Abstract: An aerating bottle stopper comprises a stopper component and an aerator component, which is releasably attached to the bottom of the stopper component by at least one break-away connector. During the bottling of the beverage, the aerating bottle stopper is inserted into the neck of the bottle to seal it. In order to open the bottle, the stopper component is removed causing the break-away connector to separate, releasing the aerator component so that it remains in the neck of the bottle. Multiple flow channels pass through the aerator component. When the beverage is poured through the bottle neck, its flow through the flow channels becomes turbulent so as to cause air to mix with the beverage and aerate it.

Abstract: A protective cover for a cylindrically-shaped marine mooring bumper, such as a scrap tire, includes a band having a pair of opposing edges, and a circular panel connected at or near its circumference to one of the edges of the band. At least one—and preferably both—of the band and the panel include a marine-grade material.

Abstract: There are several shutter designs on the market today. The most popular types are louvered and paneled which we will use as examples discussed in this abstract. The objective of this invention is to outline a reversible shutter which is designed to have one style on one side and have a completely different style on the opposite side for example, side A might be louvered and side B might be paneled. The 2 main advantages of this invention are as follows: 1) Both the manufacturer and retailer will benefit from producing, warehousing and stocking fewer units without compromising availability. 2) The homeowner can now purchase a shutter that can be reversed for a completely different shutter look.

Abstract: A suction device which can be protected after use. The suction device includes an elongated suction tube having a suction tip at one end. A retractable, protective sheath is connected to the tube and extendable over the exposed length of the suction tube. A closure is secured to the free end of the sheath, and includes a cap which can be pivoted to a closed position. So as to avoid contamination, an automatic closer is provided to pivot the cap to the closed position.

Abstract: A suction oral care device with a head having opposite scrub elements. The scrub elements are dissimilar to one another, one of the scrub elements comprising bristles and the other comprising a foam pad. A suction port communicates with each scrub element, each suction port leading to a suction end of the device. A suction outlet, separate from the suction ports, also extends from the cleansing head. The suction ports and the suction outlet provide three separate locations for suctioning so that even if two become clogged, a third is available.
