Abstract: A body polisher and method of using the body polisher as a skin treatment, includes a two phase composition containing Dead Sea salt and emollient. The emollient is advantageously silicone oil and is present in about 32.67% by weight. About 66.66% by weight Sea salt is provided, the remainder being fragrance.
Abstract: A workstation has a work surface with a front edge which a user faces in a front facing position at the workstation. A first inner side edge extends from one end of the front edge at a first angle to the front edge and on one side of the front facing position, and a second inner side edge extends from an opposite end of the front edge, at a second angle and on an opposite side of the front facing position. First and second outer bounding edges, have first ends connected to each other at an angle of about 70-110 degrees, each of the first and second outer edges having opposite second ends. A first outer side edge is connected between the second end of the first outer bounding edge and the first inner side edge and a second outer side edge is connected between the second end of the second outer bounding edge and the second inner side edge.

Abstract: A fragrance-dispensing artificial flower combination has a cylindrical container with an open upper end and a closed lower end. A volatile liquid fragrance is in the container and a piston is slidably mounted in the container for closing the container over the fragrance. The piston has an opening therethrough, between the open upper end of the container and the fragrance in the container. A tube having a lower open end extending into the open end of the piston, has an upper open end.
Abstract: A display unit such as a digital or analog watch is held in a wedge-shaped member to the top of footwear by a second tongue held, for example, with hook and loop fasteners, to the top of a sneaker or shoe. In another embodiment, the display unit can be held to the top of footwear by the laces of the footwear, which are threaded through a series of pairs of openings in the bottom of the display holder.
Abstract: A transparent gel air freshener and method of preparing the same. The gel composition comprises an aqueous gel, a fragrance, a surfactant and a co-solvent. The gel is transparent and free from visible particles and inhomogeneities, has a uniform texture and a continuous structure, and includes volatile scented components. The gel is capable of suspending solids such as botanicals therein for decorative effect. The method provides for preparation of a such a gel air freshener, including the suspension of botanicals therein, while maintaining the clarity, texture, and structure of the gel. The method includes the steps of preparing a gel composition and cooling the gel composition. Botanicals may be added to the gel composition when it has gelled enough to support the botanicals on the gel surface.
Abstract: A mechanical pencil has a front sleeve, a cap rotatably and detachably mounted at the rear end of the front sleeve, and a lead advancing mechanism contained in the front sleeve. Rotation of the cap actuates the lead advancing mechanism to advance a lead. The mechanical pencil prevents breakage of lead and has low manufacturing costs. A rotation cam mechanism is disposed behind the lead advancing mechanism for advancing lead. The rotation cam mechanism has a rotation cam for rotating in accordance with rotation of a cap and a cam sleeve biased to engaged the rotation cam. An inside diameter of the front end of the cam sleeve is larger than an outside diameter of the rear end of the lead advancing mechanism so that the rear end of the lead advancing mechanism is inserted into the front end of the cam sleeve with a clearance in the radial direction. An inside diameter of the rear end of the lead advancing mechanism is larger than the outside diameter of a lead to establish a clearance there also.
