  • Patent number: 7464440
    Abstract: The ergonomic appliance handle is an extension handle that is attachable to a carrying or transport handle on a canister style vacuum cleaner or similar floor appliance. The ergonomic appliance handle provides an elongated handle shaft that is attached to the canister vacuum's handle at a proximate end of the handle shaft by a mounting assembly. The handle shaft extends angled upward, away from the vacuum, placing a handgrip at the distal end of the handle shaft at an ergonomically comfortable height and position for a user to easily and conveniently operate the vacuum in a comfortable posture without subjecting the user to unnecessary bending, stooping, or twisting.

  • Publication number: 20050044764
    Abstract: A sign unit to display an item comprises two parts, a display head and a stake. The display head has a front frame, a rear frame, and a base integral with and extending downwardly from the front frame. The rearward side of the front frame periphery extends forwardly and outwardly to define a cavity. The rear frame has a forward and outwardly extending lip that is detachably secured within the cavity to close the display head and securely retain an item placed between the frames. The display head can comprise various shapes, which can be interchangeable with one housing. The stake has a first acute end, and a second opposed end. The second end has integral therewith a housing and a striking ledge wherein the base is releasably mounted within the housing, and the striking ledge is used to pound or drive the sign unit into the ground.

  • Patent number: 4925666
    Abstract: The solubilized benzoyl peroxide is made by mixing a heated combination of crystalline benzoyl peroxide with silicone glycol copolymer wherein the temperature of the mixture is in the range from 45.degree. to 65.degree. C. The benzoyl peroxide is no longer in crystallized form and hence the benzoyl peroxide is solubilized in the silicone glycol copolymer. The cosmetic solution includes a solubilized benzoyl peroxide as described above. Further, an independent mixture of alcohol, acetone and water is made. The solubilized benzoyl peroxide is then mixed with the second mixture (alcohol, acetone and water). The resulting cosmetic solution is very stable and the benzoyl peroxide remains in solution, i.e., an analysis of the cosmetic solution does not show any crystalline benzoyl peroxide. Further, primary irritation tests indicate this solution to be minimally irritating which is important for its use as a vehicle for topical application.
