  • Publication number: 20240147957
    Abstract: A manually activated non-vibratory omnidirectional doorbell contact switch that provides cats and dogs alike, of any size, height, mass, or intrinsic forceful capabilities, with the means to send an electronically generated signal to their respective caretakers by applying from any external direction, a most natural non-linear swiping action of an arcing forepaw to the moment producing cantilevered end of a flexible electrical conductor which, by being forced to come into contact with an electrical conductor similarly cantilevered and in close proximity to the interior of the outer flexible electrical conductor which is hollow, closes a previously open statically energized electrical circuit, which actions subsequently and most humanely activate a doorbell signal receiver to which the omnidirectional form of the mechanical doorbell switch has been connected to and/or to which it is paired.

  • Patent number: 11358848
    Abstract: The present device is an improvement in the manner in which individuals are enabled to more swiftly and conveniently attach, detach, store, reposition, carry, tote, and ultimately access the contents of a commercially manufactured personally sized beverage container having a circumferential flange about its neck region, regardless of either the shape or the size of the containers neck. Being easily affixed and subsequently detached from clothing or accoutrements, this simple and inexpensive device enables the mobile user to enjoy an unencumbered hands-free toting experience which in turn further promotes responsible behavior in such activities as the disposal, the recycling, or reuse of the container. Further, the frame itself is configured to be potentially cast from either a recycled resin-based material, or it can also be just as efficiently cast, or die-cut from a non-floatable type of recyclable metal, which makes the end-use of this convenience device most environmentally friendly.

  • Publication number: 20210179408
    Abstract: A multi-function convenience device for the ease of toting a water or beverage bottle to promote responsible behavior in the disposal, recycling, or the reuse of a commercially manufactured container of a personal size. By selecting from an array of connectors a bottle having a neck of virtually any shape or size may be easily affixed to a frame, which may then be subsequently affixed to various parts of clothing, or extraneous accoutrements may be affixed to the device itself, allowing the user of the device to enjoy a hands-free and unencumbered toting experience while keeping their hydrating needs close at hand during all types of dynamic end-use conditions, while providing individuals who are afflicted with impaired hand or finger strength, the ability to further utilize the device to assist in removing various types of small caliber twist-off type caps from bottles, or flip-top lids from containers.
