  • Patent number: 12589176
    Abstract: A passive emission fragrance delivery mechanism/diffuser assembly which includes an outer tubular housing body that carries an inner movable piston and fragrance carrier/diffusion member for selectively dispensing a non-spray fragrant emission upon axial movement of the piston within the tubular housing. The fragrance diffusion member includes a scent-impregnated material which may be movable with the piston or stationery relative thereto within the outer body. The piston is longer than the outer tubular body, so as to always extend beyond the confines of the outer body through one of its open ends. The piston is constructed with an interference fit with the housing body so as to seal the fragrance carrier member therein when not in use.

  • Patent number: 12144328
    Abstract: A low-profile disk-shaped base member which is designed for placement on a ground surface or floor, where the base member includes an elevated central hub portion with an opening extending therethrough. A lower cap element is releasably connectable in sealed relation to the hub from the bottom of the base member to form a cavity or chamber below the central opening in the base member. The chamber houses a rotatable ball or spherically shaped liquid delivery mechanism within its confines which extends upwardly through the central opening in the base member. The chamber is adapted to store a liquid consumable product, such as a liquid supplement or treat, for controlled delivery to the pet as the pet licks the ball.

  • Publication number: 20120091411
    Abstract: A self-retracting hydraulic jack assembly is provided which includes a leg retraction compression spring carried by the piston rod assembly encased within the hydraulic extension cylinder of the jack. The hydraulic jack has first and second telescoping tubular leg members that are extensible relative to one another in response to the introduction of hydraulic fluid through the piston rod assembly and into the extension cylinder of the jack assembly. A third freely adjustable drop-leg telescopes into the other legs of the jack assembly through a cam actuated pull-pin casting mounted thereto.

  • Publication number: 20110289966
    Abstract: A finger ring is provided which includes a size-accommodating inner liner formed of a pliable, flexible and resilient material throughout and adhered to the inner diametrical surface of the ring. The liner includes a plurality of peripherally spaced flexible ribs extending inwardly therefrom to help facilitate ease of placement and removal of the ring from a person's finger, and to facilitate adjustment to and/or accommodation of variances in ring sizes. The outer substrate of the ring is formed with a liner retention shoulder to help retain the liner and resist shearing forces subjected thereto upon transition of the ring on and off the finger. The ring may be configured to permit simultaneous formation of aesthetically pleasing designs on the outer surface of the ring during the overmolding process utilized to form the inner liner therefor.

  • Publication number: 20040206721
    Abstract: A bottle cap formed throughout of a single piece of readily deformable, highly stretchable resilient material such as LSR; and comprised of a cap member having a cavity therein with a mouth and an interior surface adapted to receive the neck of a wine bottle therewithin and having a readily deformable resilient closing bead at its mouth for positively engaging the neck of the bottle and securing the cap member thereon. A pair of rings formed integrally with the cap member are carried by opposite exterior sides of the cap member and extend outwardly therefrom, one of said rings being of a larger interior diameter than the other and which is slightly less than the exterior diameter of the exterior lip found on most, if not all, wine bottles. The larger ring is connected to the outer edge of the cap member by a hinge panel which, in its free form, extends horizontally outwardly from the bead at the lower end of the cap and supports the ring and an upstanding stabilizer in the form of a flap.
