  • Publication number: 20140069969
    Abstract: A delivery system for delivering a powder, such as chalk. The chalk is retained within a permeable, porous container. The powder is dispersed to an object outside the container upon application of a force. The container includes a plurality of sidewalls. The powder is deliverable when an object applies the force to an outside surface of the sidewalls. The force comprises engaging an outer surface of the sidewalls with an impact, such as a slap. The force generates sufficient kinetic energy to at least partially enable the powder to pass from an inner surface to the outer surface through a permeable portion. The system is useful for quick access to the chalk with one hand. The system can also form a pocket on a garment, whereby applying the force is applied on the pocket for dispersal.

  • Patent number: 8511508
    Abstract: A case for eyeglasses or other articles includes a pair of catches with each catch mounted to an opposite side of the case near its upper end. Elongate, flexible latches are also mounted on opposite sides of the case in cooperative alignment with the respective catches. Each latch includes a base secured to the case and a pocket-gripping member at its distal free end. Each latch is inherently biased outwardly from the case so that the pocket-gripping members engage opposite sides of a shirt or blouse pocket interior when the invention is in use, preventing the case from falling from the pocket when a user bends over. The latches are manually squeezed when in their deployed configuration to place them into their stored, catch-engaging configuration. The latches are manually removed from the catches to deploy them into their pocket-engaging configuration.

    Abstract: A removable bottle carrying attachment for a human user's trousers retains a beverage bottle adjacent an exterior surface of a small coin or watch pocket's opening. The tightly confined space within the almost inaccessible pocket defines a retaining sleeve which secures the planar structural integrity of the carrier's thin substrate as it slides vertically and limitedly upwards to sufficiently expose its bottle gripping aperture to surround a bottle's cap stop rim. A preferred embodiment's planar, elongate, flexible polymer substrate body parallels an elongate slot located centeredly near one distal end, and with a bottle gripping aperture located near an uppermost and opposite end. A preferred means for fastening the carrier to an interior area of the pocket is a cloth piercing two part dungaree button which extends through the pocket's exterior cloth and the elongate slot to allow application by a user.

    Abstract: A wallet tether is removable from a wallet or the like to which it is secured, to provide for use of the wallet in more formal situations where such a tether would be unsightly. The tether includes an openable loop which is securable about a belt, belt loop, or other appropriate structure of the apparel of the user, and an eyelet which is secured to the wallet by a threaded fastener which is passed through a hole in the wallet periphery. Thus, the wallet may be opened and the contents accessed without need to remove the tether from the wallet. An elongate, flexible cord extends between the apparel attachment loop and the wallet attachment eyelet. The cord may be non-metallic, in order to reduce to a minimum the amount of metal in the device to preclude requirement for removal for passage through metal detectors. Preferably, the cord ends are secured to the openable loop and to the wallet attachment eyelet with crimp connections, for strength, durability, and economy of manufacture.
