Abstract: A simulated candle apparatus includes an upright cylindrical housing having a detachable housing top wall with a lighting circuit affixed to the housing top wall lower surface and an LED light source connected to the lighting circuit and extending above the housing top wall to resemble a candle flame, the housing containing a battery compartment and a power circuit including battery terminals extending into the battery compartment, the power circuit extending to and being in electrical communication with the lighting circuit, and one of the lighting circuit and the power circuit including a magnetic field activated light actuation switch in the form of a magnetically sensitive relay switch. The apparatus preferably includes a wand having a magnetic tip for placement near the light actuation switch to activate and deactivate the light source while resembling a match.

Abstract: A rechargeable device for spraying a fluid in a mist-like manner. The device includes an actuator head and a removable tank containing the fluid. The actuator head includes an actuator member that is movable between a predetermined high position and a predetermined low position. The removable tank includes a neck in which a pump is engaged. The pump has a hollow pump body which defines a cylindrical pump chamber filled with the fluid and in which a piston slides. Extending from the piston is a hollow actuator rod through which the fluid leaves the pump. The pump chamber is in communication with the fluid contained in the tank. A pushbutton fitted with a lateral outlet nozzle is fixed to the actuator rod of the pump, such that the actuator member presses against the pushbutton to actuate the pump. The neck of the tank includes a removable plug on which the pump is fixed.

Abstract: A device for spraying or dispensing a fluid, the device comprising: a single-acting pump having a capacity of less than 500 .mu.l and provided with piston means actuated by a hollow push rod allowing fluid to flow therealong, said piston means sliding in a pump chamber that normally contains fluid to be sprayed or dispensed, to enable said fluid to be expelled; a pusher mounted on said push rod of the pump and communicating with said push rod to enable the fluid to escape; and rapid repetition actuator means having a moving portion for actuating the push rod repetitively; wherein the pusher is connected to said moving portion of the actuator means by a connection that does not leave play in the axial direction of the push rod.

Abstract: Electro-stimulation apparatus comprises a self-contained housing including at least one energy source, a contact end for application against the skin of a user so as to transmit a series of repetitive electrical discharges to the skin, and means for stabilizing the current and the frequency of the discharges. When the energy source has worn to such an extent that the discharge current can no longer be stabilized, the apparatus stops working and must be discarded.
