Abstract: A handbag is provided with a switching means which is activated when an excessive removal force is applied to the handbag's carrying strap. The switching means is connected in series with a battery and resistance wires. The wires preferably run under the outer surface of the bag and are elevated to a high temperature by electrical current, forcing a person holding the bag to release the same.

Abstract: This invention is directed towards a hair comb which includes a fluid (e.g., hair oil) reservoir in the body of the comb. The fluid in the fluid reservoir is positively ejected under the influence of an air pump into the teeth of a comb. The fluid passes through an adjustable needle valve so that the feed rate to the teeth of the comb is precisely variable over a wide range. The fluid then passes around roller or ball bearings mounted in the teeth ends of the comb, for uniform distribution over the hair and scalp. The combination of a positive pressure fluid dispenser, and adjustable needle valve to control the positive flow of oil and distribution means, via roller bearings, provides an improved, precisely controllable, oil-reservoir hair comb with uniform fluid distribution.
