A blister package for storing an array of oral hygiene applicators, each formed from a circular base having bristles anchored thereon which are impregnated with a dentifrice. The underside of the base is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive whereby when the applicator is adhered to a fingertip of a user, it then functions as a toothbrush. The package includes a card of synthetic plastic film material molded to define an array of blisters. Sealed to the card is a backing sheet having an array of applicators releasably adhered thereto, each applicator being nested in a respective blister in the card. The package is divided by lines of perforation into separable cells, each enclosing an applicator. In use, a cell is separated from the package, its backing sheet is peeled off to expose the applicator, and the applicator is then detached from the sheet and applied to a finger tip of the user.

Bullnose corner cleaning tool

A tool for cleaning and finishing bullnose joints between adjacent sheets of drywall or the like has a handle configured for grasping by a user and a head that includes a working section. The head is formed generally as a section of a thin-walled hollow cylinder having a concave side and a convex side. The working portion is the front edge of the head, which is configured to finish drywall joints of selected angles. The front edge further includes a curved recess. The curved recess in the concave side of the head is used for finishing a drywall joint of a first selected angle and the convex side is used for finishing a drywall joint of a second selected angle.

A filling system for a silo is provided, wherein the silo is filled by blowing grain, hay, or other suitable material into the silo through a duct that extends up the silo wall, and that turns and enters into an inlet opening at the top of the silo wall, whereupon the fill material is blown toward the geometric center of the silo at the top thereof, to strike a baffle or deflector, whereupon the fill material may fall from the upper center of the silo toward the bottom thereof. A pressure relief system is provided in the form of a vent that also has a baffle or deflector for engagement of large dust particles thereagainst, and in addition is provided with a screen-type collector, with an open hole for assurance that the vent will not become blocked. Particularly novel opening mechanisms are provided for the fill door and the vent door, for opening them by an operator located at the ground level. A novel opening is provided for an access door above the center deflector or baffle. The fill material may be provided to the silo using reduced energy requirement for delivery of the fill material, and without requiring climbing by an operator to the roof or top of the silo.
