The invention comprises an assortment of apparatuses to magnetically tether a dental hygienist's hand to the utility tubes and hoses commonly found in a dental office. In a preferred embodiment, this consists of an adjustable silicone utility band containing a magnet which is worn by the hygienist. This tethers him or her to a utility hose or tube, which has a clasp that contains a reciprocal magnet. In other embodiments, the invention comprises rings or fingergrips which contain magnets that tether to the utility hose or tube via the magnetized clasp.

This application for patent discloses is a method of improving the grip on a striking apparatus, including the step of: providing a plurality of elastomer bands having a size suitable to fit snugly on the fingers, said elastomer bands being characterized in that: (a) they exhibit a first substantially linear force constant through an initial range of stretch and a second substantially linear force constant through a subsequent range of stretch; and (b) the first substantially linear force constant is less than the second substantially linear force constant.

A method for fabricating a fashion ring from a key is presented. The method includes supporting the key on first and second surfaces, forcing the key into a shaping aperture between the first and second surfaces with a round form, wrapping a first portion of the key around the round form with a first die, wrapping a second portion of the key around the round form with a second die, removing the wrapped key from the round form, and applying a finishing process to the wrapped key to form a fashion ring.

Disclosed is a holder for nail polish containers, including at least one ring portion configured to fit around a user's finger and having formed therein an opening slit, and at least one crown portion disposed above and interconnected with the ring portions. The crown has a cavity formed therein and an expandable opening configured to receive a nail polish container. The ring portions and the crown are portions of a unified body formed from a substantially pliable material.
