US Patent:

44375794, Mar 20, 1984

Filed:

Jan 25, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/342196

Inventors:

Donald R. Obland - Littleton CO

International Classification:

B65D 8304

US Classification:

221 25

Abstract:

A child-proof dispenser includes a container (11) having an inner shell (15) covered by an outer shell section (18) to form an inner compartment (12) enclosing a coiled strip of blister-packaged drugs (13) or the like. The inner and outer shells are releasably interlocked together by central hub portions (31, 25) which support the outer shell for rotation relative to the inner shell. The outer shell is rotated away from a stop (46, 47) and against the action of a compression spring (48) to aline inner and outer dispensing openings (42, 45) in the inner and outer shells, respectively. An ejecting trigger (55) carried by the outer shell is moved relative to both shells against the strip in a guide passage (46) to advance a selected number of doses of drugs via the dispensing openings. Upon release of the shells, the compression spring moves the outer shell to a position to cover the inner dispensing opening. A removal tool (81) releasably mounted on a top knob 71 on the outer shell and has a plunger (87) that extends into the outer shell and against the central hub portion of the inner shell to release the central hub portions to separate the shells for the insertion of a new strip of blister-packeged drugs into the inner compartment.

Appl. No.:

6/341837

Inventors:

Donald R. Obland - Littleton CO

International Classification:

B24B 902

US Classification:

51205WG

Abstract:

An edge sharpening device that simultaneously sharpens the edge faces on both sides of the skis has a hand-grippable support (31) capable of changing in length that carries a pair of opposed edge sharpening heads (32, 33). The heads are movable to a spread position by the changing of the length of the support and a biasing band (61) urges the side sharpening faces (44, 45, 54, 55) of sharpening blocks against the side surfaces of the ski during a reciprocating movement of the device. The heads have bottom sharpening faces (48, 58) that are manually urged against the bottom surfaces of the ski during the reciprocating movement of the device. A flexible mounting provided by heads (68, 78) and sockets (64, 74) permits the heads to turn from side to side about a vertical axis to follow the taper of a ski of varying width during the sharpening operation.
