Abstract: A soap dispensing shower head assembly comprises a pipe fitting 3 having internal threads 2 attaching directly to a shower faucet pipe 1. A fitting ring 5 is rotatably mounted on the pipe fitting 3 and head internal threads 4 so that the fitting ring 5 may be attached to an externally threaded portion 6 of the bottle bracket 7. First and second water conduits 11, 13 are in communication with a diverter valve 9 so that incoming water from the faucet pipe 1 is directed through the first conduit 11 and through the diverter valve 9, and back up through the second conduit 13. The diverter valve 9 is manually operable via a knob 37 and can be positioned to direct water through the second conduit 13 to the soap and water mixing chamber 15 in the pivoting shower head 17. The soap and water mixture stream then exits the shower head 17 through outlet nozzles 18.

Abstract: A fluid heating and dispensing device and method of using the device, is provided. The device has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a pump device, a heating device, and a delivery device. The first reservoir is in thermal communication with the heating device, the second reservoir is in substantial thermal isolation from the heating device, the first reservoir is substantially smaller than the second reservoir and the pump device selectively causes fluid to flow between the reservoirs and to the atmosphere. The device can have a removable supply container for refilling.

Abstract: A hair cutting device (1) has an electrically motorized blade assembly (4) mounted pivotally for movement in a limited range of motion under a spring bias (16,/17,/18). The blade assembly (4) may be selectively locked to prevent pivoting as desired. One or more comb attachments (12) can be fitted to the blade assembly (4) including novel comb attachments (12) that each have a curved contact surface (13) that is sized and shaped with a curved surface (13) to engage the natural curvature of a user's scalp to optimize correct alignment and spacing of the blade assembly(4) relative to the hair being cut.

Abstract: A beverage matter container (10) for holding coffee grounds (132), loose tea or the like, having a body portion (12) shaped like an open-top cup, a moveable or removable locking lid (14) for access to the interior of the body portion, and perforations (30) in the bottom of the body and in the lid (28) for allowing brewed beverage to pass through. The container is adapted to be inserted into a compartment in a beverage machine, such as into a drawer or space in the flow path of heated water or steam that may be delivered under pressure to the container, to pass therethrough, to mix with beverage matter held therein.
