Abstract: A body lotion applicator with an extended applicator head for reaching the back and other portions of the body that are difficult to reach. An elongate arm serves as a handle and conduit for conducting body lotions from a conventional bottle to the applicator head. The applicator head includes a face plate and porous sponge affixed thereto by a retaining ring. The sponge preferably consists of an outer layer of a small cell, open-cell foam and an inner body of a large cell, open-cell foam. The sponge is detachable from the head and is replaceable with a coarse-celled exfoliative sponge or similar sponge assembly.

Abstract: A self-defense/attack device comprises a rigid, tubular body having a blunt tip at one end that is adapted to deliver lethal/non-lethal blows to the chest or other regions of a human body. Joined to the tubular body at a substantially right angle to the longitudinal axis of the body and closer to the end opposite the blunt tip is a rigid projection shorter in length and smaller in circumference than the body itself. The projection terminates in a rounded blunt tip that can also deliver lethal/non-lethal blows to an attacker.

Abstract: An insulated window shade assembly includes a pleated, two-ply window shade and two cooperable guide rails which are adapted for attachment to the side walls of a window casing. The shade consists of two pleated plys, which in the preferred embodiment are interconnected by means of draw strings which pass through the pleats. The edges of the pleated plys are shaped so that the unfolding of the pleats as the shade is lowered results in the edges forming an air-tight seal with the guide rails when the shade is fully lowered. As the shade is raised the edges of the pleated plys partially draw away from the guide rails to as to facilitate raising and lowering of the shade.

Abstract: An apparatus for preservation of a leather glove. A hollow perforated hand-shaped form, sized to fit snugly within a glove, contains a dehydrating agent which draws moisture out of the glove. The form and glove are insertable in a protective case. The case includes a porous inner lining which is impregnated with a leather emollient. The combined action of the dehydrating agent and the emollient-impregnated lining is to remove moisture, thereby preventing the formation of mold or mildew, and at the same time infuse the emollient into the glove to maintain its suppleness and flexibility.

Abstract: An abrasion resistant, impact absorbent animal stall floor and wall covering comprises a liquid impermeable ionomer resin layer having an aggregate thickness of at least about 5 mils superimposed upon a foamed resin layer having an aggregate thickness of at least 200 mils and an aggregate density in the range of from about 0.50 to about 10.0.
