  • Patent number: 7306569
    Abstract: The systems described herein provide an improved skin care system including a handheld device having a contact head movable in a three-dimensional orbital manner having a contact surface for contacting the skin. A skin care product can be applied to the skin via the contact surface. The contact head is adaptable to skin and body contours. The handheld device can include an activatable motion system for moving the contact surface in an angular orbital manner about an axis normal to the surface. The motion system can also cause the contact surface to deflect in a direction and radially rotate the direction of deflection in a clockwise or counter-clockwise manner. The orbital rotation can be continuous, stepped, random and the like.

  • Patent number: 5450864
    Abstract: The present application relates to artificial nail tips, particularly artificial nail tips which have an attachment area with an axial curvature and a cut-out portion which provide a comfortable and conforming fit to a variety of natural nails while maintaining structural integrity. The axial curvature of the attachment area of the nail tips is of a dual radius design which provides a more comfortable and conformable fit while helping to maintain the structural integrity of the nail tip. The cut-out portion of the nail tips is of a "V" shape which allows the nail tip attachment area to deform with less structural resistance while maintaining structural integrity. It is preferable that the V shaped cut out be at least slightly rounded at its apex to provide even greater structural integrity when the nail tip is deformed.
