Abstract: An electric dry shaver is disclosed having a demountable hair pocket. An outer foil cutter member is supported by a hair pocket engaging means. When the hair pocket is mounted to the shaver, the foil is captivated to the hair pocket by an inner cutter carrier whose lateral dimension limits lateral movement of the foil on the engaging means.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for preparing a body site prior to the application of medical treatment at the site is disclosed. The apparatus and method provide for the use of a hand-held, electrically-energized clipper having a disposable cutter head for removal of body hair at the site. An economical, disposable cutter head is described.

Abstract: An improved foil type of electric dry shaver is described wherein an inner assembly of cutter blades for a short hair cutter and a cutter member for a long hair trimmer are simultaneously actuated for reciprocating motion in opposite directions by first and second drive bodies which are mounted to first and second housing segments for the shaver.

Abstract: An electric dry shaver is described having a long hair trimmer which includes an elongated cutter member having a generally U-shaped configuration and elongated comb member having a U-shaped cross sectional configuration. The comb member is assembled with the cutter member to provide a relatively compact and rigid assembly.

Abstract: A protective, demountable head guard is provided for an electric dry shaver which includes a segment adapted for inhibiting movement of a shaver actuating switch and thus avoiding potential inadvertant operation of the shave. The head guard is also sized so as to be captivated by the shaver and upon the application of a manual actuating force to an electric switch slide on the shaver, the head guard is automatically released from the captivated position.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for preparing a body site prior to the application of medical treatment at the site is disclosed. The apparatus and method provide for the use of a hand-held, electrically-energized clipper having a disposable cutter head for removal of body hair at the site. An economical, disposable cutter head is described.

Abstract: A light responsive, battery operated fragrance device is described. The device establishes an air stream over a fragrant material when an artificial light source such as a room lamp is energized. It includes a swivel light gathering body and a photo transistor mounted thereto which can be aimed at the artificial light source and provides directional discrimination and screening of other light sources. The unactuated device provides a limited flow of convection air current which maintains a relatively low level of fragrance dispersion in a room therefor. Upon actuation forced air flowing through the device causes a rapid increase in the level of fragrance dispersion in the room.

Abstract: An improved buoyant alarm device which provides an indication of a disturbance to a quiescent level of a body of water. The device includes a cover assembly and a buoyant body. The cover assembly includes a cover member and a support member. The support member provides a subassembly support for electrical components which are mounted thereto and for forming, with the cover member, an enclosed water-tight chamber for housing the electrical components.

Abstract: An improved circuit arrangement is described which is used with a buoyant device for indicating a disturbance to the quiescent level of a body of water. The circuit arrangement includes an encoder and transmitter which are supported by the device and which are adapted for transmitting encoded information in accordance with a predetermined pulse code to a remote receiver and alarm. Transmission of the encoded signal is terminated after a predetermined interval of time. The encoder and transmitter are coupled in the circuit for enhancing the turn off of a bi-stable switching circuit.

Abstract: A belt buckle has a retainer member and a belt gripping member. The retainer member is demountably coupled to a belt segment and the gripping member is demountably coupled to the retainer member. A slot with stop is provided on the retainer member. The slot receives an end segment of the belt which is inserted therein, and, the stop limits entry of the end segment in the slot. A manually actuated clamp is mounted to the retainer member for both clamping the belt segment and for locking the belt gripping member to the retainer member with a single motion.

Abstract: An inner cutter assembly drive means for an electric dry shaver having a flexible foil outer cutter wherein the motor operated drive means include an arcuate shaped universal drive head connection between the drive means and the walls of a cutter drive slot in the support member for the inner cutter assembly permitting downward, upward and swiveling movement of the inner cutter during reciprocation to maintain shearing contact with the undersurface of the foil.

Abstract: A laminated exothermic hair curler is described having a first sheet formed of a liquid impervious material which includes a plurality of apertures and a second non-perforated sheet of liquid impervious material which is sealed in assembly with said first sheet and provides an enclosure into which an activating fluid can enter through apertues in the first sheet. A liquid absorbent sheet is positioned within the enclosure adjacent the first sheet and chemically reactive means for generating an exothermic reaction are positioned between the absorbent sheet and the second laminate sheet. This laminate assembly is formed into an elongated curler body having an arc-shaped cross sectional configuration.

Abstract: A hair roller is disclosed which is adapted to be expanded from a substantially flat configuration into a body having an elongated, cylindrically shaped configuration which is substantially resistant to bending and buckling. The hair roller comprises first and second generally planar shaped, flexible roller members which are hinge coupled along their edges. The roller members are deflectable into a body having a generally cylindrical configuration and a fastener means is provided for maintaining the configuration. The fastener means includes a fastener member which is hinge coupled to a first of the roller members and improved means integrally formed on the other roller member for engaging the fastener member.
