  • Publication number: 20240315416
    Abstract: A hair styling charm is provided consisting of two synchronized shell members pivotally connected and capable of moving between open and closed positions. In the closed position, the charm features first and second openings formed between the shells. Each shell has a concave inner surface lined with a resilient silicone pad, featuring complementary ridges. These ridges engage when the charm is closed, effectively altering the direction of hair passing through it. Silicone pads, secured within the shell members by pegs and holes, are designed to bulge outwardly, shifting from concave to a more planar shape as they interact with hair.

  • Patent number: 11918100
    Abstract: A bead (10) comprising first and second members (12, 14) pivotally secured adjacent first sides (16) thereof such that the first and second members (12, 14) are pivotable between a closed position and an open position. First and second openings (28) are defined between the first and second side members (12, 14) when in the closed position. A first resilient pad (33) is provided on the first side surface of the first member (12) and a second resilient pad (35) on the first side surface of the second member (14). The first and second resilient pads (33. 35) include complementary ridges (42) on adjacent inner surfaces (40) such that when the first and second members (12, 14) are in the closed position, the ridges (42) engage to deflect the hair (11) passing through the bead (10) from the first opening (28) to the second opening (28).

  • Publication number: 20220386802
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kettle for heating liquid comprising a base with a base connector being movable between an engaged and a disengaged position, and a vessel for holding the liquid. The vessel comprises a vessel connector with an electrical contact connected to a heating element. The vessel is pivotably connected to the base such that by pivoting the vessel liquid in the vessel flows through an opening located at a top portion of the vessel. The kettle is configured such that when the base connector of the base is in the engaged position, the base connector engages with the vessel connector to activate the heating element, and when the base connector is in the disengaged position, the vessel is pivotable relative to the base for pouring the liquid through the opening of the vessel.
