  • Patent number: 9079682
    Abstract: The invention provides improved bakery boxes comprising removable plates and other tableware. Said removable tableware may comprise scored or perforated subpanels imparted in panels of a box, and alternatively, may comprise separately manufactured tableware reversibly attached to panels of a box. The invention further provides compound panels having expanded surface areas for accommodating greater quantities of removable subparts in diverse materials, shapes, and sizes. The invention emphasizes the placement of said removable tableware within superfluous panels that are not essential to the structural and functional integrity of the box, so therefore the food storage utility of the box is not necessarily destroyed when the tableware is removed, said superfluous panels comprising, for example, overlapping panels on the sides of a box or cellophane-reinforced panels in windowed boxes.

  • Patent number: 5746748
    Abstract: A circumcision instrument according to this invention comprises a pair of crossed members and a pivot pin fixed between the crossed members allowing for movement of the crossed members toward and away from each other about a common axis, wherein the crossed members further comprise a handle with a finger loop at the proximal end of the crossed members, a clamping tab extending from each finger loop, angular facets on the side of each clamping tab and a jaw at the distal end of the cross member with an upper surface providing a surface along which a cutting instrument may be moved to sever tissue clamped between the jaws wherein the lower surface of the jaws are partially cut away forming a clamping surface on the inner surface of the jaw wherein the jaws of the circumcision instrument close such that tissue is crushed without completely severing the tissue. The circumcision instrument of the present invention offers enhanced safety, simplicity, ease of use, cost effectiveness and reduced surgical time.
