The container is fitted with a cap such as a screw-on or snap-on type to cover and seal the mouth or opening. The cap is configured with a sidewall extending beyond the top sealing portion of the cap thereby defining a peripheral rim for a cavity or an open void created therewith. Fitted over the cap and preferably at least the neck portion of the container is a protective overwrap, such as heat shrinkable thermoplastic band which extends beyond the cap sidewall. The engagement between the band and the cap and container is attained by shrinking the band in tight conformance around the cap and at least the neck portion of the container, with overwrap material extending past the cap sidewall, such extension providing a finger grip tab that may easily be pulled to remove the overwrap when initially opening the container. The extension of the cap sidewall prevents the overwrap material from securely adhering to the top portion of the cap which would make removal or peeling difficult. In this way, the tightly secured protective overwrap provides tamper resistance yet enables easy and convenient means for removal by the intended user.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 215/040</div></div>2010-01-01T00:00:00.000000119+00:002010-01-01T00:00:00.000000119+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:68741ABE-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20100219150A1 - Closure system for container i.e. bottle, has overwrap in tight conformance around cap and neck portion of container and extending beyond peripheral rim, where overwrap is made of heat shrinkable thermoplastic materialBell, Raymond CharlesMarotti, Martin JayVinseiro, Juan Carlos<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Fukui, Atsuko<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2008-11-19<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20110226139A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>An edible gelatinized material that fills a container is enabled to be extruded being crushed into grains each having a proper size such that a patient, a child, or an elderly person who has difficulty in swallowing a medicine, etc., using ordinary drinking water, etc., for administration of the medicine, etc., is enabled to easily execute the administration, by facilitating the swallowing of the medicine, etc., without causing such a person any difficulty, feeling of a foreign substance, etc. As a solution for the above, according to the present invention, a container A 1 provided with an extruding unit 20 to externally extrude an edible gelatinized material internally filling and accommodated is characterized in that crushing units 20e and 20e are provided in the vicinity of the extruding unit 20, that crush the edible gelatinized material extruded from the extruding unit 20 associated with the extruding operation of the extruding unit 20 into grains each having a size that enables easy swallowing of the grain.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 099/485</div></div>2011-01-01T00:00:00.000000125+00:002011-01-01T00:00:00.000000125+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:6886CBD2-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20110226139A1 - Packing container for accommodating edible gel used for assisting swallowing of medicine, has breaking sections that break medicine into particles of smaller size using edible gel squeezed out from extrusion sectionFukui, Atsuko<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Bredahl, Gunnar;Breitenstein, Jennifer;Eilert, Diana;Marinoni, Sarah;Ohlsson, Kristin;Zoller, Gunther<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2007-07-20;2008-07-14<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20110048994A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>A pack ( 1) for containing at least two hygiene products (100), in particular at least two uncompressed toilet paper rolls, kitchen paper rolls, household towel rolls, individual packs of handkerchiefs or other tissue paper products, the pack including a packaging (2) for containing the hygiene products; an opening section (3) in the packaging defining an opening for removing hygiene products; a handle (4) having a first section (40) attached to the opening section (3) and a second section (42) attached to the packaging (2) in an area outside the opening section (3).</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 206/391</div></div>2010-01-01T00:00:00.000000131+00:002010-01-01T00:00:00.000000131+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:68963518-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20110048994A1 - Pack for storing e.g. toilet paper roll, has handle having section that is attached to opening section and another section that is attached to packaging in area outside opening sectionBredahl, GunnarBreitenstein, JenniferEilert, DianaMarinoni, SarahOhlsson, KristinZoller, Gunther<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Arnold, William<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2004-06-11<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20080142400A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>A child resistant product dispenser includes a blister card having compartments for holding a product a housing, and a blister cover for use in covering the blister card compartments.

A specific and novel type of package representative of this class found to be particularly useful in facilitating this method is a small, flat, disposable, twin chambered, multi-dose, self-sealing polymer packet designed to be pocket carried by the user. Through simple and direct finger manipulation a measured dose of hand sanitizing fluid is drawn on to the hand in a controlled and wasteless manner from a metering chamber opened for dispersal through a tear in the packet wall. The self-sealing packet reserves and preserves the remaining fluid for future uses and permits the packet to be immediately returned to a pocket without any closure manipulation. Rubbing the hands to distribute the fluid achieves an effective degree of hand sanitation by substantially reducing the presence of hand-borne pathogens. Distribution of the packets is encouraged by the use of lottery and gaming techniques that heighten the opportunity of using a hand sanitizing fluid for proper hand hygiene.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 222/107</div></div>2003-01-01T00:00:00.000000165+00:002003-01-01T00:00:00.000000165+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:68F7EF1A-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20050006404A1 - Sanitation promoting method for user's hand, involves dispensing dose of sanitizing fluid from disposable pouch-form squeeze packet to user's hand by direct finger manipulation of packet, and sealing remaining fluidHarper, William Anthony<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Farrar, Peter Antony;Fraser, Anthony Henry Joseph<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2001-09-11;2002-09-11<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20040262189A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>A container ( 1) comprises a container body comprising first and second parts (3, 5) which may be brought together to close container and separated to open the container, and a retaining device ( 11) comprising a retaining member (13) and a release member (15), wherein the retaining member is securable in a retaining position in which it retains the first and second parts (3, 5) of the container body together and thereby contains the container closed, the retaining member (13) being manually disengageable from its retaining position by movement of the release member (15) with respect to the retaining member (13).

