Abstract:
A coffee caddy for storing and organizing a plurality of coffee-serving supplies such as sugar packets, creamers, sweet and low, cups, stirring sticks, small sized napkins, and the like. The preferred embodiment of the coffee caddy has a base and a tray rotatably mounted thereupon. The tray has a planar bottom, an outer peripheral wall, and an inner pillar extending outwardly from the center of the tray. The pillar has a frusto-conically shaped upper portion so as to removably and inversely stack multiple cups thereupon. The tray further has a plurality of fan-shaped open compartments concentrically defined around the pillar for organizing and removably storing the coffee-serving supplies, and at least one of the compartments is sized and configured to store a plurality of coffee filters. The coffee caddy may further have advertising material disposed on any visible outer surface thereof.
Abstract:
A magnetic pill dispenser consisting of a plurality of modular pill cases configured to be magnetically attachable to one another to form an arbitrary array tailored to a user's schedule of administrating medications, or to an external ferromagnetic surface, such as a refrigerator door. Each pill case has two substantially planar parallell walls and a plurality of boundary walls one of which is openable. In the preferred embodiment, two strips of permanent magnet and ferromagnetic material configured to mateably engage each other are formed respectively on the two parallel walls so that any two cases can be magnetically connected thereby. Similar magnetic strips may be formed on one or two boundary walls for further magnetic attachment to a ferromagnetic external surface or other pill cases. On the openable wall of each case, a day-of-the-week indicator and a time-of-day indicator are imprinted for facilitating orderly, scheduled administration of medication.
Abstract:
A slidable spring-biased grip assembly connectible to a handheld writing implement for reducing pressing force applied to an external surface during writing for protection thereof. The grip assembly includes an elongated assembly body, a tip connected to an end thereof, a gripping member configured to be axially slidable thereon, and a tension member resiliently and mechanically communicating between the tip and the gripping member, configured to resiliently bias, and slidably urge, the gripping member in a direction away from the tip. The assembly may further comprise a cushioned grip removably sleeved over gripping member and advertising material may be imprinted on an outer surface of the handheld implement.
