Abstract: A lotion roller includes a handle assembly and a roller assembly. The handle assembly has a handle with a hollow interior forming a reservoir for receipt of lotion. A threaded shaft passes into the handle reservoir and has a plunger mounted thereon. Rotation of the shaft and movement of the plunger dispenses lotion from the reservoir into a fixed, integral inner perforated tube. The roller assembly has an outer perforated tube that is mounted on and for rotation about the inner perforated tube. A foam roller is glued to the outer perforated tube. The handle of the lotion roller may include a window for viewing the contents of the reservoir. The roller assembly may be stored in a one-piece clam-shell cover that folds over on itself and snaps shut. The lotion roller may have finger grips and a lanyard, have raised ribs, tapered for a better grip and covered with a thin silicone or rubber over-mold.

Abstract: An abdominal exercise device comprising a semi-rigid member, an upper member and a lower member is disclosed. The upper member and the lower member couple to the semi-rigid member, the upper member and lower member can be securely or detachably attachable to the semi-rigid member while the lower member can have pivoting capabilities. Feedback may be provided in a visual as well as a physical form to allow a user to determine whether the device is properly being used and optimal results are being achieved while performing the exercises.

Abstract: A microwave grilling appliance comprising grill elements that include heat conducting elements and microwave absorbent material. Troughs are formed in the periphery of the grill elements to contain the liquids produced from grilling a grillable food. A microwave transparent cover and base support the grill elements and provide a void space between the microwave transparent cover and base and the respective grill element. A lip and seal provide a liquid-tight seal between the grill elements and the supporting microwave transparent cover and base. The seal prevents liquids from grilling or washing from entering behind the grill elements. A hinge assembly provides multiple stop positions for the microwave transparent cover relative to the microwave transparent base.
