Abstract: A animal grooming tool employs a substantially rectangular body having a top surface, a lower surface, a first end, a second end and two sides. The body is composed of flexible material with a hardness of between 20 and 60 Shore A for enhanced attraction of hair for removal.

Abstract: An ozone purifying apparatus comprises a float which is afloat in polluted water and which includes an ozone reaction region in which the polluted water is mixed with ozonide air for the purpose of carrying out an ozone processing on the polluted water and an oxidant removing region in which oxidant generated due to a reaction between the polluted water and the ozonide air in the ozone reaction region is removed. The ozone purifying apparatus does not occupy a wide space. Water levels in the float can be easily adjusted. Furthermore, the ozone purifying apparatus can be easily installed.

Abstract: A toothless elastomeric shedding blade (10) is capable of resiliently conforming to arcuate surfaces of a hair- or fur- bearing animal. The blade has two opposed blade portions (18,20) that form different angles of attack to the coat of the animal, and one of these angles of attack can be selected by the user for use. A combination of the resiliency of the shedding blade body, the acute angle of each blade portion and the coefficient of friction of the elastomeric material as applied to the coat of the animal produces a superior cleaning action.
