Abstract: An insulating sleeve for a beverage container is disclosed. The insulating sleeve for a beverage container includes a first flexible cloth layer, having a first side and a second side defined by a first straight edge, a second straight edge opposite the first straight edge, a first curved edge, and a second curved edge opposite the first curved edge, the first and second straight edges being generally perpendicular to the first and second curved edges.

Abstract: A hair rod for permanently waving hair has a hollow body rod and a cap, secured to the body by an elastic band. A first and second end plates are positioned on respective ends of the body. A plurality of outwardly extending projections formed on an outer surface of the body between the first and the second end plates facilitate retaining of hair on the rod during the rolling process. The body has an elongated opening for receiving and retaining perm paper on the rod and a plurality of through openings to facilitate rinsing of liquid solutions from the hair. The hollow cap has large openings and a plurality of outwardly extending longitudinal and cross ribs that facilitate retaining of liquid solutions on the hair. The cap has a lengthwise slit, and is sufficiently resilient to permit the lengthwise slit to be selectively widened to snap over the body to thereby closely encircle the body and help retain rolled hair on the rod body.

Abstract: A device for permanently curling hair has a hair rod, a cap, and an optional elastic band for attaching the cap to the hair rod. The hair rod is formed as a cylindrical hollow body. A first and second end plates are positioned on respective ends of the body. A plurality of outwardly extending projections formed on an outer surface of the body between the first and the second end plates facilitate retaining of hair on the rod during the rolling process. The body has a pair of diametrically opposite elongated slots that help retain pieces of perm paper on the hair and the rod, and a plurality of openings extending through the body that facilitate free water and perming solution flow through the hair rod. The cap has a lengthwise slit, and is sufficiently resilient to permit the lengthwise slit to be selectively widened by hands to snap over the body to thereby closely encircle the body with the mesh cap.
