20110107506 | WATER FLOW CONTROLLING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for controlling the duration and volume of a flow of water in a flush of a Toilet, which includes a buoyant flush valve which is non-automated in user actuation thereof to a raised open position. The system includes a converting element, for converting the buoyant flush valve to a non-buoyant flush valve which is non-automated in user actuation thereof to a raised open position. A programming element enables programming of a controlling time, for controlling the duration and volume of flow of water in a flush of a toilet. A controlling element is connected to the programming element and the non-buoyant flush valve, for retaining the non-buoyant flush valve in a raised open position upon non-automated user actuation thereof to the raised open position, and for releasing the non-buoyant flush valve from the raised open position for closing the non-buoyant flush valve, within the controlling time. | 05-12-2011 |
20120187140 | TISSUE DISPENSING DEVICE - A tissue dispensing device for use with a standard tissue carton is formed as a helical coil spring that is highly stretchy and has a top coil that is fastened around a dispenser aperture in a top surface of the tissue carton with the remainder of the helical coil spring inserted into a space between the top surface of the tissue carton and top of the stack of tissues within the carton with a bottom coil thereof resting on top of the stack of tissues. The helical coil spring forms an open circular space within its coils under gravity that provides a vertically-extending support structure for supporting a tissue next to be dispensed from the tissue stack in a vertical standing position with a leading part thereof extending through a membrane opening of the dispenser aperture of the tissue carton to enable a user to grasp the leading part to withdraw the next tissue to be dispensed. | 07-26-2012 |
20130319260 | EGG WHITE-YOLK SEPARATOR DEVICE - An egg white-yolk separator device has a plurality of yolk trays clustered in a symmetrical configuration centered around a cracking dome. Each yolk tray is surrounded by a dividing wall and ringed by a single annular straining channel for pouring off the egg white from the yolk except where a connecting arm extended from a center support member to the bottom side of the yolk tray. In one embodiment, the device has supporting legs on the outer sides of the yolk trays so that it can stand on a flat surface or be aligned on the rim of a bowl. In another embodiment, the device has ears or tabs on the outer sides of the yolk trays for alignment on the rim of a bowl while being self-standing on a flat pan by the bottoms of the yolk trays. | 12-05-2013 |

20130174338 | WATER FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTERIOR RETROFITTING TO TOILET TANK - A system for controlling the duration and volume of a flow of water in a flush of a Toilet has a converting element, for converting the normally buoyant flush valve to a non-buoyant flush valve. A programming element enables programming of a controlling time for the flush duration and volume of water. A controlling element connects the programming element to the non-buoyant flush valve, for retaining it in a raised open position upon user actuation, and for releasing it to close the flush valve within the controlling time. In a preferred embodiment, the controlling element is mounted to the exterior wall of the toilet tank and has a connecting element connected to the flush actuator outside the tank which is connected to the flush lever and to the non-buoyant flush valve within the tank. | 07-11-2013 |
20160031111 | MAGNETIC KNIFE BLADE WIPER - A magnetic knife blade wiper, for use with knives of standard types and sizes, has a pair of wiper blades spaced apart in parallel to fit onto the side surfaces of a knife blade. A device housing is attached to upper ends of the pair of wiper blades and has a permanent magnet carried in a cavity therein for holding the wiper magnetically on the spine of the knife blade. The wiper can be moved along the blade toward the knifepoint to wipe off any food debris on the side surfaces of the blade. The wiper blade length is sized to be less than the height of the blade so that the wiper can remain in position proximate the hilt of the knife without interfering with cutting operations. The wiper blades have a thin profile so that, when positioned proximate the hilt of the knife, they do not project beyond the girth of the knife in order not to interfere with the user's sightlines or cutting operations. | 02-04-2016 |
20160031112 | MAGNETIC KNIFE WEDGE ATTACHMENT - A magnetic knife wedge attachment for use with a knife has a spine-mounting portion carrying a permanent magnet adapted to be placed in magnetic contact on the spine of the knife blade, and a blade-mounting portion carrying another permanent magnet forming an L-shaped cross-section with the spine-mounting portion and adapted for magnetic attachment to the side surface of the knife blade. The blade-mounting portion has beveled surfaces tapering to sharp edges so as to form a wedge shape around the edges of the blade-mounting portion for forcing cut food material to tilt outward to prevent adhesion of the cut material to the knife blade. By its magnetic attachment onto two contiguous portions of the metal knife blade, the wedge device provides magnetic strength and holding forces to remain locked onto the knife blade during use for cutting food material. | 02-04-2016 |
