Abstract: An apparatus for grooming hair includes a hairbrush having a plurality of tines, a container for containing particulate matter, a vibrator for vibrating the hairbrush and an opening in the container, proximate to the tines, for dispensing the particulate matter amongst the tines when the hairbrush is vibrated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for dispensing fluid from a container. The apparatus includes a conduit, a brush head and a coupling. The conduit is operable to be placed in fluid communication with the container. The brush head has bristles, a fluid receiving opening for receiving the fluid and a fluid dispersing opening in communication with the fluid receiving opening for dispersing the fluid amongst the bristles. The coupling is operable to be placed in fluid communication with the conduit and cooperates with the brush head such that the brush head is movably secured to the coupling and moveable between first and second positions relative to the coupling. The coupling has a plug operable to plug the fluid receiving opening to prevent fluid from flowing from the conduit into the fluid receiving opening when the brush head is in the first position and to permit fluid to flow from the conduit into the fluid receiving opening when the brush head is in the second position.

Abstract: A thermal bandage apparatus for simultaneously dressing and thermally treating a wounded bodily area includes a fluid absorbent member having a wound contacting surface for absorbing bodily fluids produced by an open wound and holding means adjacent and connected to the fluid absorbent member for holding a thermal medium against the fluid absorbent member such that heat is transferred between the thermal medium and the open wound by thermal conduction through the fluid absorbent member. There is also disclosed an arrangement for providing a continuous supply of heat or cold to a wound.

Abstract: A tire traction apparatus for use on wheels having a rim and a tire where the rim has first and second upstanding, spaced apart side portions on opposite sides thereof, and outer facing braking surfaces thereon and the tire has first and second bead portions which cooperate with the first and second side portions to secure the tire to the rim. The apparatus includes a transversely extending member operable to extend transversely across the tire and includes first and second connecting devices cooperating with the tire for connecting the transversely extending member to opposite sides of the tire without interfering with the outer braking surfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus for grooming hair includes a hairbrush having a plurality of vibrating tines and facilities for emitting ultrasonic sound waves into the hair while grooming.

Abstract: A hair brush and mousse dispensing device comprises a body portion having a top end and a bottom end. The body portion includes a mechanism for connecting the device to a pressurized mousse dispensing cylinder, the mechanism for connecting being adjacent the bottom end. The top end of the body portion has a styling brush including a plurality of bristles or teeth spaced therearound. The device includes a mechanism for dispensing the mousse from the device which is disposed between a dispensing tip of the pressurized mousse dispensing cylinder and a dispensing aperture in the body portion. The device further includes a mechanism for providing access to the dispensing tip of the pressurized mousse dispensing cylinder.
