Abstract: A wall mount is provided which supports an automotive bicycle rack of the type having a plurality of feet which engage the rear portion of an automobile and straps with hooks for releasably securing the rack to the automobile. The wall mount is a ladder-like device which comprises a pair of vertically disposed rails for fastening to a wall and a plurality of horizontal cross-beam members disposed in vertically spaced orientation on the rails. An uppermost cross-beam member has an upwardly opening "J" cross section and the lowermost cross-beam member having a downwardly opening "J" cross-section, for receiving the hooks of the rack. A pair of intermediate cross-beam members are spaced between the uppermost and lowermost cross-beam members and have vertical surfaces for receiving the feet of the rack. The vertical surface of the lower of said intermediate cross-beam members is disposed approximately 3 to 4 inches further from the wall than said other vertical surface to mimic the bumper of an automobile.

Abstract: An applicator brush for fluid-type cosmetics, such as may be used in applying mascara to eyelashes which includes a bristle portion disposed at one end of a helical twisted wire core with a handle disposed at the outer end. The configuration of the bristle portion is such that the bristle tips define a generally cylindrical outer surface having two (2) diametrically opposed channels and application surfaces helically disposed along the length of the brush portion which are spiraled about the core to form a helix thereof. The brush portion is formed by disposing the bristles between the lengths of the wire and helically twisting the wire to form the core that retains the bristles therebetween. The bristle portion is then trimmed to a shape of generally rectangular cross-section. To form the helical application surface, the wire core is further twisted in the same direction a predetermined number of turns.

Abstract: Atomizing spray nozzle for mixing and atomizing various liquid and gas combinations includes a central liquid conduit, an annular gas passage disposed concentrically about the liquid conduit, a helical spray member and a spray head. The spray member includes a bore disposed in axial alignment with the liquid conduit and is of helical configuration which, in cross-section, tapers inwardly toward the distal end thereof. The spray head is of generally tubular configuration and encloses the helical member, except for at least one outlet orifice through its outer end wall. The spray head provides a chamber for the mixing of the gas and liquid and for the discharge of the resulting mixture through the orifice of the head to form an atomized spray.
