Abstract: Drying apparatus has a casing (12), a cavity (30) formed in the casing (12) for receiving an object, a fan (40) located in the casing (30) and capable of creating an airflow, and at least one slot-like opening (60, 62) communicating with the fan (40) and arranged in the casing (12) so as to direct an airflow transversely across the cavity (30). The slot-like opening is formed between opposing walls (54a, 54b, 56a, 56b) and one of the walls (54a, 56a) terminates substantially flush with the casing (12) and the other wall (54b, 56b) protrudes beyond the casing (12). It is preferred that the slot-like opening (60, 62) is formed between an upper wall (54a, 56a) and a lower wall (54b, 56b) and that the lower wall (54b, 56b) terminates substantially flush with the casing (12) and the upper wall (54a, 56a) protrudes beyond the casing (12). This arrangement has been found still to reduce the effect of the air causing the user's hands to be pulled or sucked towards the slot-like openings (60, 62) but has the added advantage of eliminating any protrusion of the walls (54a, 56a) of the slot-like opening (60, 62) on one side thereof. This helps to avoid clothing, watches, bracelets and the like becoming caught or snagged on what would otherwise be an overhanging lip as the hands are withdrawn from the cavity (30).

Title: Impact indicator for shooting training
Inventor: LIAO YIN-HSI
IPC: F41J5/14
Filed: 2008-04-15
Abstract: An impact indicator for shooting training, in which an impact indicator includes a pipe body, a light beam module and a compression structure.  A wall surface of the pipe body is penetrated with holes, and the light beam module is configured with a switch and located at one end of the pipe body. The compression structure is fitted with a piston at one end remote from the light beam module, and a rod is located at the other end. Accordingly, when air currents are outwardly expelled from the interior of a gun barrel and push the compression structure, then the rod of the compression structure activates the switch of the light beam module, causing the light beam module to emit a light beam. The present invention is thus provided with practical advancement to enable instantaneous indication of the shooting point of impact.

Abstract: The present invention is a pacifier having a non-collapsible aperture within the nipple lengthwise and a vertical aperture crosswise. The pacifier has a superiorly arched nipple upon a guard and opposite the nipple, a tab for grasping. The horizontal aperture extends from the tip of the nipple and through the guard. The horizontal aperture allows the passage of air into and out of the pacifier as an infant breathes and has a rib extending lengthwise that prevents collapse of the aperture. However, as infants salivate when suckling on a pacifier, the vertical aperture permits drainage of saliva, that enters the horizontal aperture, back into the mouth of an infant. The guard has a generally oval shape. Alternatively, the nipple deviates superiorly and close to the proximal end, has recesses for teeth or gums, and a hole in the tab for a strap or keeper.
