Abstract: The shaving instrument has a handle; a pair of elongated arms extending from the handle and having upper portions defining an adjustable cartridge-receiving space there between; a pair of mounts disposed on the upper portions of the arms to engage opposing outer walls of a blade cartridge; a construction for providing a releasable holding force between the mounts and the opposing outer walls; and a construction for controlling pivotal movement of the blade cartridge.

Abstract: Disclosed is a apparatus which functions as a personal body-drying device for an individual whose skin is wet immediately after a bath or shower. The device is essentially a rug attached atop a platform, with the said rug exposed at its bottom surface to at least one plenum chamber, or to a network of ducting. Both the rug and the network of ducting are constructed with regularly-spaced, co-located openings through which heated air is propelled. In the optimum mode of operation, each plenum chamber contains an electric heating element over which passes air driven by fans which are attached, at their air outlets, to the respective plenum chambers.

Abstract: A wind operated heating device is operated by a rotor. The heater has a liquid reservoir and a rotary element which is immersed in the liquid in the reservoir. The rotary element is driven by the rotor so as to heat the liquid. The rotor is connected to the rotary element by a shaft. A shield is arranged to rotate with the rotary element and is movable relative thereto such that the position of the shield member relative to the rotary element varies in dependence on the rotation speed of the rotary element so that the shield member provides a greater resistance to rotation at higher than at lower speeds of rotation.
