20080245797 | Push/pop closure - A closure device and methods for manufacturing closure a device having a lid that is capable of alternating convex-to-concave movement and concave-to-convex movement. The lid may be mounted to a closure body, which may, for example, contain substances for attracting and exterminating pests, such as ants, other insects, snakes, and rodents. In other embodiments, the closure body may contain other substances, for example, a vaporizable air freshener. Certain embodiments may include a stake for affixing the closure body to the ground. | 10-09-2008 |

20120261419 | STRUCTURE FOR A STORAGE UNIT - A structure for substantially sealing a storage unit, wherein the structure includes an elastically stretchable flange cooperable with a lip provided on a rim of the storage unit, wherein the flange is elastically urged to seal against the lip of the storage unit. | 10-18-2012 |
20120318800 | Infrared thermometer - A hygienic device for use with a container opening is provided. The hygienic device includes a base and at least two guard elements which are integrally formed as a unitary structure. The guard elements, which are made of a soft resilient material and positioned on the base, are readily bendable downward to change shape and thus facilitate the opening/closing thereof, and can get closer together to form a protective layer for enclosing the container opening. The hygienic device requires lesser constituent elements and dispenses with the need to remove a hygienic lid from the container before using the container. The guard elements are capable of rebounding and adjusting shape and thickness, effective in balancing a resilient force and a binding force generated as a result of the bending and opening of the guard elements, and effective in attaching to the container; hence, the guard elements open without increasing occupied space. | 12-20-2012 |
20140175100 | CONFIGURABLE PLUG TO STOP OR SLOW THE FLOW OF A FLUID OR GAS OR FLOWABLE MATERIAL EITHER INWARD OR OUTWARD THROUGH AN OPENING - Aspects of the present invention are directed to a tapered plug. The plug has a bottom base having a geometrical shape. In some embodiments the base has a well-defined geometrical shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, and the like. In other embodiments, the shape of the base is not a regular, well-defined shape. In some embodiments, the plug comes to a point at the top, with a shape analogous to a cone, while in other embodiments, the top of the plug is flat. In some embodiments, the plug has a smooth or nearly smooth surface, made of an easily compressible or semi-compressible material. It is for use in stopping or slowing the flow of a fluid or gas or other flowable material through an opening that the plug is inserted into. | 06-26-2014 |
20140361015 | SEALING PLUG - A sealing plug for sealing an opening in a component has a substantially annular or cylindrical shank, the shank is closed by a sealing surface, and a sealing lip is provided on the shank and having a cone-shaped configuration. The sealing lip locks in place on the rear side of the component and closes the opening. The free edge of the first sealing lip is in contact with the rear side of the component in the assembled condition. The sealing lip has at least one flexible folding zone provided thereon which is reversibly foldable such that in a folded condition of the folding zone the circumference of the sealing lip is reduced in the area of the folding zone at least one of the edge and the sealing lip. | 12-11-2014 |
