Abstract

A solar light stick for use in illuminating and decorating a lawn, garden or pathway. The solar light stick includes a supporting stake, a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, at least one LED, and a tube body. The tube body contains a light transmissive material that may be transparent or translucent. The solar panel charges the rechargeable battery which, in turn, provides power to the LEDs. The LEDs are positioned to provide light to the interior of the tube body. As such, the LEDs may be located within a recess in the tube body. Reflective flakes dispersed within the tube body reflect and disperse light from the LEDs in a decorative manner.

Abstract

Sets of stackable cookware including a paired set of cookware lids that are configured to stack on each other and on cookware items. Each lid is configured to cover the other lid, with one lid in the upright position and the other in an inverted position, making it possible to stack both lids on one cookware container, with a first lid covering the container in the inverted position, and the second lid stacked on the first lid in the upright position. The lids are provided with multifunctional rims, having a flat annular shelf an outer rim extending in a perpendicular direction from the upper side of the annular shelf, and an inner rim extends in the opposite perpendicular direction from the lower side of the annular shelf.

Abstract

A set of nestable and stackable cookware, for example, a set of pots and pans, is maintained in a stable configuration by stops attached to the outer walls of the cookware. Each stacked and nested item of cookware is supported on the rim of the lower item by two stops attached to its outer wall, on opposite sides of the item. Each stop is shaped and configured to contact the rim of the lower item in the stack at a finite number of points. The points of contact lie in the same plane, which uprightly supports the stacked cookware item on the lower cookware item, without the walls or the base of the stacked cookware item touching the lower item.

Abstract

A tiltable solar disk light has a solar light disk body comprising a disk- shaped housing which houses solar cells, LEDs, a rechargeable battery, a pushbutton switch, and driver electronics configured to deliver power to the LEDs from the battery when the switch is in the ON position and the solar cells are not detecting ambient light and to cut off power to the LEDs when the switch is in the OFF position or the solar cells are detecting ambient light. The disk body is tiltably and rotatably supported in a frame, on a pair of pegs extending from the housing, with enough clearance space about the disk body to permit tilting and rotating within the frame. A landscape spike is optionally connected to the frame by curved arms configured to define a clearance gap between the spike and the frame to permit the disk body to tilt within the frame about the axis of rotation formed by the pegs.

Abstract

A heat diverting pot handle for engagement to a cooking pot. The pot handle engages with the cooking pot at a first end through the engagement of two forks extending at angles from the first end to engagements with the pot body. An opening between the two forks provides a passage for heat generated from a heat source against the bottom surface of the pot body through the handle to keep the handle cool. Skirts extending from lower surfaces of the two forks are positioned to contact the upper edge of a lower positioned pot body when stacked to prevent scratches in the cooking surface of the lower-positioned pot body.

Abstract

An assistance device for entering and leaving a vehicle includes a handle member for supporting at least part of the weight of the user grasping a handle of the handle member, a striker pin insertion post for extending into the opening of a striker pin in the door frame, for supporting at least part of the weight of a user grasping the handle, and a pair of outrigger side portions extending transversely outwardly of the insertion post, on respective opposite sides of the handle member and insertion post, each having a transverse width greater than a transverse width of the insertion post for impeding entry of the insertion post into the opening of the striker pin when the handle member is outside the plane of the door frame.
