Abstract: A display stand for displaying appliances, allowing for change of the appliance displayed and of associated promotional cards, having an upper face plate made of transparent material and supported at an angle away from vertical, display card guides on the under side of the upper face plate, an appliance holder, a horizontal slot in the upper face plate gripped by the appliance holder, a lower face plate mounted below the upper face plate, a line cord opening between the lower face plate and the upper face plate, and a wire lock clip dimensioned to fit over the opening and to receive and secure a line cord from a displayed appliance.

Abstract: An air diffuser for a hair dryer having a porous diffuser face, panels secured to the diffuser face and to one another to form a plenum chamber. A spout is attached to the plenum chamber on the side opposite the diffuser face. When the spout is fitted about the air outlet of a hair dryer, the air will pass through the plenum chamber and be diffused as it passes out through the diffuser face. The face and the panels are formed of flexible, plastic sheet material.

Abstract: An information organization system is provided which utilizes a series of imprinted organizational sheets which have releasable, pressure-sensitive adhesive on the lower edge of the reverse surface. These sheets are carried on a pad and are thereafter individually removed and placed upon preprinted notebook or other reference sheets and held in place by the adhesive. Since they are adhered along their lower edges, the organizational sheets can be placed in overlapping juxtaposition with only their upper areas showing; and, yet, each sheet can be read in its entirety from the top down without removing other sheets. The sheets can be adhered to, or removed from, the notebook pages or other reference sheets in any sequence.

Abstract: A bag having a plurality of pockets, including front and back panels made of plastic sheet material, the panels being adhered together along their side and bottom edges along seal lines, and the panels being secured together along their top edges by a resealable closure, and at least one transverse seal line substantially parallel to the side edges and running from the bottom edges to the resealable closure, the transverse seal line securing together the front and back panels to define a plurality of separated pockets. In a modification, a plurality of such front and back panels can all be secured together along their bottom edges to create additional pockets and the transverse seal lines may be secured to one another.

Abstract: A personal appliance, such as hair dryer, with enhanced shock hazard protection, and including a housing formed of two complementary and interfitting sections, electrical units mounted within the housing, a power cord leading to the housing, an IDCI on the power cord, and a sensing wire associated with the power cord leading from said housing to said IDCI, electroconductive coating on the internal surfaces of the housing sections, with the coating being electrically connected to the sensor wire, whereby water contacting the coating and the power cord or any of the electrical units will cause a voltage in the sensing wire and thereby trigger the IDCI.

Abstract: A game kit is provided with movable playing pieces, movable barriers, and a game board having a circumferential track. The track includes pluralities of sequential spaces to receive the movable pieces, as a player moves them around said track, and barrier spaces running across the width of the tracks to receive the movable barriers. The barrier spaces on the tracks are between pairs of the sequential spaces. The board also has two diametrical tracks, transverse to one another, interconnecting opposite sides of the circumferential track. The movable barriers are designed to interfit with one another such that the barriers may be stacked or interfitted end to end, to provide either extra height or extra length. As a result, one or more of the movable barriers can be positioned in the barrier spaces to provide variable height and length deterrents to moving the movable playing pieces in the circumferential track while playing the game.

Abstract: A hair setter unit for providing unusual forms of hair curling including a base and a plurality of heating posts on the base, a plurality of hair rollers having axial bores therein and fitting about the heating posts, the rollers having orthogonally asymmetrical cross-sections, and at least some of the rollers having different cross-sections than other of the rollers, such as rhombic, elliptical, and triangular, and spaced teeth along axially-aligned edges of the rollers.

Abstract: An integral thermoplastic sheet being formed of a plurality of separate sheets welded together in a longitudinal seam along their edges, the seam having been formed by the melting together of the inner surfaces of the separate sheets and being of uniform welded strength in a direction across the seam in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the seam.

Abstract: A metallic coated substrate capable of reaching a predetermined surface temperature upon being exposed to microwave energy of a known strength including a base, a metal coating on the base, the coating being formed in a plurality of discrete metal areas having predetermined surface resistivity, the size of the areas being below the arcing size for the surface resistivity, and the resisitivity being such that the predetermined surface temperature will be reached when the substrate is exposed to the microwave energy. Different areas on the base may contain discrete areas of different surface resistivity so that the different areas reach different temperatures. The spacing of the discrete areas may be varied so that the rate of energy emission from those areas differs.

Abstract: A game kit is provided with movable playing pieces, movable barriers, and a game board having a circumferential track. The track includes pluralities of sequential spaces to receive the movable pieces, as a player moves them around said track, and barrier spaces running across the width of the tracks to receive the movable barriers. The barrier spaces on the tracks are between pairs of the sequential spaces. The board also has two diamentrical tracks, transverse to one another, interconnecting opposite sides of the circumferential track. The movable barriers are designed to interfit with one another such that the barriers may be stacked or interfitted end to end, to provide either extra height or extra length. As a result, one or more of the movable barriers can be positioned in the barrier spaces to provide variable height and length deterrents to moving the movable playing pieces in the circumferential track while playing the game.

Abstract: A flush type wall mounted coaxial connector assembly is provided for interconnection of coaxial cables. The assembly uses a recessed wall plate having at least one internal side which is at an obtuse angle to the surface and carrying a coaxial cable connector. As a result, the cable interconnection will be behind the wall surface and the extending coaxial cable will run substantially parallel to the wall surface and not intrude excessively into the room.

Abstract: A tick remover for removing ticks for the skin of a man or an animal including an elongated handle, a wire loop formed integrally with the handle at one end the wire loop including a opening proximate to the handle which is large enough to receive the body of a the tick and a contiguous opening removed from the handle which is large enough to receive the neck of the tick but not large enough to receive the body of the tick, so that the contiguous opening may be fitted about the neck of the tick and the tick's head pulled from the skin.

Abstract: A curling iron is provided which is easy to assemble and, so, more economical to manufacture. The unit is molded in two snap-together halves, one half being the bottom portion (divided axially) and the other half being the top portion, and a molded spoon. The molded sections would include all the parts except for the electrical components. The curling iron is assembled by inserting the electrical components in one half, snapping the two halves together, and then snapping the spoon into place over the upper half. The molded sections are formed of a high temperature thermoplastic material. This material is transparent to infra-red rays; and, so, if an infra-red heater is used, the rays can pass through the plastic and heat the hair directly.
