A dual cushion body support system includes a relatively thin, elongate, substantially flat, top cushion and a relatively shorter base cushion that is configured to underlie and elevate a central part of the top cushion to provide upwardly arched support to a person lying in a prone, face down position to comfortably elevate the upper back and shoulders of the person for gently stretching, positioning and exposing muscles of the neck and back for treatment such as massage. The top cushion serves as flexible pad and as a protective cover that drapes the underlying base cushion and relies on the base cushion to provide a properly arched body support contour. An end portion of the top cushion that drapes beyond the length of the base cushion is provided with an upstanding forehead support formation to assist in comfortably supporting the person's head; and, the top cushion is sufficiently flexible to permit its being rolled up for ease of transport and for compact storage. The base cushion is inflatable and preferably employs separately inflatable chambers to provide ready adjustment of the contour and effective length of the base cushion; and, the base cushion can be deflated for ease of transport and compact storage.

A smoking appliance utilizes a solid-phase cooling medium for tempering and treating smoke. The appliance has a housing which defines an upstanding cooling chamber. A burning bowl is arranged to introduce smoke to be treated into a lower portion of the cooling chamber. A flexible hose communicates a mouthpiece with the chamber for withdrawing treated smoke from an upper portion of the cooling chamber. A removable container is provided for supporting a solid-phase cooling medium within an intermediate portion of the cooling chamber. The cooling medium defines a plurality of flow paths for transmitting smoke from the lower portion to the upper portion. During its travel through the cooling medium, the smoke is exposed to a large surface area of the cooling medium to effect a thorough tempering and treating action. While the solid-phase cooling medium preferably takes the form of a reusable frozen cartridge, it may also constitute a plurality of pieces of ice supported within the container. A drainable residue collection area is provided at the base of the cooling chamber for catching ash particles and residue-containing liquid.

A rugged, heavy duty, industrial-type hand held can opener tool is provided with a male drive formation to which a battery operated power drill or the like may be connected so the tool may be held in one hand, and may be operated by a power tool held in the other hand. When two pivotally connected handles of the can opener close toward each other, a cutting formation carried on one handle and a toothed drive wheel carried on the other handle grip the can. As the handles close, the cutting formation punctures the lid of the can adjacent the rim of the can. As the drive wheel rotates causing the can to turn, the cutting formation smoothly circumferentially severs the lid from the rim. The severed lid and the burr-free de-lidded can fall free when the handles are opened.
