  • Publication number: 20060202092
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a stand for a cooler containing cooling solution. The cooler further includes an attached flexible tubing outlet for draining the cooling solution through the flexible tube outlet into a medical cuff for reducing swelling of injured tissue. The stand further comprises a cylindrical container having a bottom side, a lateral sidewall, a bottom sidewall. The lateral sidewall is further defined by an opened top edge and a bottom edge. The bottom sidewall is further defined by a top edge and a bottom edge. The bottom edge of the bottom sidewall is attached to the bottom side. The bottom edge of the lateral sidewall is attached to the top edge of the bottom sidewall, wherein a cavity is formed for receiving through the opened top end of the lateral sidewall the cooler. An elongated pedestal is further defined by a top end and a bottom end. The top end of the pedestal is attached underneath the bottom side of the container.

  • Publication number: 20060175171
    Abstract: A protective covering for a traveling bag comprising a housing having a cavity dimensioned to encompass the covered traveling bag is provided. The housing has substantially an equivalent shape to the covered traveling bag. The housing further comprises of an upper section, lower section, front section, back section, a first side section and opposite second side section. Each section can be a panel with a polygonal shape. A slot disposed within the upper panel such that it is aligned over the handle of the covered traveling bag and is dimensioned to hold the handle of the covered bag in a telescoped position. The lower panel further comprises at least one opening in the dimensioned to accommodate the bottom of the covered traveling bag. The protective covering further comprises inlet means for insertion and removal of the traveling bag into the cavity of the housing.

  • Patent number: 6350175
    Abstract: A flexible material having adhesive coated over a major portion of one side, which may then be adhered to a nipple or protrusion in a manner that allows the adhesive to directly contact the nipple (or protrusion) as well as the immediately surrounding areola and skin surface. The adhesion between the fabric and the skin, from the areas surrounding the nipple to the center of the nipple itself, creates a continuous, substantially flat (or, more particularly, a continuous curve that follows the natural curve of the surrounding tissue) profile. A preferred configuration for the device of the present invention is also provided, which reduces folding and buckling of the device as applied.
