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 compressible pacifier having a nipple, a conical protective sleeve and a handle. The protective sleeve has a first end connected to the nipple and a second end which covers the nursing end of the nipple when in an extended position. The handle is connected to the first end of the protective sleeve. While the protective sleeve is in a retracted position, a second end of the sleeve is concentrically disposed over the first end of the sleeve thereby exposing the nursing end of the nipple for use by an infant.

Abstract: A pacifier assembly including a compressible pacifier, a cover, a clip and a strap. The compressible pacifier has a nipple with a radial base which is secured between a ring and a handle. The cover is adapted to be secured to the compressible pacifier while the clip is adapted to be fastened to a general object. The strap is attached to the clip at a first end and the compressible pacifier at a second end.
