The preferred modification of the proportion:ratio being 1.3:1; the preferred range being between 0.8:1 and 1.8:1 as a measurement ratio.

Abstract: A sanitary pet-waste collection pouch having front, rear and side-walls defining an interior open topped chamber for holding tied pet-waste loaded plastic litter bags containing retrieved pet-waste. The rear wall is extended forming a unitary flap cover having interior opening and exterior opening pockets on opposite sides threof. The exterior opening pocket is closed by a “hook and pile” Velcro closure. An open topped side-pocket having a restricted bottom opening is secured along a side-wall of the pouch. A sanitizer dispensing container with a dispensing cap is seated securely within the side-pocket with the dispensing cap passing through the restricted bottom opening. The flap cover carries the “hook” portion of a second “hook and pile” Velcro closure and the front wall carries the “pile” portion of said closure, the “pile” portion being longer than the “hook” portion and being located on the front wall.

Abstract: There is disclosed a soft skin make-up mannequin head having an "ideal" facial configuration, the make-up mannequin head having a smooth, realistic surface and texture simulative of human skin. The make-up mannequin head is accompanied by at least one flexible, soft-skin companion mask carrying a facial configuration identical with the facial configuration carried by said make-up mannequin head. The companion mask is stretchable and elastically resilient and mountable tightly upon said make-up mannequin head and selectively removable therefrom. The make-up mannequin head and associated companion mask presented particularly is intended for the teaching, training and practice of application of permanent make-up using tattoo techniques.

Abstract: A hair roller assembly formed of a light-weight, concentricaly arranged porous flexible tubular outer sleeve of plastic woven fabric-like material, perforate at least semi-flexible resilient tubular plastic inner support sleeve and a concentrically arranged perforate tubular intermediate sleeve formed of highly heat conductive material and between said outer and inner sleeves, said sleeves being surface to surface engaged with the outer sleeve positively secured to the perforate tubular inner support sleeve and said outer sleeve having spaced bands of outwardly extending flexible filament projections provided with hair-grasping hook-shaped ends.

Abstract: The invention provides pre-fabricated self-contained building panels, including a panel incorporating a truss structure as a part thereof, and combinations thereof. The panels include a skeletal assembly comprising generally an array of plural structural steel channels, rigid sheeting proximate to said channels, support members adjacent the rigid sheeting, the channels supported between suitable base plates, angles for defining portions of said skeletal assembly and a forming structure as a part of said skeletal assembly, said skeletal assembly and forming structure being oriented horizontally on a planar surface. A self-hardening material, such as concrete, clay, etc. is introduced to the forming structure for embedding at least a portion of said skeletal assembly. The forming structure becomes an integral part of the completed building panel and is not disassembled therefrom.

Abstract: A food service and storage foodstuff holding container assembly formed of pair of matched open-faced upper and lower dishes and an interconnecting member having a perforate floor,the upper dish containing a foodstuff and the lower dish containing a liquid. The interconnecting member is frictionally seated within the lower dish. The upper dish is inverted and frictionally engaged with the interconnecting member to form the container assembly. Oppositely opening wells are carried along the periphery of the interconnecting member, a bead formation is within each well. The rim of the dishes seat within the wells while the interconnecting member is frictionally seated within the dishes, the bead formation tightly engaging the rims to supplement the frictional engagement of interconnecting member and the dishes, maintaining such engagement from unwanted disassembly. Once assembled, the container is inverted without separation of the dishes, even if shaken.

Abstract: A threaded attachment rod for use in assisting the installation of an electrical fixture to a structurally mounted electrical junction box. The attachment rod has opposite threaded end portions, one end threadably engagable with the junction box and an opposite end portion. The attachment rod has a fastener engaged with the opposite end thereof and a notch formed at a predetermined location between the ends thereof. The fastener is adapted to support the fixture temporarily at a distance from the junction box sufficient to provide access sufficient to complete an electrical connection between the wires from the junction box and from the electrical device carried by the fixture. An upset portion is formed in a threaded length of the attachment rod above the notch.

Abstract: A sculpture provided with a concavity carrying a relief negative impression of a formation representing a true object, the formation having selected features of proportion:ratio selectively of height:width, of length:width and of depth:width different (1.3:1) compared to the corresponding proportion:ratio of the true object as 1:1. Observing the sculpture under a light source while moving provides a three-dimensional virtual illusion where the sculpture appears to move in the direction of movement of the observer, like following the observer.
