  • Patent number: 11583070
    Abstract: Described is a multi-purpose instrument and music stand. The instrument and music stand includes a base assembly having a plurality of legs. A rod projects up from the base assembly. At least one attachment tang with a pair of side recesses is pivotally attached with the rod. A tang receptor is included that selectively attaches with the attachment tang. The tang receptor is formed with a button and geared detent parts. Depressing the button causes the pair of geared detent parts to simultaneously retract from the pair of side recesses of the attachment tang, thereby allowing a user to selectively attach and detach a music holder or other item from the tang and stand.

  • Publication number: 20220072487
    Abstract: Described is an apparatus for preparing baby formula using a liquid concentrate solution. The apparatus includes a housing with a cavity for receiving and holding a container liquid concentrate solution. A motor is attached with the housing for forcing liquid concentrate solution from the container and into a mixing chamber. A pump and a water tank are also included. A spray head is attached with the housing. The spray head includes a plurality of spray jets in fluid connection with the pump for receiving water from the water tank and dispensing water from the spray jets into the mixing chamber. Finally, the mixing chamber receives the liquid concentrate solution and water, such that when the water and the liquid concentrate solution are introduced into the mixing chamber, the water and liquid concentrate solution mix into a baby formula and are dispensed from an outlet in the mixing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20060017658
    Abstract: An illuminated sign includes a plurality of sections. Each section includes a mesh of conductors having illuminating pixels located at conductor intersections. The mesh is surrounded by a frame connected to the frame of another section. Once frame sections of the display are unfolded, the display can be supported by a structure attached to a car or other vehicle. A support structure for an illuminated display includes a base which is placed on the ground and over which the tire of a vehicle (e.g., a police car) is parked. A column extends from the base, and a display can be attached to the top of that extending column. The support structure can take the form of a collapsible stand having a trunk which is pivotally attached to a base and which contains a telescoping section.
