Abstract: A splatter guard for engagement with a pot or pan to prevent splatters of food and liquid on surfaces surrounding the pot or pan. The splatter guard includes a base that engage an upper edge of side wall of the pot or pan; an aperture defined by the base and aligns with an opening to an interior of the pot or pan; and a plurality of petals operatively engaged with the base. Each petal of the plurality of petals is pivotable relative to the base. The plurality of petals is selectively movable between a first position and a second position; and, when in the first position, the plurality of petals allows access to the interior of the pot or pan through the aperture defined by the base; and, when in the second position, the plurality of petals prevents access to the interior of the pot or pan through the aperture.

Abstract: A device and method for lifting eyeglasses off a person's nose and supporting at least some of the weight of the eyeglasses. The device includes a base encircling part of the person's head. At least one support extends from the base and operatively engages an arm of the eyeglasses. The at least one support includes first and second front supports and first and second temporal supports. Each arm of the eyeglasses rests on an upper surface of one of the first and second front supports and under a lower surface of one of the first and second temporal supports. Each arm is counterbalanced between the associated front support and temporal support and is therefore lifted upwardly or forwardly off the person's nose and/or ears. The base may be adjustable in length. The position of the first and second temporal supports on the base may also be adjustable.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing hairbrush that includes a body having a bristle frame and a base which define a chamber between them. A plurality of bristles extends outwardly from a face of the bristle frame. A spraying member that includes a liquid reservoir, a pump, and a nozzle is retained within the chamber. The nozzle is positioned adjacent a support within the chamber. A trigger provided on the body is operatively engaged with the liquid reservoir of the sprayer. When the trigger is depressed a trigger arm pivots and pushes the liquid reservoir through a region of the chamber, actuating the pump as the nozzle is forced against the support. Liquid from within the liquid reservoir is pumped through the nozzle and sprays through one or more holes in the bristle frame's face and between the bristles. The sprayed liquid is applied to the user's hair as they use the hairbrush.

Abstract: The invention relates to a backpack with extendable wheels which extends to the ground, composed of a left and right shaft which contains the left and right shaft extension containing at one end a left and right pivoting wheel, which come in contact to the ground, therefore reducing the weight of the backpack and also contains a left and right shoulder strap and a waist belt, which also contribute to the load supporting features of the backpack wheel extension.

Abstract: A radar/laser emission detecting unit which is an attachment to a personal cell phone, wherein the emission detector unit can only detect the radar and laser emissions, process the signal and transfer the signal to the personal cell phone containing a software application which interprets the signal and displays the warning through an audio unit and a display unit which can be seen and heard by the driver.

Abstract: The invention relates to a backpack with a extendable left leg exoskeleton and a extendable right leg exoskeleton which can be extended from the backpack and attached to the appropriate leg of wearer whereby transferring the load of the backpack to the ground surface therefore reducing the weight of the backpack.
