  • Patent number: 12102868
    Abstract: An adjustable modified exercise bench device for ameliorating the performance of a push-up exercise includes a pad being positioned at an angle relative to the ground. A bar is coupled to a base surface of the pad. A first end of the bar has a protrusion. A foot rest is positioned perpendicular relative to the bar. A center plate provides support proximate to the first end of the bar. Furthermore, a pair of bases protrudes out from the bar. The pair of bases is positioned proximate to the first end of the bar, and each of the bases has an interior. The interior of each of the bases defines a space for a respective one of a pair of handles to be nested within. Each of the handles has a grip is adjustable in positioning relative to the pair of bases.

  • Patent number: 10836515
    Abstract: An inflatable pressure structure includes an airtight flexible membrane having collapsed and inflated configurations. The inflatable pressure structure includes an elongated pressure-assisted seal that is configured to selectively seal an opening in the airtight flexible membrane. The pressure-assisted seal includes first and second seal components that sealingly engage one another and prevent escape of gas from inside the airtight flexible membrane. The airtight flexible membrane, when inflated, generates a force transverse to the pressure-assisted seal tending to pull the first and second seal components apart. Pressurized gas inside the airtight flexible membrane causes the first and second seal components to more securely engage one another whereby a force transverse to the pressure-assisted seal does not disengage the first and second seal components.

  • Publication number: 20190125056
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, apparatuses, systems for treating and preventing pseudofolliculitis barbae on a skin surface area. A method comprising: applying a first cosmetic product to a skin surface area affected by pseudofolliculitis barbae; contacting a stone grooming apparatus, having a convex tephra composite head and a cylindrical elongated member handle, to the skin surface area affected by pseudofolliculitis barbae in a consistent motion and in an amount effective to dislodge embedded ingrown hairs on the skin surface area affected by pseudofolliculitis barbae; exfoliating inflamed skin particles on the skin surface area affected by pseudofolliculitis barbae; and applying a second cosmetic product to the skin surface area affected by pseudofolliculitis barbae.

  • Publication number: 20150320445
    Abstract: This is an apparatus for pulling out ingrown hairs that cause razor bumps, with an application of hot water and soap lather or shaving foam. This opens the pores and loosens the ingrown hairs for extracting. The textured convex head with rounded corners, allows for a fluent motion on various contoured surfaces of the human body that is susceptible to ingrown hairs. The width of the textured head has enough surface area to capture the multiple ingrown hairs and extracting them in a minimal amount of time.
