Abstract: An effervescent compound is disclosed which includes a liquid ingredient, an effervescent system and optionally a solvent. The solvent may be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, and may have low solubility with effervescent ingredients. The solvent may include an alcohol, a glycol or a glycol ether, for example, but not limited to, 2-butoxyethanol. The effervescent system used in the effervescent compound may be, for example, but not limited to, an expanded perborate salt, anhydrous, or a mixture of an expanded perborate salt, anhydrous, and oxoborate or an acid and one or more of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate. The effervescent compound may further include any one, or all, or any combination of the following ingredients: surfactants, bleaching compositions, anti-redeposition agents, binders, lubricants, colors, fragrances, corrosion inhibitors, disinfectants, pesticides, fertilizers and/or optical brighteners.

Abstract: A hair curler (1) for waving hair includes a hollow supporting body (2). The cross section diminishes from the first end (3) over the axial length towards the second end (4). An enlarged element (6) has a cross section being more than the cross section of the second end (4), it is located in the region of the second end (4) and it is designed and arranged to prevent hair from slipping off the hair curler (1). A fixing device (8) is designed and arranged to fix the supporting body (2) in the region of the base of the hair. A hook band (7) is located on the circumference of the supporting body (2). The hook band (7) at least covers a portion of the circumference of the supporting body (2). The portion approximately extends from the region of the first end (3) in the direction of the axial length of the supporting body (2). The supporting body (2) at least in the portion being covered by the hook band (7) has an approximately oval cross section.
Abstract: A barbecue grill and cart including a right leg frame assembly and a left leg assembly. Each of the right and left leg assemblies includes a bracket member disposed on an upper portion of the right and said left leg assemblies. Each of the bracket members includes a contact portion for engaging a barbecue grill when the right and left leg assemblies are in generally vertical positions. Securing means are provided for rotatably attaching the right and said left leg assemblies to the barbecue grill such that the right and said left leg assemblies can be rotated between a stowed position and said generally vertical position.

Abstract: An effervescent compound is disclosed which includes a solvent and an effervescent system. The solvent may be both hydrophilic and have low solubility with organic effervescent ingredients. The solvent may include a glycol ether, for example, but not limited to, 2-butoxyethanol. The effervescent system used in the effervescent compound may be, for example, but is not limited to, expanded sodium perborate or a mixture of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and an acid. The effervescent compound may further include any one, or all, or any combination of the following ingredients: surfactants, bleaching compositions, anti-redeposition agents, binders, lubricants, colors, fragrances, and/or optical brighteners. Also disclosed is a method for making an effervescent compound, including the steps of providing a solvent, providing an effervescent system in powder form, and mixing the solvent with the effervescent system, thereby producing a free-flowing effervescent compound.

Abstract: A hood mounting device including at least one cam having a first surface and an aperture located on the bottom casting. At least one second surface is located on the grill hood and is configured such that the first and said second surfaces contact each other when the hood is placed in the closed position on the lower casting. The hood mounting device is configured such that a corresponding aperture formed in the hood is axially aligned with the aperture in the lower casting when the hood is in the closed position. Longitudinal securing means are passed through the axially aligned aperture and corresponding aperture, thereby rotatably securing the hood to the bottom casting.