Whereas the lower portion of the straw is spirally shaped like a spring mechanism, the upper portion of the straw is straight and an accordion mechanism is located at a base of the upper portion to allow the consumer to bend the straw when sipping from the straw.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 220/705</div></div>2011-01-01T00:00:00.000000176+00:002011-01-01T00:00:00.000000176+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:6910BC5C-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20110108560A1 - Aiding system for user in drinking from container has orifice which is created in top planar section of container directly above collar and allows top end of straw to extend through collar and out of containerRavelo, Raul<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Berg, Gunnar<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2008-04-07;2009-03-30<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20110084084A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>A device by a drinking cup ( 1) comprising a container (2) and a valve element (4), the valve element (4) being provided with, on at least a portion of its free edge portion (12), an abutment (14) for a sealing, actuable gasket (8), and wherein a user's lip is resting against the gasket (8) when the drinking cup (1) is in its operating position.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 220/703</div></div>2010-01-01T00:00:00.000000177+00:002010-01-01T00:00:00.000000177+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:6912A4E0-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20110084084A1 - Drinking cup e.g. glass, device for use by e.g. young children, has valve element provided with splash guard, where free edge portion of valve element is provided with abutment for sealing actuable gasketBerg, Gunnar<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Besoin, Gilles;Brand, Julien;Julia, Xavier;Painchaud, Gaetan<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2008-03-27;2009-03-27<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20110062186A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>A fluid dispenser device including a pump for dispensing the fluid; a first arm referred to as the “main” arm, mounted to pivot on the device about an axis referred to as the “main” axis, which arm has a press zone on which the user exerts pressure in order to actuate the pump; and a second arm, referred to as the “intermediate” arm, mounted to pivot on the main arm about an axis, referred to as the “intermediate” axis, this axis being disposed on the main arm between the press zone and the main axis, and the intermediate arm being configured to transmit the movement of the press zone to the pump.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 222/15304;222/183;222/384</div></div>2010-01-01T00:00:00.000000178+00:002010-01-01T00:00:00.000000178+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:6914D7F6-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20110062186A1 - Fluid dispensing device for e.g. nasal application, has intermediate arm mounted with respect to intermediate axle and transmitting movement of support zone to pump, where axle is placed on main arm between support zone and main axleBesoin, GillesBrand, JulienJulia, XavierPainchaud, Gaetan<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Rush, Raphael<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2009-05-01<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20110062172A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>The present invention relates to a handle replacement apparatus, for guiding motion of a receptacle using an arm or forearm in place of a hand, without need for a handle.

What I really needed was something abrasive that would fit the shape of the palm of my hand. Sanding gloves but there wasn't any. So I tried making some out of a kitchen cleaning glove with stick on sand paper, its was to hot and the sand paper lacked flexibility and would not stay on. So I tried a nit cotton/polyester glove with a layer of silicon and fine sanding grit, similar to what you would use in a sandblaster, imbedded in it and this worked much better. It breathed and was flexible. I could find the glove in all sizes also. I found that the area from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my index finger was really good for sanding circular or round things such as the gourd neck or table legs. I also found that putting the same things on out on the bottoms of the finger area was quite useful for small areas or groves. My father who has always worked on old cars thought it worked pretty good for that also. Some times though he found he needed a heavier grit, this prompted the fine medium and course. The application for the glove was really a wide area. After finding that the sanding glove worked I needed to patent this.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 150/154</div></div>2005-01-01T00:00:00.000000225+00:002005-01-01T00:00:00.000000225+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:698F5A1C-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20060207698A1 - Protective cover e.g for briefcases, has perforated pop out opening on its top for receiving handle of object to be protected and has side openings for strap attachmentAdams, Deborah<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Wilkinson, William<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2005-02-01<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20060169716A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>An improved toothpaste dispenser is disclosed that has an oblong dispensing aperture that dispenses a length of tooth-paste equal to the length of the toothbrush bristles in a single squeeze without moving the toothpaste dispenser along the brush.

