  • Patent number: 10299564
    Abstract: The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container includes a female screw portion provided with a female screw for screw engagement with a male screw of a rod-shaped cosmetic material support, a coil spring that restrains the female screw portion from moving forward in an axial direction, and a resin spring that restrains the female screw portion from moving rearward in the axial direction. An impact in the axial direction that acts on the female screw portion is absorbed by one spring, and an impact due to a restoring force at the time of restoration of one spring is absorbed by the other spring, whereby a rod-shaped cosmetic material supported by the rod-shaped cosmetic material support put in screw engagement with the female screw portion is sufficiently protected.

  • Patent number: 10118433
    Abstract: Devices have a flexible housing with an inside chamber having a closed and open end. A first chemiluminescent fluid is disposed in a breakable container in the chamber, and a second chemiluminescent fluid is in the chamber. A tip assembly is attached to the housing and includes a nib movably disposed in the body, and a filter element may be positioned within the body to prevent passage of broken particles from the container to the nib tip. A resilient element is used to impose an outward biasing force on the nib. A porous material is disposed over an outer surface of the nib tip and securely held in place. The device is activated for use by bending the housing to break the container causing the first and second chemiluminescent fluids to mix and react, providing a chemiluminescent solution that flows to the tip assembly for dispensing onto a desired surface.

  • Patent number: 10116255
    Abstract: A solar panel cleaning system includes a brush connected by a hose to a fluid supply. The brush has scrubbing material, such as bristles, attached to a brush body for mechanically cleaning the surface of the solar panel. The width of the contact surface of the scrubbing material may be equal to the width of the solar panel, so that the solar panel may be cleaned with only upward and downward strokes. The brush body may further support a fluid manifold that receives the fluid from the fluid supply. The fluid manifold may include nozzles that emit the fluid under pressure onto the solar panel. The nozzles may project both frontward and rearward of the brush body so that the fluid sprays off the solar panel in front of and behind the brush. Spray patterns of the nozzles may overlap and impinge the entire width of the solar panel.
