dispensed and a dispensing opening lid for covering the dispensing opening while not in use. The moisturizing spray dispenser has an outlet positioned to dispense fluid directly onto the wet wipes in a storage position in the housing.

Abstract: A barrier has an expandable width barrier having opposing first and second ends. A locking arm is pivotably coupled to the expandable width barrier at the first end and slidably coupled to the expandable width barrier at the second end. The locking arm may be an adjustable-length construction. The pivoting of the locking arm causes the barrier to move between locked and unlocked states. When the locking arm is pivoted to lock the barrier, it causes the barrier to linearly expand a supplemental amount and fits the barrier to opposing sides of a passageway opening.

Abstract: A toilet training device includes an odor remediation system for absorbing or masking odors that may be created during toilet training. The odor remediation system may include a modular odor remediating insert that may be releasably positioned within a recess that is provided within the toilet training device. The odor remediating insert may include an odor absorbing substance such as sodium bicarbonate, an odor masking substance such as a fragrance or a combination of an odor absorbing substance and an odor masking substance. The toilet training device also includes a system for dispensing wipes that may utilize a recess that is defined in a side wall of the main body portion of the toilet training device. A wipes cartridge is designed so that it can be used to conveniently dispense wipes regardless of whether it is separated from the toilet training device or mounted within the recess of the toilet training device.
