Patent number: 4934855Abstract: A spray brush includes a brush head having a relatively flat panel formed with a number of openings extending therethrough. Additionally, the brush head has a number of laterally projecting fingers forming notches therebetween. The tubular handle of the brush serves as a reservoir for a supply of hair styling composition. Through the agency of a manually actuated pump mechanism, liquid is pumped from the reservoir through a nozzle reciprocally disposed in a longitudinal slot formed in the panel. Thus, the spray brush, when held in one of the stylist's hands, can be used simultaneously with a hair dryer, when held in the stylist's other hand, so that the hair styling composition can be directed onto a person's head while air from the dryer is directed through the openings and notches at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1989Date of Patent: June 19, 1990Assignee: A-Veda CorporationInventor: Horst M.

Patent number: 4690279Abstract: A package for oral contraceptives that has the outward appearance of a hair brush. A first compartment serves as a pill storage compartment; it retains a three week supply of pills of the type that are individually packaged under a flexible bubble and collectively mounted on a frangible support surface. The floor of the first compartment is apertured and each aperture is pill-sized and positioned in registration with a pill under a bubble. A closure member such as a hinged lid masks the presence of the pill-storage compartment, but when the lid is open and a bubble is pressed against, the frangible support surface for the pill breaks and allows the pill to fall into a second compartment with an imperforate bottom. The second compartment is enclosed on three sides but open on a fourth so that a pill driven through its frangible support surface may be retrieved from such second compartment by tilting the brush.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1986Date of Patent: September 1, 1987Inventor: Charles Hochberg

Patent number: 4651761Abstract: This invention concerns about an electric hair comb-clipper. It mainly uses a magnetism generator which, by its two magnetic poles, changes the polar of the two poles when AC current is on, enabling the swing block with two poles to swing up and down forcing a movable clipper blade to move back and forth straight as well. Below the movable blade, a comb is attached to the base for combing hair; after hair has been combed by the comb, the base is turned around for 90 degrees to have hair cut off by the movable blade.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1985Date of Patent: March 24, 1987Inventors: Ru H.

Patent number: 4406296Abstract: A system of jewelry intended primarily though not exclusively for children incorporating an improved interconnectable bead. The improved interconnectable bead consists of a bead body having a male and a female connector and an opening through the bead body which is substantially perpendicular to an axis drawn through the male and female connectors. The bead body is strung on a string passed through the opening. The string ends are passed through a ring opening larger than the male connector and secured. The bead body may swivel freely until the male connector abuts the outer wall of the ring. If tension is applied to the string, the male connector will slip into the opening in the ring and thereby will be partially concealed. The improved bead may be used with hats and hair attachments and means for suspending it therefrom may be hook and loop fastening means.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1982Date of Patent: September 27, 1983Assignee: Howard WexlerInventors: Howard Wexler, Joseph Spano

Patent number: 4277193Abstract: A hair grooming device includes a brush head surrounded by a rotatable cover member having a lateral opening through which bristles on the brush head are exposable. A handle for the brush head includes a reservoir for a liquid treating agent and communicates through a passage in the brush head with small dispensing holes spaced among the bristles. The cover member is rotatable between a bristle exposed position in which the bristles are exposed through the lateral opening, and a bristle storage position in which the bristles are concealed within the cover member. The cover member has comb teeth thereon adjacent the lateral opening, and seals are provided between the brush head and cover member to prevent leakage of treating agent from the bristles in the bristle storage position of the cover member.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1979Date of Patent: July 7, 1981Inventor: Ray Knaus
