Abstract: A hair clip apparatus includes a tongue, a clasp and a plurality of hair engaging teeth. The clasp cooperates with the tongue to retain the hair in a desired styling effect. The hair engaging teeth are spaced from the clasp and the tongue to engage hair surrounding the clasp and the tongue. The hair clip apparatus is retained in the volume of hair by trapping the hair between the clasp and the tongue, and also via the hair engaging teeth. The hair engaging teeth also are arranged to retain and secure hair between adjacent teeth, and also trap hair between the inner surfaces of the teeth and the base and/or tongue.

Abstract: A hair brush has a semi-circular configuration, and has a head having a support member with a plurality of apertures therein that accommodate a plurality of bristles each having a hollow therein, and has a rear having an elongated hollow therein that complements the semi-circular configuration. When air is applied to the bristles, each bristle communicates with the aperture so that air can flow through the openings of the bristles, the aperture and outward through the hollow in the rear of the hair brush and away from the hair of a user. When air is applied to the hollow in the rear, the air is directed through the apertures and bristles onto the hair of the user.

Abstract: An ice cream roll maker includes a housing, a freezer wheel mounted within the housing and configured for rotation about a horizontal axis, and a reservoir within the housing for holding a liquid ingredient. An outer peripheral surface of the freezer wheel is configured to receive the liquid ingredient from the reservoir and transform the liquid ingredient into a frozen coating layer on the outer peripheral surface.

Abstract: A hair brush adapted to impart both a straightening effect and a curling effect on a length of hair includes first and second members. The first member includes a first handle and a first brush head having an inner row of centrally disposed primary teeth, an outer row of bristles mounted on each side of the centrally disposed primary teeth, and a thermal conductive element. The thermal conductive element defines an arcuate surface configured for imparting a curl within a lock of hair. The second member includes a second handle, a second brush head having a second head frame defining a longitudinal channel, and an elongate member having a wiper segment disposed on each side of the longitudinal channel, and configured to engage the length of hair to facilitate one of straightening of the length of hair or removing substances from the length of hair.

Abstract: A food processor includes a base, a motor disposed within the base, a drive shaft operatively connected to the motor and extending outwardly from the base, the output shaft being rotatable upon actuation of the motor, a bowl mounted on the base for containing food items, a modular lid for covering the bowl and having an opening therein, and a removable attachment receivable by said opening.

Abstract: A food processor having an integrated spatula is provided. The food processor includes a work bowl and a lid configured to be selectively removable therefrom. The food processor further includes a spatula having a wiper in contact with interior walls of the work bowl and a lever coupled to the wiper and accessible above the lid for manually rotating the wiper within the bowl to scrape the interior walls of the bowl.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an upper housing having a first heating surface and a lower housing operatively connected to the upper housing. The lower housing has a second heating surface having a plurality of apertures therethrough for facilitating the egress of cooking juices from the second heating surface.

Abstract: A hair dryer attachment that slides over and removably attaches to a barrel end of a hair dryer so that while a user uses a conventional brush with one hand, the user can hold the hair dryer in the other hand and use the hair dryer attachment to comb intermittently during blowouts.

Abstract: A food processor includes a base, a motor disposed within the base, a drive shaft operatively connected to the motor and extending outwardly from the base, the output shaft being rotatable upon actuation of the motor, a bowl mounted on the base for containing food items, a modular lid for covering the bowl and having an opening therein, and a removable attachment receivable by the opening.

Abstract: A hair brush that has a circular head or bristle portion with a circular hollow support member that has apertures that accommodate first and second bristles. Each bristle has a triangular hollow shape so that when positioned through the apertures, air can flow through (a) the hollow in the triangular bristles, (b) the apertures in the support member, and (c) outward through a non-bristle side of the support member.

Abstract: A spiralizer attachment for a stand mixer includes a base assembly connectable to an attachment drive port of the stand mixer and a cutting blade rotatably disposed in the base assembly. The spiralizer attachment further includes a lid including a feeding chute through which food can be delivered to the cutting blade.

Abstract: The beverage appliance of the present invention includes a venturi having a steam inlet and a milk inlet. The steam inlet and milk inlet each include a solenoid valve configurable between an open state and a closed state. The solenoid valves are electrically coupled to a processor and are controllable through first and second switches. In operation, upon activation of the first switch, the solenoid valves are controlled to their open states to deliver milk and steam to the venturi to produce frothed milk. When a desired amount of frothed milk has been dispensed, the user deactivates the first switch and the processor controls only the milk inlet solenoid valve to its closed state. The steam inlet solenoid valve remains in its open state for a predetermined amount of time such that a burst of steam only is forced through the venturi and distribution lines to purge them of milk.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a hair-removal system comprising: a mobile phone or tablet computer comprising wireless communication means, a calendar memory with hair-removal session history information and a database comprising treatment time interval and treatment parameters; a light-emitting hair-removal device comprising wireless communication means, said communication means being able to establish interactive communication with the wireless communication means of the mobile phone or tablet computer.

Abstract: A food processor includes a base, a motor disposed within the base, a drive shaft operatively connected to the motor and extending outwardly from the base, the output shaft being rotatable upon actuation of the motor, a bowl mounted on the base for containing food items, a lid for covering the bowl and having an opening therein, at least one storage container receivable within said bowl, and an indexing mechanism engageable with the at least one storage container and being operable to selectively index the storage container within the bowl.
