Abstract: By providing two endless loop belt drive assemblies forming a belt driven sealing section, a highly efficient and effective automatic, universally applicable, container closing system has been achieved which is capable of securely lockingly engaging both locking lug/receiving well containers and perimeter seal containers. In the present invention, the two cooperating endless loop belt drive systems are mounted in juxtaposed, spaced, cooperating relationship with each other and are positioned for simultaneously closing and securely engaging the entire locking elements formed on the flanges of one side of the container. In addition, the spaced distance between the two belt drive assemblies is adjustable, as well as the position of the spaced distance relative to a conveyor. In this way, all containers are to be closed by this system.

Abstract: By providing a continuous, elongated strip of material, which comprises an arcuately curved section in combination with at least one flange section extending outwardly from the curved section, an efficient, easily manufactured, and readily installed protector shield is realized. By employing the shield construction of the present invention, any desired tube, pipe, conduit or cable, such as a non-metallic electrical power carrying cable, is capable of being completely surrounded by a protective shield which is affixed directly to any support wall, such as a concrete or cinder block wall, with both ease and convenience. In addition, numerous other tubes, cables, and conduits, such as water carrying tubes, low-voltage cables, signal carrying cables, and other utility tubes, pipes, and conduits are capable of being similarly protected.

Abstract: By providing certain quaternary terpolymers as an integral ingredient in hair coloring formulations, substantially improved and enhanced hair conditioning benefits are attained, providing a highly effective, hair coloring composition which also provides conditioning benefits to the hair fibers. In addition, the conditioning benefits and effects are long lasting and capable of being retained by the hair fibers for up to four weeks.

Abstract: Provided are a preparation process of a copolymer for semiconductor lithography, suited for a film forming composition used for the formation of minute patterns necessary for semiconductor fabrication, which comprises carrying out radical polymerization of at least two monomers having an ethylenic double bond in the presence of a polymerization initiator in a polymerization solvent, while causing to exist, in the solution containing the monomers, a polymerization inhibitive component; and a copolymer for semiconductor lithography prepared by the above-described process, and contains no high polymer, has excellent storage stability and generates remarkably less defects in resist pattern when used for semiconductor lithography.

Abstract: By providing an integrated base member and cover member, with the cover member being easily arcuately pivotable along one edge and easily fastened to the base member along the opposed edge, an easily manufactured and easily assembled conduit/cable connector is realized. Furthermore, by employing the conduit/cable connector of the present invention, any desired flexible metal conduit and/or armored or metal clad cable is quickly and easily secured to the connector for mounting thereof to an outlet box or junction box at right angles, with complete assurance that the entire mounting operation can be achieved by a single operator quickly and easily.

Abstract: By providing a beard and mustache trimmer construction wherein a single motor driven element is employed for directly operating both the main cutting blades as well as a pop-up trimmer, an easily employed, efficient, beard and mustache trimmer is realized. The trimmer is constructed in a manner which enables the pop-up trimmer to be directly driven by the same element which drives the principal cutting blades. In this way, greater power is delivered to the pop-up trimmer element than has otherwise been attained with prior art systems as well as providing substantially reduced noise levels. As a result, a substantially enhanced cutting and trimming system is realized.

Abstract: Disclosed is a removable edge guard (10) for installation close to an edge of a vehicle door or the like. The edge guard is made of polymeric material for removable installation on a vehicle door having a trim. The edge guard (10) comprises:—a bumper (12) section and—two planar sections (14), each adjoining said bumper section,—said bumper section (12) comprising a U-shaped portion conceived to bridge said trim of said vehicle door and extending laterally over said edge of said vehicle door,—said planar sections (14) comprising means to removably install said guard on said edge of said vehicle door.

Abstract: By providing a plurality of portals in a housing which forms a hair dryer attachment which is merely fixed to the exist portal of any conventional hair dryer, a hair dryer attachment is realized which is capable of substantially reducing the drying time required for drying the hair of any individual, while also being easily employed and comfortable. In the preferred embodiment, at least one raised, sloping panel is formed adjacent the inlet portal of the attachment with the panel sloping outwardly from the generally circular shaped inlet portal. In addition, a plurality of apertures or portals are formed in the panel for enabling ambient air to freely flow therethrough. In this way, the heated air flowing through the central portion of the attachment creates a low-pressure zone on the inside surface of the portals, drawing ambient air through the portals into the interior of the hair dryer attachment, thereby enabling the quantity of the air reaching the hair of the user is substantially increased.

Abstract: By achieving an extruded, foamed core formed from plastic material peripherally surrounded and integrally bonded with a plurality of cooperating synthetic, plastic, extruded, outer layers, a unique, multi-component, multi-layer synthetic closure is provided which may be employed as a bottle closure or stopper for any desired product, whether the product is a liquid, a viscous material, or a solid distributed in a bottle or container and dispensed through the open portal of the container neck. The present invention achieves a mass producible, resilient, synthetic bottle closure which is employable for any desired bottle, including wine. By employing the present invention, a multi-component or multi-layer synthetic closure is attained which possesses physical properties substantially equal to or better than the physical properties found in cork material, which has caused such cork material to be the principal closure material for wine bottles.

Abstract: A therapeutic eye and eyelid cover provides heated saturated air to the covered tissue and a transparent front (18, 19) to enable clear vision during use. The cover includes heating means (17) and means (22) for saturating the air enclosed against the face with water vapor, preventing evaporation from the eye and eye lids and enhancing heat transfer to the covered tissue. The transparent front is constructed to prevent condensation and maintain clear vision at all times during use.