Hereafter references to both will be referred to as organizers. There are many configurations and sizes of pill organizers, with the 7 day type the most common. They all have the same problems. The lids can be difficult to open, particularly for people who have weak hands or do not want to break their finger nails. There is no good way to hold the doors open, other than bending them so far back that the hinges fail in a short time. There is no good, sanitary way of counting the pills into the compartments. Currently, the only way to put the correct number of pills into the compartments is by use of the traditional pharmacist's counting device. This requires a steady hand, a good eye, and a substantial outlay of cash. This system also requires a large amount of storage space. When errors are made, there is no easy way to pull the one pill out of the compartment. These problems result in people not using the organizers. When the organizers are not used, there is no way for the user, who is trying to stay out of the nursing home, to know for sure if he did take the pills. There is no way for the one parent to know if the other parent gave the child his pills. There is no way for caretakers to know if the elderly or handicapped person is taking the pills as prescribed. There is no empty compartment to convince a doctor that the pills were taken. It is very common for one adult to be taking care of the pills for their mate. When the one taking care of the pills has a health emergency, such as a heart attack, it can be very difficult for friends and relatives to determine what pills, and when they should be taken, by the spouse. App. 10% of hospital admissions are the result of noncompliance with prescriptions written by doctors, with the average stay being 4 days. The Reminder Reloader makes it easy to use the organizers. This makes it much more likely that the organizers will be used. The Reminder Reloader can be used to open a single lid of the organizer by simply putting the end under the lid to be opened and over a neighboring lid. A simple twist opens the desired lid. The reloading (refilling) of the organizer is equally simple. It can be done with one hand. You put the Reloader on the table. You put the organizer into the left hand side of the Reloader. You push the organizer into the Reloader, left to right. The lids snap open and are kept open. Pills are poured into the Reloader.

It is designed for the purpose of clearing a six foot wide path of leaves from driveways, walkways or lawns by simply pushing the assembled unit (leaf blower and attachment) straight ahead with not much more effort than pushing a grocery shopping cart. This is accomplished by connecting nearly any make/brand/model of available market leaf blowers to my invention by either inserting the blower discharge tube directly into the attachment, or by means of utilizing a specific manufacturer's adapter fitting, if necessary. Because the attachment carries the entire weight of the blower head, it can be used efficiently, safely and easily by both the very young (as tested by an eight year old boy) and the elderly (as tested by an 81 year old woman). It eliminates both the need to swing a leaf blower from side to side, or carry the weight of a leaf blower. In the event someone who is handicapped has the desire to be self-sufficient and would like to clear leaves by themselves, my invention provides a motorized version which can be powered by two 6-12 volt variable speed/reversible electric motors controlled by using a dual radio controller.

The weight therefore is not a hanging weight as would be the case of a door on its hinges. When the wheeled cargo container is retracted to the out position it stops directly above the tailgate. This allows a person to load cargo without the need to bend over to reach into the bed of pickup or other similar vehicle. When the wheeled cargo container is retracted into the bed of a vehicle it is kept in place by a bumper that rests against the inside of the tailgate of the vehicle.

An electrically conductive layer is then formed over the top surface of the substrate, on the visible surfaces of each of the packaged components and on the electrically conductive lands contained thereon. The electrically conductive layer is then patterned using standard photolithographic techniques known in the semiconductor and printed circuit processing arts to form an electrical interconnect which connects the packaged components into a desired electrical circuit. The resulting structure thus is low cost yielding either packaged single integrated circuit structures or multi-package structures which either form an electronic system or which are capable of being electrically interconnected with other such structures to form an entire electronic system.</div><div class="pat_foot"><b>IPC Classes:</b> 257/692;257/700;257/778;257/782;257/786;257/E23178;257/E25023;257/E29022;438/108;438/612;438/618</div></div>2002-01-01T00:00:00.000000372+00:002002-01-01T00:00:00.000000372+00:00tag:intellar.com,2012:6B918182-5930-11E2-A25F-101C2EA91F41US20030057544A1 - Substrate for semiconductor device multichip module, has cavity formed on substrate for locating electronic component without conductive leads or ballsNathan, Richard JShepherd, William H<div class="pat_entry"><div class="pat_head"><b>Assignee/Affiliation:</b> <br/><b>Inventor/Author:</b> Chan, Frank;Chan, Tyson<br/><b>Priority Date:</b> 2004-06-21<br/><b>Application Date:</b> <br/><b>Publication Date:</b> <br/></div><div class="pat_main"><img src="timthumb.php?src=thomson_pic:US20050280554A1:180" border="0" width="180"/><br/>Safety Arrow Tool for Pedestrian is an easy to use and yet powerful to increase the awareness to the incoming drivers from the street when their vehicles approach to the intersection and quickly identify the object--Safety Arrow Tool when it is flashing and the person who would like to cross the street also benefits to get to the attention prior to cross the street safely.
