Patent number: 11641983Abstract: A travel case for a bar of soap is provided. In various embodiments, the travel case permits accelerated drying of the bar of soap and prolongs the life of the soap. The travel case is designed to maintain the bar of soap in a fixed horizontal and vertical position during transport. The travel case includes a lid and a base with a walled receiving portion. The receiving portion is configured to receive a bar of soap that is attached to a soap support and hold the soap support such that the bar of soap is prevented from contacting the surface of the soap case. A method of reversibly securing a bar of soap within a soap case while maintaining the soap in a fixed horizontal and vertical position is also provided herein.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2019Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Inventors: James Gould, Sam Shifron

Patent number: 7565178Abstract: A portable wireless handset with enhanced acoustic functions is disclosed having a chamber gasket that has an opening sized to receive a speaker. When inserted into the opening, the speaker seals to the chamber gasket. The chamber gasket also seals to a support surface, so that a sealed acoustic chamber is created. The keypad has an opening in the user interface area for receiving a speaker, and a navigation input key may be positioned over the speaker. In this way, the speaker shares an area with the navigation key, and projects sounds through vents in the navigation key. With the speaker sealed to the keypad, and the keypad sealed to a printed circuit board, a sealed acoustic chamber is formed. Acoustic energy emitted from the back of the speaker is received into the sealed chamber, thereby improving the sound quality for sound projected from the front of the speaker.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2005Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Kyocera Wireless Corp.Inventors: Sidney Sitachitt, Sam Shifron, James D.

Patent number: 7541771Abstract: An exemplary battery pack comprises a battery cell having a first terminal and a second terminal disposed on a first end of the battery cell. A support member is attached to the first end of the battery cell, and a first L-shaped contact is connected to the first terminal via a protection circuit module. The protection circuit module is configured to disconnect the first terminal from the L-shaped contact upon a disconnect event. A second L-shaped contact connected to the second terminal, and a top cover encloses the first end of the battery cell, the support member and the protection circuit module. The first and second L-shaped contacts are exposed through corresponding apertures in the top cover, and a label including a body section and first, second, third and fourth flap sections is wrapped around the battery cell such that at least one of the flap sections secures the top cover to the battery cell.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2006Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Kyocera Wireless Corp.Inventors: Frederick A.
