Abrégé

A heater device formed from first and second compartments separated by a penetratable divider. An access element is positioned to puncture the divider. The first compartment presents a heating surface to an object and has a heat generating material inside it. The second compartment has an activating agent. An access element is in into contact with the divider to permit a heat generating reaction. The access element includes a concentric passage with an opening for providing access of the water to the passage and the first compartment and includes at least one pointed tip for puncturing the divider.

A shipping pallet made from cardboard sheets. A pair of support beams are positioned under a pallet top. "V" shaped beams positioned inside each of the support boxes such that such that the ends of the "V" shape engage inner corners of the box and the bend in the "V" contacts the inner top surface of the box. A filler beam may be inserted inside the "V" shaped beam.

Abrégé

A personal hygiene wipe device that includes a contained and controlled exothermic chemical reaction to provide warmth for the wipe. The device includes an outer pouch containing a heat generating agent and an inner pouch inside the outer pouch and having an activating element. Upon application of pressure to the device, the spread of the activating agent into contact with the chemicals generates an exothermic reaction. Optionally, a vacuum assisted activation increasing the speed of contact between the activating agent and the heat generating agent, and/or a heat sink may be provided.

Abrégé

A manually operable pill crusher device for use with pill pouches. A base includes a crushing surface over which a head is mounted. A handle is attached to a cam inside the head. The head moves the handle from a horizontal to a vertical position. The cam is mounted inside a ram which slideably moves axially from a raised position in the head when the handle is vertical to a lowered position when horizontal. The ram includes a crushing surface. The head includes a slot for a pill in a pouch to be inserted.
