The case is usable for any contact lens, but is adapted for an AODISC.RTM. catalyst used in SEPTICON.RTM. AND AOSEPT.RTM. systems for soft contact lenses.

Abstract: There is disclosed a garment wear monitor for recording the number of times an article of clothing is worn. The monitor is removably or permanently affixed to a clothing hanger, or is removably affixed to the garment directly. Each time the garment is worn the garment wear monitor is advanced by one number manually or automatically. The garment wear monitor may also display the date on which the garment was last cleaned. A threshold indicator serves to remind the user to have the garment cleaned when a predetermined number of wearings have taken place. The garment wear monitor may display the number of wearings and the date of last cleaning by a mechanically movable scale or by an electronic digital display.

Abstract: An infant bottle timer apparatus is set forth where an encircling indexed band is fixedly securable to an associated exterior surface of a baby bottle-type feeding implement. The timer apparatus includes a lowermost portion indexed consistent with the hours of the day and a pointer selectively manipulatable within an overlying integrally formed track for indication of a subsequent feeding timing event. The track includes a channel capturing a leaf spring. The leaf spring is secured to and cooperates with the pointer which is of a generally "H" shaped cross-sectional configuration. A first pair of legs of the "H" shaped pointer is ridable within the channel and frictionally securable within the channel in cooperation with the leaf spring. A further pair of legs of the "H" shaped pointer are oriented exteriorly of the channel for indication of a subsequent feeding event in cooperation with the indicator band.

Abstract: A label on which a grid-like pattern of detachable recording spaces is provided. The recording spaces are overprinted with a removeable coating formulated to provide a readily apparent visual contrast with the underlying coated substrate when the coating is removed. The recording spaces are designated to represent events, times of events, or both, by their association with identifying indicia on the label, and the occurrance or non-occurrance of the same is recorded by removing the coating from the appropriate spaces. Other labels incorporating security features are also taught. The label can be modified to meet specific recording needs by detaching and discarding appropriate recording spaces by tearing them from the label along provided perforated lines.

Abstract: At the handle of a bristle carrier or support of a toothbrush there is rotatably mounted disk-shaped indicator element. This indicator element contains a scale-like indicia or markings composed of data symbols, especially date symbols, which are distributed at an essentially equidistant spacing from one another about the circumference of the indicator element. Each data marking designates the month of a year. At the bristle carrier or support there is applied a second marking or indicia in the form of a mark which is located opposite the markings or indicia provided at the indicator element. By rotating the indicator element it is possible to align that data mark of the markings of the indicator element with the marker at the bristle carrier which is representative of the date when the toothbrush has started to be used or the contemplated date for possibly replacing such toothbrush. The indicator element can be subsequently arrested in its selected or set date indicating position.

The indicator cap and a bottom fill cap may be press fitted on the bottle housing for simple fabrication and refilling the contents.

Abstract: A timer and storage conditions indicator for indicating the passage of a predetermined length of time under predetermined ambient physical environmental conditions, in which a carrier mixture is contained in a relatively confined area above a base layer. An absorptive layer is disposed on the base layer and accepts the carrier mixture at a predetermined rate. A barrier means is disposed between the carrier mixture and the absorptive layer, and the removal of the barrier activates the timer. Transfer means such as a capillary tube or a second absorptive layer may be disposed between the carrier mixture and the first mentioned absorptive layer.

Abstract: An ageing indicator compares a closed sachet of one or more closed tubes of a material which is slightly permeable to a fluid contained in the sachet or tube. The rate of permeation of the fluid through the sachet-like assembly tube wall depends upon temperature and time of exposure to that temperature so the quantity of fluid loss is indicative of temperature and time; the ageing capable of then being detected either by measuring a column of the liquid in a tube or by observing the appearance or disappearance of printed indicia in the sachet.

Abstract: Disclosed is a way by which a person may keep track of consumption of pills, or dispensation of other articles. A box receptacle is used to store pill bottles, each marked with a different symbol. Designations of time periods at which pills are scheduled for consumption are marked on the sides of the box, spaced apart so that only one designation may be made principally visible by rotation of the box. Affixed to the sides of the box at the designations are tags corresponding with the symbols marked on the individual bottles, to indicate by type and number, if desired, the pills to be taken. After consuming the pills at a scheduled time the user rotates the box so that the next scheduled time is visible, thereby providing a later reminder if the user forgets if the pills were taken as scheduled.

Abstract: Easy opening article storing and dispensing containers and method in which puzzle-like locking means secure against access to the container contents by very young children by obscuring the mode of opening it. The cannular container shell has closable dispensing aperture means opening through the shell side wall.

Abstract: A reservoir for a pharmacologic delivery system wherein liquid level changes are readable visually to an accuracy of within five microliters. The reservoir is formed as a spirally coiled tubular member disposed between a pair of plate members spaced apart by one or more concentric rims. The tubular member forms a continuous spiral coil between the plate members, one tube end porting through one of the plates at the center thereof and the other tube end porting at the plate circumference. Transparent materials of construction are employed, as appropriate, and one of the plate members may have indicia thereon for assisting the viewer to measure volume changes inside the reservoir.

Abstract: A time-lapse indicator in which an electrically conducting, fluid-absorbent layer is initially separated from an activating fluid. When the indicator is activated the fluid flows into the absorbent layer, thereby changing the electrical conductivity of the absorbent layer. The fluid may be retained by a receptacle having a rupturable wall portion in a layer paralleling said absorbent layer and the rupturable wall portion may be a frangible layer between the liquid and the absorbent layer, which is broken when the indicator is activated. A time delay layer may also be included between the frangible layer and the absorbent layer to control the rate of flow of the liquid into the absorbent layer and thereby prolong the effective operation of the indicator following activation thereof.
