  • Patent number: 5456370
    Abstract: An adjustable tilt construction for a toothbrush display rack. The rear wall of the rack is provided with one or more T slots, each slot receiving one of two parallel flanges of a respective leg, said leg being generally H shaped in transverse cross section over at least a portion of its length. One flange of each leg is shorter than the other, and is asymmetrically located with respect to it so as to yield two different distances from the ends of the shorter flange to respective ends of the longer flange. This leg configuration permits three different leg heights by inserting each leg into a respective slot in three different ways. In turn, this permits three different tilt angles for the display rack. Each leg has at least one end having biased edges which releasably frictionally fit into the T shaped slots on the rear wall of the rack. The leg and slot configuration may also be used on any member to provide height adjustment.

  • Patent number: 5446940
    Abstract: A toothbrush whose tufts comprise three distinct groups of rows, with each row oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the head. The tufts of the first group are the shortest. The endmost tufts on each row of the second kind tilt laterally outwardly by about 12 degrees. The tufts of the third group are nearest the end of the head farthest from the handle and diverge from each other. In one embodiment, each tuft of the third kind tilts laterally at an angle of about 30 degrees and forwardly at about 14 degrees. In a first embodiment, each row of the first group comprises a single, wide tuft. In a second embodiment, each row of the first group has a plurality of laterally spaced round tufts. In a third embodiment, each row of the first group comprises a plurality of laterally spaced quadrangular tufts. All of the tufts may also be considered as defining four functional groups of tufts, with each of these four groups performing a specific function during brushing.

  • Patent number: 5415857
    Abstract: A hair conditioning shampoo, of improved fiber conditioning properties, includes an aminosilicone of the amodimethicone type, of a certain formula, and an aqueous medium for the aminosilicone, which serves as a carrier for it. Preferably, the carrier is an aqueous anionic shampoo medium that also contains a cationic surfactant hair conditioning agent, such as a quaternary ammonium salt, and more preferably it also contains hydrocarbon components, such as microcrystalline wax and petrolatum and/or polyethylene and mineral oil, which promote further improvement in conditioning effects on human hair. The invention is also of hair conditioning processes and combined shampooing and hair conditioning operations, and of processes for manufacturing the invented conditioning shampoos.

  • Patent number: 5407085
    Abstract: An adjustable tilt construction for a display rack. The rear wall of the rack is provided with one or more T slots, each slot receiving one of the two parallel flanges of a respective leg, the latter generally H shaped in transverse cross section over at least a portion of its length. One flange of each leg is shorter than the other, and is asymmetrically located with respect to it so as to yield two different distances from the ends of the shorter flange to respective ends of the longer flange. This leg configuration permits three different leg heights by inserting each leg into a respective slot in three different ways. In turn, this permits three different tilt angles for the display rack. The leg and slot configuration may also be used on a table to provide height adjustment, the legs and slots operating in the same manner as in the display rack.
