CARTRIDGES, DISPENSERS, AND KITS FOR DISPENSING INSTRUMENT COVERS
A kit for dispensing disposable stethoscope covers and other instrument covers is provided. The kit may include a cartridge and a dispenser for automatic touch-free dispensing of disposable stethoscope covers. The kit further includes a first spool having a roll of backing member with disposable stethoscope covers disposed thereon and a second spool for receiving the spent backing member after a disposable stethoscope cover has been removed, self-contained within the cartridge. The cartridge is inserted within the dispenser so that a user may insert a stethoscope head through a window of the dispenser to attach to a disposable stethoscope cover. Alternatively, the cartridge or cassette may be comprised of disposable instrument covers so that a user may insert the instrument near or through the window of the dispenser for application of the instrument cover directly to the instrument. The kit may further include a proximity sensor for detecting a user.
APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING WRAPPING OF ARTICLES WITH WRAPPING MATERIALS
An apparatus and a system for facilitating the wrapping of articles with wrapping materials is described. In one example, the system includes two or more apparatuses adapted to be secured in adjacent spaced relation to one another on a planar surface so as to support a roll of wrapping material above the planar surface so as to freely rotate between a pair of apparatuses. Each apparatus includes a clamp assembly adapted to be actuated by a user to removably attach its corresponding apparatus to a ledge of the planar surface so that the supported roll is parallel to and above the planar surface.
LEASH ATTACHED ANIMAL WASTE DISPOSAL UNIT WITH FLASHLIGHT
A pet waste collection system includes a first component and a second component detachably connected to each other. The first component has a first inner area to hold a roll of dog waste bags that is formed from a solid outer cylindrical wall and a solid bottom. A first flap encloses a top portion of the first inner area and has an aperture retrieving a dog waste bag. A pushbutton latch secures and releases the first flap. A hook attaches the first component to a dog leash. The second component has a second inner area for holding a filled dog waste bag and is formed from an outer cylindrical wall including a plurality of perforations and a solid bottom. A second flap encloses a top portion the second inner area. A pushbutton latch secures and releases the second flap. A hook attaches the second component to a dog leash.
Core for wrap dispenser and method of its use
A film roll compatible with a wrap dispenser comprising a core with a first end with a notch, a second end with a notch, an outer surface and a lumen, a stretch film wrapped around the core, a wrap dispenser comprising a first frame member and a second frame member, a handle connecting the first frame member to the second frame member, a first roller operationally associated with a second roller with each being connected to the first frame member and the second frame member, an upper boss secured to the first frame member with one or more lugs emanating out of the upper boss, a boss handle operationally associated with the upper boss allowing for the raising and lowering of the upper boss, and a lower boss secured to the second frame member with one or more lugs emanating out of the lower boss.
Automatic tape setting apparatus
A component package tape is transported to a pitch feed mechanism section by a tape transport device and is held in a first tape holding section by a tape holding releasing device. Furthermore, a top tape adhered to a carrier tape that is transported to the pitch feed mechanism section is peeled from the carrier tape by a top tape peeling section while being clamped at a leading end section, is transferred to a top tape delivery mechanism section, and is held in a second tape holding section by the tape holding releasing device.
Automatic Hand Free Toilet Paper Dispenser
The Automatic Hand-Free Toilet Paper Dispenser will automatic dispense a small amount of toilet paper as the person wave their hand across the electrical sensor. Along with the electric sensor there is a digital display readout that will show the number of sheet being dispense. Once the dispenser run out of sheets there will several flashes on the digital display to let you know that it's time replace the rolls of tissue paper.
Streamer Dispenser
A streamer dispenser for dispensing crepe paper includes a housing. The housing has a front, a back and a sidewall extending from the back to the front defining an internal space. The front is open. A divider is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the internal space, defining a pair of compartments. A pair of slots is positioned through the sidewall of the housing. Each slot extends to a respective compartment. The compartments are positioned in the housing such that each compartment is configured for insertion of a respective roll of crepe paper. The slots are positioned in the housing such that each slot is configured for insertion of a free end of the respective roll of crepe paper. The free ends are positioned outside of the housing, such that the crepe paper is dispensable from the housing.
NON-CYLINDRICAL ADHESIVE ROLLER ASSEMBLY
An adhesive roller assembly is provided having a non-cylindrical roller. The non-cylindrical roller is rotatably affixed to a handle's distal end. In addition, adhesive tape is helically wrapped about the roller, and the adhesive tape includes perforations so as to facilitate the breaking of the adhesive tape into individual segments. Because the roller has a non-cylindrical circumferential surface, the adhesive tape is deformed to have a non-cylindrical exterior. The roller, and consequentially exterior of the adhesive tape, can take various forms. In preferred embodiments, the roller and tape exterior have a concave, convex, undulating, dimpled or bumpy surface. The adhesive tape is made of material providing increased elongation.
Anti misuse system
An anti-misuse system for a sheet dispenser having a roll of sheet material and a housing to receive the roll. The anti-misuse system includes an end portion of a roll incorporating a first projection and a corresponding end wall portion of the housing comprising a retracting portion incorporating an interacting mechanism. The retracting portion is movable between a deployed position in which the interacting mechanism affects the functionality of the sheet dispenser and a retracted position in which the interacting mechanism enables the sheet dispenser to be functional. The retracting portion further incorporates an abutment drivable by the projection upon insertion of the roll into the housing to move the retracting portion into the retracted position.
STETHOSCOPE COVERS AND DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR STETHOSCOPE COVERS
A dispensing system is provided including a housing having a cavity, a first opening and a second opening, the openings being in communication with the cavity. First and second rollers are positioned within the cavity. A strip extends through the openings. The strip has a first end that is wound about the first roller and a second end that is wound about the second roller. A plurality of instrument covers are removably positioned on the strip. Methods of use and kits are disclosed.
