  • Patent number: 9795208
    Abstract: A system and method of temporarily lifting sections of skin on and about the face and neck proximate the ear so as to produce a facelift effect. An application template is provided that can be hung around the ear. At least two sections of tape are provided. One section of tape is connected to the top end of the application template. A second section of tape is connected to the bottom end of the application template. The application template orients both sections of tape. Once the sections of tape are adhered to the skin, the application template is removed. An elastic element is then joined between the sections of tape an creates a tension force that causes the tape to pull the skin toward the ear.

  • Patent number: 9301634
    Abstract: A system and method of fabricating a partition curtain. The partition curtain is made from non-woven synthetic material. The partition curtain is made without sewing. Accordingly, the partition curtain has no seams that can harbor contaminants or initiate tearing. A mesh pattern is cut into the non-woven material. The mesh pattern runs parallel to the top edge and bottom edge of the curtain. The partition curtain is solid both below the mesh section and above the mesh section. Grommets are set into the partition curtain above the mesh section so that the curtain can be hung from a curtain track. Graphics can be printed onto the front and rear surfaces of the partition curtain.

  • Patent number: 8146646
    Abstract: A window covering system used to adjust the position of window covers. Each cover hangs from a support that includes a roller. The covers are adjusted in position by the rotation of the roller. A slave gear is attached to each roller to facilitate rotation. A drive gear is provided that is sized to intermesh with each of the slave gears on the rollers. An adjustment mechanism is provided for rotating the drive gear. A second adjustment mechanism is provided for selectively moving the drive gear between various positions. At different points in its movement, the drive gear engages different slave gears from different rollers. Accordingly, a selected roller can be rotated. Thus, a single drive gear and a single manually operated mechanism can be used to individually rotate any number of rollers, thereby adjusting any number of window coverings.
