Abstract: A clip-like device applicable to foods which are generally eaten by hand while grasping an extension therefrom is presented. The food clip includes first and second arms and a hinge. The first and second arms are generally planar and elongated elements forming a handle region and a grasping region. The hinge is disposed between and attached to the first and second arms. The hinge is comprised of a compressible and/or deformable yet resilient block-shaped element. The sides of the hinge are shaped so that the grasping region is normally closed and open when a force is applied to the handle region so as to deform the hinge. The grasping region presses against, nearly surrounds, and supports the extension from a food item when the first and second arms are closed. Food items could include, but are not limited to, meats, fish, foul, vegetables, prepared items, such as french fries and hotdogs, and other consumables eaten using a hand or a utensil.

Abstract: A noise making toy for making a gurgling sound to imitate a bodily function is provided having a rigid, hollow and elongate tube sealed at each end by an elastically expansible flexible bladder. The elongate tube and the bladders define an inner volume that is sealed from an ambient outside environment and filled with a combination of a highly viscous, gel-like material and a gas, whereby when one of the flexible bladders is squeezed, the highly viscous gel-like material and the gas are forced through the elongate tube thereby creating a gurgling sound.

Abstract: A light, portable, flexible vessel for bathing babies is disclosed, comprising a rigid but impact-absorbent frame adapted to be placed on and around the periphery of a conventional kitchen sink, and a removable, slip-on fabric pouch suspended therefrom and secured with a "Velcron"-type seal. The pouch is characterized by cut-offs on at least one corner and preferably is of double thickness, i.e. a sack which will easily slip over the frame.
