  • Patent number: 10806551
    Abstract: A floss holder includes a housing and a spindle for receiving floss and a fork having two ends between which the feed portion of the floss is secured for use. A first locking plate is operable for receiving a feed portion and a return portion of the floss upon a horizontal surface thereof. A second locking plate is operable to engage the first locking plate, where a distal end of the second locking plate engages the feed portion and the return portion to substantially constrain the feed portion of the floss on the fork and the return portion, applying tension along the feed portion and the return portion. A number of protrusions assist in retaining the feed portion and preventing the tape floss from slippage while reducing the friction around the fork; the protrusions are located at the base of the fork and inside the floss holder.

  • Patent number: 10736394
    Abstract: Hair curling devices comprise a length of multi-stranded solid copper wire having ring crimp terminals secured to opposing ends. A fabric tube is situated about the length of multi-stranded copper wire and has first and second end portions that define corresponding fabric holes. The fabric tube is secured to the ring crimp terminals and prior to attachment, is longer that the wire/ring crimp terminal assembly so that the fabric tube is gathered about the multi-stranded copper wire. Hair bundles captured by the hair curling device form hair curls after a suitable exposure period. In some examples, flexible members other than copper wire are used, and the fabric tube and the wire/ring crimp terminal assembly can be secured to form a straight section or to form a loop.

  • Patent number: 10602835
    Abstract: A hair brush system with a rapid, consistent, and efficient means for connecting and ejecting the brush handle from the brush head. The hair brushes feature a strong support member structure that gives the hairbrush strength while the handle and brush head are connected. The handle has a pair of barbed ejection fingers that engage and retain the brush head. When separation of the brush handle and the brush head is desired, the user depresses an actuator associated with each ejection finger. The compressed ejection finger has a tip that comes into contact with a conical protrusion in the brush head. The resulting action first disengages the brush head and then causes an outward force to be applied to the brush head thereby ejecting it from the handle.
