Abstract: An insulating beverage-can holder including: a can-receiving cup; a primary lid that is secured to the upper edge of the cup and has (a) a main portion defining a drinking hole aligned with the can opening, (b) a disk of resiliently-deformable material on the underside of the main portion to form a seal about the can opening and having an aperture aligned with the drinking hole, and (c) a circumferential rim disposed to form a seal around the edge of the cup; and a secondary lid which is hinged to the primary lid at opposite sides of the main portion and is movable between a first position exposing the drinking hole and a second position closing the drinking hole and covering an area of the primary lid.

Abstract: A fishing lure including a head portion and a plurality of flow-through appendage cavity portions which are removably secured to the head portion, each cavity portion including an open front end, a closed tail end, and a substantially rigid sidewall between the front and tail ends, the sidewall having a plurality of sidewall openings disposed to permit flow-through of fluid while preventing pass-through of solids dimensioned greater than the widest sidewall opening.

Abstract: A fishing lure including a head portion and a flow-through appendage cavity portion, the head portion including two first securement surfaces and the cavity portion being securable to the head portion, the cavity portion including a pair of cavity-forming cage members, each cage member including a head-portion-abutting edge, a tail end and a second securement surface engageable with one of the first securement surfaces, at least one of the cage members including openings disposed to permit flow-through of fluid while preventing pass-through of fish-attracting pieces bigger than the openings, the cavity portion further including a hinge or other connector such that the cage members are movable between together and apart positions.

Abstract: Candles are provided for dispensing air treatment chemicals in response to heat. There is a lid bearing the air treatment chemical. The candle includes a housing with a combustible fuel. An upper lid includes a cover plate bearing the air treatment chemical and an opening centrally disposed in the plate to allow heated air to pass through when the fuel is being combusted. The plate is suspended across an upper end of a side wall of the housing creating an air gap adjacent the radial periphery of the lid. When the fuel is combusted the air treatment chemical can be heated thereby and carried away by heated air that has passed through the central opening, and the air gap can permit cooler air to enter the cavity while the fuel is being combusted.

Abstract: Disclosed are actuator over caps suitable for use with aerosol containers. The caps are provided with flip-down lids that can move from a first position that blocks the outlet to prevent product drool between uses, to a second position that does not block dispensing. A push button is linked by a living hinge to a top wall of the cap. Downward pressure on the button can drive the lid away from its blocking position to facilitate opening the outlet of the cap.

Abstract: A device for spraying pesticides and/or agricultural treatment chemicals has a housing configured to retain a spray canister, an actuator rod on the housing configured to contact an overcap attached to the canister, a shaft connected to the housing, and a linkage to reverse a triggering force so that the actuator pushes against the overcap. Attachments can be provided in front of the sprayer nozzle, such as a shroud to limit back spray, a rake to disturb soil prior to treatment, a tapered director to focus spray in corners, or a fan shaped outlet to provide a wide spray.
