Abstract: A garment steaming device includes a housing having a reservoir for containing liquid therein, a head portion connected to the housing, and a steam generator contained within the head portion, the steam generator being in fluid communication with the reservoir for generating steam from the liquid contained in the reservoir. The steam generator includes a first layer and a second layer and at least one heating element sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer. The first layer and the second layer define a steam flowpath that is configured such that steam flows back and forth between the first layer and the second layer before exiting the steam generator.

Abstract: A hair dryer include a housing having a handle portion, a head portion located an upper end of the handle, and a nozzle portion extending from the head portion, and at least one side switch located on a side of the head portion or the nozzle portion. The at least one switch is actuatable to effect a momentary deactivation of the hair dryer.

Abstract: A hair cutting system includes a handle defining a longitudinal axis, a strut mounted to the handle and a hair cutting blade assembly coupled to the strut. The cutting blade assembly includes a stationary blade defining cutting teeth having blade edges and a movable blade defining cutting teeth having blade edges and capable of reciprocal movement relative to the stationary blade in a horizontal direction. The movable blade and the stationary blade are movable relative to each other in a longitudinal direction to adjust a longitudinal position of the movable blade relative to the stationary blade to selectively vary a distance between the blade edges of the stationary blade and the blade edges of the movable blade. A releasable lock is configured to selectively lock and release the stationary blade and the movable blade with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction.

The at least one switch is actuatable to effect a momentary deactivation of the hair dryer.

Abstract: A method for customizing a hair appliance includes the steps of generating a rendering of a hair appliance to be customized, displaying the rendering of the hair appliance on a graphical display of a remote terminal, receiving user input through the remote terminal for modifying a characteristic of at least one feature of the hair appliance, generating a modified rendering of the hair appliance to be customized based upon the user input received, and, displaying the modified rendering of the hair appliance on the graphical display of the remote terminal.

Abstract: The beverage appliance of the present invention includes a venturi having a steam inlet and a milk inlet. The steam inlet and milk inlet each include a solenoid valve configurable between an open state and a closed state. The solenoid valves are electrically coupled to a processor and are controllable through first and second switches. In operation, upon activation of the first switch, the solenoid valves are controlled to their open states to deliver milk and steam to the venturi to produce frothed milk. When a desired amount of frothed milk has been dispensed, the user deactivates the first switch and the processor controls only the milk inlet solenoid valve to its closed state. The steam inlet solenoid valve remains in its open state for a predetermined amount of time such that a burst of steam only is forced through the venturi and distribution lines to purge them of milk.

Abstract: A handheld appliance for emitting steam to treat a fabric has a housing, a water reservoir, a pump, and a steam generator operatively connected to the pump. The housing has an annular steam emitting head having a hole passing through the steam head. The steam head has an outlet with a shape surrounding the hole so that steam inside the steam head is emitted out of the steam head through the outlet around the hole. A handheld appliance for emitting steam to treat a fabric also has a housing having a water reservoir, a pump, a steam generator operatively connected to the pump, and an outlet. The steam generator forms a steam path that has a first layer that extends from an inlet into the steam generator on a first side of a heater to a second layer that is on a second side of the heater opposite to the first layer.

Abstract: A massaging apparatus has a generally U-shaped housing with a central segment pivotably connected at a first end to a distal end of a first side segment and at a second end to a distal end of a second side segment. The segments are spring biased at their connections and the massaging apparatus includes rotatably mounted rollers that can spin when the apparatus is applied to a body part and a motor that vibrates when energized.

Abstract: A hair tool includes a handle portion and a plurality of bristles operatively connected to the handle, the bristles containing at least one therapeutic agent additive. The at least one therapeutic agent additive includes CBD or hemp seed oil.

Abstract: A hair clip includes a first paddle extending from a first tab. The first paddle has at least a portion with a width that is greater than a width of the first tab. A second paddle extends from a second tab. The second paddle has at least a portion with a width that is greater than a width of the second tab. The second tab is connected to the first tab. A biasing element is disposed between the first tab and the second tab. The biasing element applies a biasing force to both the first and second paddles such that in a rest position, the first and second paddles are in a closed position, and, in a use position, a first force is applied to the first tab and a second force is applied to the second tab such that the first tab and second tab are moved closer to one another and the first and second paddles are moved further apart from one another than in the rest position.

Abstract: A multiple nozzle attachment for a hair dryer is provided. The multiple nozzle attachment has at least two nozzles that concentrate air flow and optimize exiting air pressure while maximizing air flow volume.

Abstract: An ice cream roll maker includes a housing, a freezer wheel mounted within the housing and configured for rotation about a horizontal axis, and a reservoir within the housing for holding a liquid ingredient. An outer peripheral surface of the freezer wheel is configured to receive the liquid ingredient from the reservoir and transform the liquid ingredient into a frozen coating layer on the outer peripheral surface.

Abstract: A hair brush includes a housing and a cooling device in the housing. A comb is in thermally conductive contact with the cooling device and adapted to be cooled when thermal energy in the form of heat is transferred by the cooling device in a direction away from the comb. The comb has a hair contacting surface. The hair contacting surface comprises one or more teeth adapted to directly engage a user's hair.

Abstract: A hair brush includes a handle defining a longitudinal axis and a brush head having at least two longitudinal primary arms extending longitudinally from the handle and disposed in lateral spaced relation to define a longitudinal gap therebetween. Each of the longitudinal primary arms includes a pair of longitudinal rear spines disposed in lateral spaced relation, a single longitudinal intermediate spine extending from the rear spines, and a pair of longitudinal forward spines disposed in lateral spaced relation and extending from the intermediate spine. Hair engaging bristles are disposed on each of the rear spines, the intermediate spines and the forward spines. The at least two longitudinal primary arms are substantially flexible to conform to the contour of the user's head. A container containing a hair treatment agent such as dry shampoo may be releasably mounted to the handle.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an upper cooking surface and a lower cooking surface. The lower cooking surface employs a plurality of horizontally-offset apertures in each of the furrows formed in the lower cooking surface for facilitating the egress of cooking juices from the lower cooking surface.
