Ecofriendly Diaper System
20170367908 · 2017-12-28 ·

The present invention relates to an ecofriendly diaper system for children and adults. The core components that together make up the architecture of the system are: water-soluble diaper bag, washable diaper, optional moisture-resistant container and a heat-sealing element. Generally speaking, these components are structured such that the water-soluble diaper bags are stored in the moisture-resistant container, and dispensed when needed; a soiled washable diaper is placed in the water-soluble bag and sealed by a knot or by the heat-sealing element. The sealed water-soluble diaper bag containing the soiled diaper is stored. At the desired time, the stored water-soluble diaper bags are washed using a conventional household washer/dryer. The washed diapers are subsequently dried and stored at home. The water-soluble diaper bag is preferably made with polyvinyl alcohol film, where the film is optionally soluble at a temperature higher than the normal human body temperature, and made with an opaque color. The washable diaper is a conventional cloth diaper, and optionally externally coated with a thin film of moisture-proof material.

Bottle cap spinning device
09839858 · 2017-12-12 ·

A bottle cap spinning device and method of operation provides: a spinning toy for entertainment; a container for containing a liquid, a candy, or a medicine; and an edible component for consumption. A bottle contains a liquid. A bottle cap caps the bottle while containing the candy and medicine. The bottle separates into a proximal cylinder, a distal cylinder, and a hub that positions between the cylinders. An edible member encapsulates the hub. A cord extends between the cylinders and carries the hub. Twisting the cord in a first direction generates torque, causing the hub to be rotatably carried towards the proximal cylinder. Twisting the cord in a second direction releases momentum from the torque, rotatably carrying the hub towards the distal cylinder. The cord is manipulated by rotating the cylinders. Drawing the cord taut or slackening the cord increases and decreases the angular and linear velocity of the hub.

DECORATIVE HELMET
20170347734 · 2017-12-07 ·

A decorative headgear simulating the appearance of a racing helmet is disclosed. It is in the form of a sheet of thin flexible material. The sheet is shaped and configured with a back panel (BP), a right panel (RP), a left panel (LP), a top panel (TP), a front panel (FP), and a chin cover (CC), all of which are adapted for inter-connection to form the helmet. The sheet has several pre-made lines in the sheet forming in whole or in part the headgear removable from the sheet, and wherein the sheet of thin flexible material has several pre-made fold lines in the sheet, said fold lines oriented to form said sheet into a container to hold other articles.

System and Method for Making a Fluid Container with Integrated and Locking Measuring Tape
20170284782 · 2017-10-05 · ·

The invention is a fluid container, such as a flask or canteen, positioned in previously unused spaces found in the housing of a measuring tape mechanism. The present invention possesses a fluid container or vessel place inside the external housing of a measuring tape component (with an opening and cap), which simultaneously encloses an internal integrated spooled measuring tape with spring-loaded retracting measuring tape with a locking mechanism. The present invention allows for the simultaneous placement of a fluid container inside previously unused space in a measuring tape housing to store fluids in an efficient and effective manner without requiring two separate vessels or components, to allow for a more efficient and effective incorporation of a useful fluid vessel in previously unused space in a measuring tape mechanism to provide storage of hydration or medicinal fluids in a more efficient and effective manner on construction or work sites.
