Patent number: 8367134Abstract: A method for applying a color image to a non-planar comestible may include applying a color image onto a substantially planar carrier and deforming the carrier to form a non-planar relief mold of a three-dimensional image, including deforming the color image whereby the deformed color image is proportionate relative to, i.e., is in register with, the three-dimensional image. A comestible material, e.g., chocolate or a gelatinous edible composition, may be deposited into the relief mold to substantially overlie the color image. The comestible material may be removed from the relief mold, with the color image applied thereto. In one implementation, the color image may be applied to the substantially planar carrier by screen printing one or more colors forming the color image onto the carrier using an edible ink composition.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: DecoPac, Inc.Inventors: James F. Woodhouse, Stan Holtom, John R. Russell, Angela Wright, Fergal Keohane

Patent number: 7761937Abstract: A modified shower head provides a timepiece imbedded within a shower head insert allowing a person showering to keep track of time and also to monitor water usage. It also provides the person showering with a timing mechanism to determine the length of time for use of hair products, tints, dyes and treatments without having to reference an outside timepiece. The insert comprises a timepiece within an encased water-proof enclosure within the shower head insert.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2008Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Inventors: Gregory J. Foutz, Angela A. Wright, Tarek A. Bawab
