Abstract: A magnification device for assisting people to read the small print on medicine vials/bottles. The device including a magnifying lens having the ability to move towards or away from the indicia on the bottle to further aid the user to focus per their particular level of eyesight. A pair of rods are coaxial disposed within a corresponding pair of channels to enable the lens to be focused by pushing or pulling the lens. The present invention is designed to be used with virtually all manufactured bottle caps. The device can either be permanently affixed to the bottle cap, and thereby be disposable with the cap; or it can be removably connected and therefore be reusable.

Abstract: A lightweight and inexpensive mask providing protection to the nose and eyes of dental patients from contaminants that are present in the dental office. The Mask having a nose portion having an elasticized cord transversing across the philtrum area of a patient thereby causing the mask to adopt a triangular shape about the nose. The nose portion being caused to create a natural ventilation along the nasolabial groove areas of the patient. The mask further including a pair of transparent eye panels and means for affixing the mask on the patient's face.

Abstract: A dental mirror having a planar surface encircled by a beveled perimeter. The mirror rotatively mounted upon a spherical support ball, whereby the dentist can continually maintain the correct angle of incidence to capture and reflect light beams from a light source. The planar surface continually being capable of pivoting in relationship to the pressure by the dentist to provide the smallest angle of incidence of reflecting light beams, which is vital to securing the greatest amount of illumination to the surgical area and also in avoiding unwanted distortion of any images in the work area.

Abstract: A pull-top lid for a pressurized tennis ball container having a rubber safety shield for protecting against injury from the sharp pressing seam edge of the removed lid.

Abstract: A disposable dental contra-angle comprising a plastic housing having a sleeve, a tapered neck, a head and a disposable bur. The bur being removably coupled to a driven rotating mandrel located in the head section. The rotating mandrel having an integral axis pole member extending through and outwardly from its top and bottom portions wherein the bur is maintained in a 1:1 rotational luted connection, with virtually no slippage. The sleeve section having an elongated opening for receiving a power drive from a dental handpiece. A gear ratio mechanism located in the sleeve section rather than the head section, for either increasing or decreasing the shaft speed. A gear to gear arrangement in the head section for translating rotation from the drive shaft to the bur.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a semi-removable nasal air cleaning system comprising of a surgically implanted portion including three sleeves implanted into the movable septum, a pair of stabilizer plates to distribute the stresses, and a septum stud deposed within the septum to support and orient the filter mediums. The septum supports a filtration means comprising of a connection component and a filter adapter component. The filters are easily retrievable when removal is necessary for cleaning or replacement.

Abstract: A smoke and odor purifying system which can be incorporated within a housing that can serve both as a table centerpiece and an ashtray. The system having an esthetically pleasing flower vase construction with petal shaped appendages for resting of cigarettes or the like. A floral arrangement is made up of individual artificial flowers. Each flower having an opening in the bud for drawing in smoke-filled air and passing it through the system. Also defined within the petals of the housing are a plurality of intake openings through which cigarette smoke, as well as secondary smoke from the surrounding area may be drawn downwardly through the device. An electrically or battery powered fan means, positioned below a filtration and odor-treatment system, drives the smoke through the system which includes an electrostatic prefiltering bed followed by an activated charcoal bed, an H.E.P.A. filter and finally another activated charcoal bed containing an air freshening material.

Abstract: A golf tee having a central stem supporting three fan shaped flutes which extend vertically upwards and have extremities of point shaped vertices for holding a golf ball. The vertices having minimum contact area with the ball in order to avoid unnecessary frictional interference between ball and tee. The vertices are located high above the central stem creating an open area under the ball whereby air can flow through without prematurely imparting any motion to the ball. The flutes have notched edges to enable the golfer to be able to feel how deep the tee is being inserted into the ground.

Abstract: A disposable right angle dental handpiece comprising a plastic housing having a sleeve, a tapered neck, a head and a disposable prophy cup. The cup being removably coupled to a driven rotating member located in the head section for simultaneously cleansing the surface of the teeth as well as the surrounding tissue and gingival crevice. The sleeve having an elongated opening for receiving a power drive from a dental unit. A gear ratio mechanism located in the sleeve, rather than in the head section, for increasing the shaft speed by a factor of two to three times. A gear to gear arrangement in the head section for transferring the directional rotation from the drive shaft to the prophy cup. The prophy cup comprising a flexible body having a cavity therein with a plurality of concentric rings made of cloth or felt material for holding the cleansing paste and also to avoid splattering.

Abstract: A toothbrush which will alleviate stress through an angulated handle portion that has a series of coils located at its distal end. The distal end being connected to a mandolin shaped brush head which includes a center core material which acts to urge the bristles into a 45 degree angle of brushing. The head can be removed for cleaning or replacement by a screw shank connector. The screw shank connector includes a dominant component and an inferior component which will enable the user to be able to position the brush head at the desired working angle. The opposite end of the handle has grip which includes, a 360 degree serrated thumb rest on one end and a 360 degree hand stop at the other end.

Abstract: An improved system for attaching suction cup devices to bathroom or shower walls. The system includes attachments including brushes, sponges, cloths, massaging items etc., which are primarily used to aid people in achieving proper bathing hygiene. The suction cups are intended for use individually or in clusters of two or more and are designed for quick connection and removal to any vertical surface.

Abstract: A cigarette having a filter rod which extends longitudinlly and coaxially through the cigarette cord of tobacco. A plurality of filter tags and rings are disposed through the tobacco cord, the quantity of each varied to strengthen or weaken the level of filtration. The filter rod having a concentric air passage channel longitudinally deposed along its length to increase the supply of fresh air available to the smoker.

Abstract: A device comprising a filter and a rod which is capable of insertion into a cigarette cord that has a preformed conduit extending concentrically along the longitudinal axis of the cord. The rod having a plurality of perforations along its entire length, allowing for a fresh air supply to be sucked into the rod and then intermingled through the tobacco. The filter being available in various numbers of filtering ring elements which allow for a selection of filtering strength. The device is made of materials that would allow it to be reusable. As the cigarette cord burns down, the increased supply of fresh air will result in a reduction in the percentages of particulate matter (tars, nicotine,etc). By varying the number of filters, the taste will selectively be controlled by the user.
