  • Publication number: 20110220131
    Abstract: A tobacco product is formed by perforated cigar or shell, the shell comprising a sheet of material with an intermediate sheet, the sheet comprising tobacco leaves and/or homogenized tobacco paper. The cigar or shell is packaged for shipment to an end user or consumer. The cigar or shell remains in the rolled, shaped tube form inside the package. After the cigar or shell is removed from the package, a consumer can fill the cigar or shell with crushed tobacco leaves or other tobacco filler material of a favorite blend, thereby eliminating some steps in the making of a “roll-your-own” tobacco product. A liquid can be added to the cigar or shell to moisturize same. The liquid can include flavoring.

  • Patent number: 7591388
    Abstract: A spill-resistant container having an open upper end that is maintained closed by a cover of flexible, elastic fabric, providing for quick, comfortable access to the containers contents. The cover is comprised of two overlapping pieces of elasticized fabric which may be easily pushed aside by a person's fingers reaching inside the container to access solid items therein. Once the person's hand is withdrawn from the opening, the two pieces of fabric snap shut, returning to their original overlapping positions and thereby closing the open end of the receptacle. Furthermore, the cover is detachably connected to the receptacle to permit cleaning and refilling of the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 5190412
    Abstract: A framing module for quickly assembling frames of rectangular towers suitable for supporting protective shields within excavations comprises a horizontal wale connected by hinge to a vertical leg and a locking brace to hold the hinged members in the right angle position. The wale has a tenon and set-back at each end. The hinged end of the leg is adjacent a set-back in the wale and that set-back becomes a mortise when the leg is set at right angle to the wale. The tenon of one module is inserted in the mortise of another module to interlock the modules. A rectangular frame is easily formed with at least four interlocked modules, and duplicate frames can be stacked to reach a desired tower height.
