    Abstract: Disclosed is a tool including a handle capable of manipulation by a human hand, and one or more head portions to mate to various types of treatment attachments, which may be moved over an area of skin and/or body part by a motion generator moving the head portions, and/or by a user manipulating the handle. Various suitable attachments include applicator attachments having abrasive surfaces, oxygenating attachments having pores through which air may travel, brush attachments for cleaning and polishing, thermal attachments for heating and cooling, and light radiating attachments. A fan within the tool may draw air into the tool and push air through the oxygenating attachment to treat skin with the air. Also, an eccentric mass within the tool may vibrate a surface of the oxygenating attachment to treat the skin with the vibration or abrasive particles of a composition. The eccentric mass may be part of the fan.

  • Patent number: 4798022
    Abstract: A combination fishhook and swivel wherein the swivel is attached at the non-pointed end of the elongated stem of the fishhook and is an integral part of the fishhook. Through the combination fishhook and swivel, the fishhook itself can rotate as the fish trashes and revolves in the water while attempting to break free. As a result the fishing line attached to the combination of fishhook and swivel does not become tangled in the swivel or the fishhook.
