  • Apparatus for conditioning air
    Patent number: 6938886
    Abstract: A humidifier including a steam generator with a container for water and an immersed heating module. The heating module has a spherical shape and is formed of a stainless steel outer surface and an aluminum inner body. Electrical heating coils are affixed to the aluminum body to heat the aluminum body and transfer heat through the stainless steel into water. The composite of the inner and outer bodies provides efficient heat transfer for boiling water. The stainless steel resists any permanent adherence of residue to the heating module during the boiling process. Steam from the boiling water transfers through a mixing stack to surrounding air in the humidifier.

  • Hair wrapping device
    Publication number: 20040237991
    Abstract: A hair wrapping device has a handle portion and a carousel structure. An electric drive in the handle rotates the carousel about a central passage. The carousel structure includes bobbins and structures for allowing decorative strands on the bobbins to be directed into the central passage along with a tress of hair. When the drive is energized the carousel structure rotates and wraps each decorative strand around the tress as the wrapping device is moved along the tress of hair.

  • Appliance for storing articles in an evacuated container
    Patent number: 6725632
    Abstract: A vacuum sealing appliance for lidded containers. A container is evacuated by placing a conventional container with a lid under a bell cover or by applying a special lid to an open container. An actuator assembly moves a valve to an sealed position and energizes an electrical vacuum pump. A vacuum switch and solenoid simultaneously terminate the operation of the vacuum pump and allow atmospheric pressure to be applied to the lid, thereby to seal the lid against the container.

  • Portable depilator
    Publication number: 20040039403
    Abstract: A battery-operated depilator directs current through the papilla as a low-frequency square wave. Conduction is achieved by means of tweezers or electrode patches. The electrode patches contain two conductive arrays for connecting to opposite terminals on a low-frequency AC supply receiving the alternating current independently.

  • Battery operated hair braider
    Publication number: 20030230316
    Abstract: A hair braider kit. An individual grips a handle of a hair braider and moves a center “off” switch to a first conducting position. An electric motor is energized and a stop engages a rotatable body thereby to block rotation of the body and permit a planetary gear system to rotate individual hair twisting elements to form twisted hair strands. When the switch is moved to a second conductive position, the blocking element is removed so the rotatable body wraps the twisted strands over each other into a braid without any significant motion of the twister bodies with respect to the rotatable body. A stand supports the hair braider and facilitates the attachment of hair strands to the hair twisting elements.
