  • Patent number: 5429257
    Abstract: To assist a person having reduced manual dexterity in removing a twist closure from a container, the closure comprises a first tab extending upright from an upper surface of the closure to a height suitable to engage the forearm near a central portion of the ulna, and a second upright tab having the same height and being positioned on the upper surface to be on an opposite side of the forearm and longitudinally offset to allow the forearm to press against the tabs and provide an opening torque. A forearm of the person is positionable on the closure with the ulna of the forearm over the upper surface and the first and second tabs extending upright on opposite sides of the forearm, such that the closure can be opened by putting weight using the forearm on the upper surface with the container on a fixed surface and turning the forearm within the first and second tabs. No forceful digital, manual or carpal movements are required to remove the closure.

  • Patent number: 5121612
    Abstract: For separating cooled and uncooled water in a refrigerated bottled drinking water cooler well, a floating receiving reservoir floats in the well and has an upper edge resting on or above a surface of water in the well, the reservoir having an open top surface and being supplied by uncooled water from a mouth of a drinking water bottle turned upside down and submerged in the reservoir. A conduit communicates the reservoir with a first water outlet as the floating reservoir moves up and down in the well. Drawing water from the first outlet causes a level of uncooled water in the reservoir to be lowered until air enters the mouth and water from the bottle is emitted into the receiving reservoir. Drawing water from a second outlet connected to the well causes a level of the surface of water in the well and thus of the uncooled water in the floating reservoir to drop until air enters the mouth and water overfills the receiving reservoir pouring over the upper edge into the well.
