  • Patent number: 7861329
    Abstract: The present invention provides a disposable drain filter comprising a central shaft having a first end region and second end region, and a plurality of snaring discs having a central opening to accommodate the shaft. The snaring discs having radially emanating fins that form a fin snaring disc, wherein each fin is defined by a flat upper wall and a pair of side wall surfaces that meet at a single point, the flat upper wall having a plurality of upwardly projecting protrusions placed at the junction of the upper wall and side walls, to further grip materials. The fin has a narrow first end region affixed to the hollow tube, and a wide second end region. The second end regions of adjacent fins are separated by a 0.25 inch gap. A barb snaring disc is placed sequentially after each fin snaring disc, thereby forming an alternating sequence of snaring discs, wherein the barb snaring discs have radially emanating bristle extensions with barbs to further grip materials.

  • Patent number: 7730560
    Abstract: The present invention provides an odorless toilet comprising an adapter ring compressed between a toilet horn and a sewer pipe flange and having a hollow core, an adapter inlet and an exhaust vent; a seat having at least one intake port, a gas cavity and a gas cavity exhaust port; a fan having a fan inlet and a fan exhaust, the fan inlet connected to the gas cavity exhaust port and the fan exhaust connected to the adapter inlet, wherein when the fan is operating, a negative pressure develops in the seat gas cavity, and the odor is pulled into the seat gas cavity through at least one intake port and exhausted from the gas cavity exhaust port to the adapter inlet and then channeled into a sewer pipe through the exhaust vent, wherein the exhaust vent of the adapter ring extends below the sewer pipe flange, wherein the adapter ring has an opening through the center to allow unobstructed passage of waste matter from the toilet horn to a sewer pipe when the toilet is flushed.

  • Publication number: 20080217347
    Abstract: The present invention provides a protective beverage cover for use in combination with a beverage can having a rim wall, a top wall, an unpunctured score-line defining an opening, a recessed base surrounding the unpunctured score-line, an annular groove formed by the junction of the rim wall and the top wall, and a ring pull tab. The protective cover comprises an overhanging lip which extends downward into the groove to allow rotation of the cover along the top wall and which permits covering of the area of the top wall which directly or indirectly engages a consumer's mouth during drinking of the beverage contents. A protrusion is formed by the upward extension of a central portion of the overhanging lip allows for rotation of the cover. A depression countered to sealably rest inside the recessed base surrounding the opening. The protective cover permits a second beverage container to be stacked on top of the first container by not interfering with the rim wall and by utilizing the annular groove.
