Patent number: 7842020Abstract: A double diaper package includes adhesively attached, similarly sized inner and outer diapers. Each of the diapers has a liquid permeable skin contacting net and a liquid impermeable polymeric back sheet edge bonded to each other so as to surround and encase a super-absorber in a fibrous matrix. The inner diaper has an adhesive coated edge flap of the liquid impermeable sheet extending from the edge bond. This edge flap secures the outer diaper to the inner diaper, forming a double diaper package that is attached to the baby using waist-securing tabs connected to the inner diaper. When soiled, the inner diaper is pulled away by releasing the waist-securing tabs and the adhesive edge flap attachment. The fresh, clean, outer diaper is attached using the waist-securing tabs of the outer diaper. The inner soiled diaper is then discarded.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2006Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: I Did It, Inc.Inventor: Marni Markell Hurwitz

Patent number: 7814917Abstract: An add-on hairbrush for people, pets and livestock comprises a brush base with an internal cavity that includes a connection means. A vessel that houses a composition, liquid or powder, containing active ingredients is attached to the brush base. The composition containing active ingredients is transferred to the internal cavity of the brush base for release directly onto the hair during brushing. Delivery of the liquid/powder is activated during brushing through automatic deformation of a flexible deformable membrane or through manual depression of a deformable brush cover. The flexible deformable membrane includes bristle elements and delivery apertures or spray elements that carry and align with central spray apertures of spray elements for delivery of the composition containing active ingredients onto the hair. The vessel can act as a handle, and is a separate tube or container, that is preferably squeezable for transfer of the composition to the brush base.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2007Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: I Did It Inc.Inventor: Marni Markell Hurwitz

Patent number: 7748348Abstract: A collapsible animal litter pan has polymeric surfaces that are immune to urine soaking. A plurality of hinges collapse and expand the litter pan. The litter pan has sidewalls that locate, receive and stabilize a urine absorption sheet. The urine absorption sheet has a liquid impervious bottom layer, a urine absorption layer composed of cotton, cellulose fluff pulp, commuted pulp, soft wood fine chips, or hydrophilic paper and combinations thereof, together with superabsorbent polymers and a top, liquid permeable, layer. The top and bottom layers are bonded to constrain the urine absorbent layer. An adhesive coating is applied to the bottom layer of the urine absorption sheet for temporarily adhering the sheet to the foldable litter pan for enhanced stability of the urine absorption sheet. Animal urine is substantially completely absorbed by the urine absorbent sheet, and the soiled sheet replaced with a fresh sheet without soiling the litter pan.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2007Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: I Did It, Inc.Inventor: Marni Markell Hurwitz

Patent number: 7549396Abstract: A breakable odor control additive provides release of fragrance or odor masking scent when present in a litter formulation that is used by a cat or other animal within a litter box. The odor control additive comprises a plurality of fragrant-scented balls. Each of the balls has a central, compressible, porous, open-celled substrate, which is saturated with a fragrant scent. This central, fragrance-saturated substrate is coated with a barrier coating comprising soda ash, which prevents evaporation of the fragrance and protects the substrate against deterioration by urine and other contaminants deposited on the litter when cat or animal enters the litter box, a load is applied to the fragrant-scented balls. The barrier coating breaks, exposing the fragrant coated substrate, while the soda ash neutralizes urine acid and retards odor development fragrance evaporating from the substrate provides odor control and a pleasant scent.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2006Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: I DID IT, Inc.Inventors: Marni Markell Hurwitz, Dave Narasimhan, Ernest D.

Patent number: 7396976Abstract: A bandage remains securely attached to the skin of a wearer during extended exposure to arid, humid or wet conditions. The bandage is readily removed from the attached condition upon application of pressure to its exterior surface. Adhesive portions of the contain pockets or microcapsules filled with an adhesive-inactivating ingredient. The pockets are formed in the backing layer. Microcapsules, if present, are incorporated in the adhesive. The adhesive inactivating ingredient comprises oil from vegetable source, mineral source or fatty acids. The wearer ruptures the pockets or microcapsules by applying pressure to the bandage above the adhesive portions. The adhesive-inactivating ingredient is thereby released at the skin-adhesive interface, permitting an easy, pain-free removal of the bandage.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2006Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: I DID IT, Inc.Inventors: Marni Markell Hurwitz, Dave Narasimhan, Ernest D.

Patent number: 7337784Abstract: A hairbrush for people and pets releases a perfume, fragrance and/or other active compositions including insect repellant, hair conditioning composition, dye composition, moisturizing ingredients, or antibacterial compounds when brushed or activated by manually depressing a cover. The brush includes a flexible deformable membrane that carries brush bristles and has a plurality of apertures for delivery of the active composition and is fitted within a first opening of an internal cavity in a brush base. A porous sponge being saturated with the active ingredient is inserted over the flexible deformable membrane. A cover is inserted through a second opening and rests upon the porous sponge. Brushing action deforms the flexible deformable membrane and squeezes the sponge releasing the active ingredient. Manually depressing the cover also releases the active ingredient even though the bristles may not be in direct contact with the hair at that time.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2005Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: I Did It, Inc.Inventor: Marni Markell Hurwitz

Patent number: 7322364Abstract: A hairbrush for people and pets releases liquid gel perfume, fragrance and/or other active compositions including insect repellant, hair conditioning composition, dye composition, moisturizing ingredients, or antibacterial compounds when brushed or activated by manually depressing a cover. The brush includes a flexible deformable membrane with a plurality of apertures that carries and aligns with apertures in brush bristles for delivery of the liquid gel active composition and is fitted within a first opening of an internal cavity in a brush base. A porous sponge saturated with the liquid gel active ingredient is inserted over the flexible deformable membrane. A cover is inserted through a second opening and rests upon the porous sponge. Brushing action deforms the flexible deformable membrane and squeezes the sponge, releasing the active ingredient during brushing or when the cover is depressed manually.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2006Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: I Did It, Inc.Inventor: Marni Markell Hurwitz

Patent number: 7214262Abstract: A temporary cosmetic dental coating has a transparent resin matrix containing embedded glass microspheres. The refractive index of the microspheres is at least 0.03 greater than the refractive index of the transparent resin matrix. Incoming light is reflected back in the same direction as it was emanated, providing a lustrous dental coating that is cosmetically appealing and covers dental defects and discoloration. The transparent resin matrix with glass microspheres is formed by mixing together a methacrylate based liquid monomer of methyl methacrylate or BIS-GMA and glass microspheres coated with activators/catalysts. The user applies the mixed composition to the teeth to form a temporary cosmetic dental coating, which is readily removed using a dental pick. A lac resin dissolved in ethyl alcohol is optionally mixed with glass microspheres and applied to teeth surfaces. The coating is hardened by alcohol evaporation and removed by alcohol dissolution.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: I Did It, Inc.Inventors: Marni Markell Hurwitz, Dave Narasimhan
