  • Patent number: 10086411
    Abstract: A whisk wiper, a device having a plurality of intersecting slits angularly disposed in an asterisk type pattern, is mounted onto a whisk. It is pulled down over the loops 44, each loop 44 guided through a slit 32. To clean off mixture 50 stuck to the whisk 46 the whisk wiper 30 is simply pulled off, the opposed edges of each slit 32 wiping the loops 44 clean. An absorbent whisk wiper 94 can also be used to scrub a whisk with deep slits 84 and compressed zig zag slit 106. The whisk wiper 90 can be configured to be turned inside out to allow the slits 84 to be easily cleaned. The slits can be extended to create a compressed slit 98 which can be further configured with zig zag 102 or ribbed 100 sides to enhance the cleaning action.

  • Patent number: 9302400
    Abstract: A dummy hair clipper head, or dummy blade, which is a form conforming to those dimensions of a hair clipper's stationary blade which are necessary for its compatibility with attachment guide combs, is employed in a conduit comb which comprises a form configured to allow air or liquid to pass through the form and between the teeth of the attachment guide comb, whereby an attachment guide comb can be employed in vacuuming, drying, washing and treating hair. The form can be connected in turn to a bottle, air hose, or faucet to allow for the transmission of air or liquid through the comb. The use of the form also makes possible a variety of new uses for attachment guide combs including a scissor comb, razor comb, and comb organizer.

It is pulled down over the loops 44, each loop 44 guided through a slit 32. To clean off mixture 50 stuck to the whisk 46 the whisk wiper 30 is simply pulled off, the opposed edges of each slit 32 wiping the loops 44 clean, the removed mixture 50 collected on the top side of the whisk wiper 30 so it can be then returned to the mixing bowl 52. The whisk wiper 30 is also a splash guard, support to hang the whisk 46 on the edge of a bowl, keeps the whisks loops up off the surface when the whisk is set down and the outer edge 40 can be used to wipe out the mixing bowl 52. Additionally the whisk wiper can be configured to be turned inside out to allow the slits to be easily cleaned.

  • Publication number: 20140331504
    Abstract: A dummy hair clipper head, or dummy blade, which is a form conforming to those dimensions of a hair clipper's stationary blade which are necessary for its compatibility with attachment guide combs, is employed in a conduit comb which comprises a form configured to allow air or liquid to pass through the form and between the teeth of the attachment guide comb, whereby an attachment guide comb can be employed in vacuuming, drying, washing and treating hair. The form can be connected in turn to a bottle, air hose, or faucet to allow for the transmission of air or liquid through the comb. The use of the form also makes possible a variety of new uses for attachment guide combs including a scissor comb, razor comb, and comb organizer.

  • Patent number: 8439190
    Abstract: A dummy hair clipper head, or dummy blade, which is a form conforming to those dimensions of a hair clipper's stationary blade which are necessary for its compatibility with attachment guide combs, is employed in an attachment guide comb organizer which comprises a plurality of interconnected forms, whereby a plurality of attachment guide combs can be stored and organized. By interconnecting the forms with either a rigid, contoured or flexible means, with the options of placing them within a container and of making them releasable, the organization and storage of a set of attachment guide combs can be customized. For the purposes of storage the form can be flexible and have a reduced structure from that of the stationary blade. The use of the form also makes possible a variety of new uses for attachment guide combs including a scissor comb, razor comb, and conduit comb.

  • Patent number: 8307491
    Abstract: A whisk wiper 30, a device having a flexible central portion defining a plurality of intersecting slits 32 angularly disposed in an asterisk type pattern, for mounting onto a whisk 46 having angularly disposed loops 44. It is pulled down over the loops 44, each loop 44 guided through a slit 32. To clean off mixture 50 stuck to the whisk 46 the whisk wiper 30 is simply pulled off, the opposed edges of each slit 32 functioning as squeegees, wiping the loops 44 clean, the removed mixture 50 collected on the top side of the whisk wiper 30 so it can be then returned to the mixing bowl 52. Additionally the whisk wiper 30 is a splash guard, support to hang the whisk 46 on the edge of a mixing bowl 52, keeps the whisk's loops 44 up off the surface when the whisk 46 is set down and the outer edge 40 can be used to wipe out the mixing bowl 52.

  • Patent number: 7536789
    Abstract: A dummy hair clipper head which conforms to those dimensions of the head of a hair clipper (its stationary blade) which are necessary for its compatibility with attachment guide combs. This dummy hair clipper head provides a base onto which the attachment guide combs can be attached, and by which they can be held, allowing them to be organized within a kit among other uses. The dummy hair clipper head can be connected to a tool to allow the combs to be used with that tool, such as a pair of scissors to create a scissor comb, or including a conduit through the dummy hair clipper head to be used as a vacuum comb, a dryer comb, and a liquid dispensing comb.
