Abstract: A detachable oscillating unit is provided which converts a conventional wet shave razor, such as a disposable razor, into an oscillating wet shave razor. The oscillating unit includes a body forming a hollow interior cavity and a pair of attachment members which are fixed to the body for removably attaching the body to the handle of the razor. The attachment members form a longitudinal channel which receives the handle therein and the handle is resiliently clamped or gripped therebetween. The oscillating unit also includes an electric motor mounted within the hollow interior cavity which has a rotatable shaft extending therefrom, an eccentric weight connected to the shaft and disposed within the hollow cavity, and a battery operatively connected to the motor. The motor rotates the eccentric weight to provide a vibration signal which is transmitted from the motor, through the body and the attachment members, to the handle of the razor where it is transmitted to a cutting blade.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a portable motorized suitcase which can operate in either self-propelled or manual modes. The suitcase includes an extendable handle which is provided with a multi-position switch, allowing the user to selectively control the speed of the suitcase when in the self-propelled mode, as well as allowing the user to choose between modes of operation. A motor, which is controlled by the multi-position switch located on an extendable handle, conveys power to the ground engaging wheel via a centrifugal clutch arrangement. The clutch allows the motor to propel the suitcase when it is in the self-propelling mode while not hindering the rolling of the wheels when the motor is in the manual mode. Therefore, the motor and clutch arrangement either turns the wheels or allows them to free-wheel, depending upon the operator's positioning of the multi-position switch. Transition between modes of operation occurs automatically in accordance with user manipulation of the switch.

Abstract: An inexpensive collapsible umbrella which is made entirely from plastic and which has an integral cover or case formed from cylindrical segments affixed to the canopy frame with the canopy partially sandwiched therebetween has been disclosed. The canopy support frame is formed from a plurality of articulated canopy support arms, each having three ribs and a strut connected to one another through living hinges so that the arms can be folded with the ribs at least partially overlapping one another. The umbrella can be folded into a compact cylindrical shape for convenient storage and handling.
