Abstract: A dispenser for discharging a flowable medium, having an elongate storage container which receives the flowable medium, has an essentially constant inner cross-section, bears a manually actuable, suction-type discharge device at the top and contains a follow-on plunger which forms a base in the storage container and is in close contact with a dischargeable quantity of free-flowing medium. In order to provide a dispenser of the abovementioned type which is of simple construction and is subject to low wear, it is provided that the plunger is made up of a circumferentially closed-cell flexible foam, which has little or no capacity for adhesion, and is provided with a slightly oversized circumferential surface with respect to the inner cross-section of the storage container, with the result that the plunger can slide along the inner wall of the storage container.

Abstract: A curler whose diameter increases in size as hair is being wound up by, at least at the beginning of a winding-up process, laying the self-gripping tape strip in one or more turns around the curling core and thus building up self-gripping tape material on the curling core. Since, due to the outwardly projecting protrusions, the self-gripping tape material is of a given thickness, with every turn produced by the self-gripping tape strip on the curling core, the diameter of the curler is increased. With a selected length of the self-gripping tape strip it can be achieved that the self-gripping tape is wound on the curler with complete surrounding layers providing an increased diameter which is present for the entire circumferential surface of the curler. The result is a universal curler with which a relatively large width of different hair lengths can be retained. A curler of this type replaces a plurality of self-sticking curlers of different diameter, requiring little sales space.

Abstract: Container for storing two different substances, having a first compartment containing a liquid, a second compartment containing another liquid, a separating body which separates the two compartments, and a puncturing device comprising a tool which breaks the separating body when required and can be moved by hand by means of at least one transmitting part which transmits compression forces, such that the transmitting part is designed as a puncturing device comprising a press member having a press shank which is lengthened upon appliance of a lateral squeezing force onto the side walls of the compartment containing the puncturing device.

Abstract: A hair curler which exhibits a winding member with an increasable diameter using a flag-shaped length is rolled up together with a lock of hair providing after each turn a winding member with an increased diameter depending on the thickness of the flag-shaped length and the lock of hair in-between. The number of turns can be chosen in line with a user's hair length and the desired hair curler diameter. The flag-shaped length is rolled onto the winding member together with a lock of hair increasing the winding member diameter depending on the length of the flag-shaped length and the number of turns rolled onto the winding member. Good retaining force of the curler is achieved by use of a self-gripping tape having projecting hooks, pins or bristles, which are preferably formed by cut-open loops of a nylon monofilament, thus resulting in hooks. The hooks may be deformed to mushroom-like bristles by heat process.

Abstract: Container for storing two different substances, having a first compartment containing a liquid, a second compartment containing another liquid, a separating body which separates the two compartments, and a tool which breaks the separating body when required and can be moved by hand by means of at least one transmitting part which transmits compression forces, such that the force-transmitting direction of the transmitting part 5 lies at an angle to the direction of movement 6 of the tool 4, and that the transmitting part 5 is rotatably attached by one of its ends to the tool 4 and by its other end to the inside wall 9 of the container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a curler having a roller made of a plastic or latex material and a self-gripping tape which is seated thereon, the self-gripping tape covering a central portion of a circumferential surface of the roller designed as a soft roll and consisting of a closed-cell foam, and the roller exhibiting, on both sides of the central portion, in each case one uncovered portion which occupies from 18 to 35% of a length of the roller.

Abstract: A hair roller or curler, especially for permanent waving, e.g. cold waving, which has between larger diameter end members, a tubular grid upon which the hair is wound and through which a treating liquid can be forced downwardly.

Abstract: A hair winder having a winding member on which the hair can be wound, a strip of foil being so attached to the winding member that the strip can be wound onto the winding member together with the hair.

Abstract: Disclosed is an oral applicator for the application of an active substance in the form of a hollow structure corresponding substantially in shape and dimensions to an external form of a crown of one or more natural teeth and adapted to contain the active substance, the hollow structure having one or more passage openings for the controlled release of certain amounts of the active substance, the passage openings being a buccal and/or palatal or lingual portion for the passage of saliva and of the active substance dissolved therein.
