Filed:

Jun 24, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/968464

Inventors:

Do Le Minh - Fullerton CA

International Classification:

A61J 100

US Classification:

215206

Abstract:

The present invention relates generally to a child-restraint combination of a container and a one-piece closure. The interior surface of the closure has one type-A lug, and a plurality of type-B lugs. The exterior surface of the container has one type-A groove, and a plurality of type-B grooves. If the user aligns the two side lines, one on the container and one on the closure, before lifting the closure away from the container, then the type-A lug is lifted into the type-A groove, and the closure can be removed very easily from the container. If the user lifts the closure without aligning the two side lines first, then the type-A lug is lifted into one of the type-B grooves, causing the container and the closure interlock, making it impossible to rotate or to lift the closure away from the container.

International Classification:

B65D 5502

US Classification:

215220

Abstract:

This invention provides a new and simple tamper-resistant, safety closure for a container having threaded neck. It requires the user to align the two arrows, then give it an upward lift while turning in the counter-clockwise direction to unscrew it from the container. Features of the invention useful in accomplishing the above objects include an outer cap and an inner cap. The interior surface of the outer cap has a plurality of identical protrusions, called the type A protrusions, and one type B protrusion. The exterior surface of the inner cap has a plurality of identical grooves, called the type A grooves, and one type B groove. If the type B protrusion is lifted into the type B groove, then the two caps inter-lock and turning the outer cap in the counter-clockwise direction would also turn the inner cap in the same direction, resulting in the unscrewing of the closure from the container. On the other hand, if the type B protrusion is lifted into one of the type A grooves, then the outer cap will rotate without unscrewing the inner cap from the container.

International Classification:

B60J 302

US Classification:

296 974

Abstract:

A sunshield comprises a panel which, in its storage position, is supported under the roof of the vehicle at a height above the passenger's head by a rod. In this storaage position, the rod points to a direction perpendicular to the window. To move it to its operative position inside the window, the panel is rotated from its horizontal to vertical position, while the rod itself is rotated to a direction generally horizontal and generally parallel to the window. The inside surface of the sunshield always faces toward the interior of the automobile.

Abstract:

The present invention entails a card game comprising a set of cards. Each card bears a plurality of states of nature which can be uniquely realized by a chance device, a plurality of probabilities that each of the state of nature is realized and a plurality of rewarding rules, each of which associates each state of nature with a unique reward. Upon his or her turn, the player is given one such card, studies it, selects one rewarding rule, then performs the chance device and finally receives a reward accordingly.
