  • Patent number: 5954441
    Abstract: A cosmetic applicator includes a hollow tubular insert axially mounted in a hollow tubular body member for joint rotational movement. The forward end of the insert has at least one longitudinal slit which permits the insert to be in an open condition. A piston is axially mounted in the insert. The piston has a threaded outer surface disposed for threaded engagement with a threaded inner surface of the forward end of the insert. The threaded surfaces are brought into engagement with each other by mounting a cosmetic containing cartridge in between the forward end of the insert and the forward end of the body member until the cosmetic is received in a cup at the forward end of the piston. The components are dimensioned to form a plurality of seals at spaced locations on the inner surface of the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 5813954
    Abstract: Thus, the invention lets the user perform a whole group of buttock developing motions, working the muscle from many different angles. These motions are enhanced, through the addition of resistance. The resistance may be varied by adjusting the length of the cords and/or interchanging cords of different elastic strengths. The exercise device further has cords and a shoulder and/or neck piece attachment.

  • Patent number: 5527253
    Abstract: A combination twister and stepper device includes a stepper unit and a twister unit in combination with a common frame. The stepper unit has a pair of side by side steps, each of which is biased upwardly. The twister includes a turntable or disk on a pivotal mount. The stepper and twister are secured to a frame which includes a pair of pivotal poles. The stepper and twister may be used simultaneously while also using the poles or the stepper and twister may be selectively inactivated so that only one of the units could be used.

  • Patent number: 5460586
    Abstract: A universally adaptable adjustable arm exercise device to supplement leg exercising includes a leg exercising unit having a foot contact surface. A pole is mounted adjacent each of two opposite sides of the foot contact surface. The mounting is accomplished by each pole being mounted to a mounting bracket secured to the leg exercise unit. A hinge pin extends from each bracket with a respective pole pivotally mounted to one of the hinge pins. An adjustable resistance device is provided on each of the hinge pins with a resistance setting member on each hinge pin for controlling the resistance force required for a user to pivot the poles back and forth and thereby provide an arm exercise simultaneously with the use of the leg exercise unit. The poles could be part of a self contained unit which could slide under various types of leg exercise units.
