  • Publication number: 20230330609
    Abstract: A stirrer for stirring a curable composition extracted from a squeezable container may include a body extending along a stirrer axis. A slot may be defined in the body along the stirrer axis. The slot may be configured to retain or squeeze at least a portion of the squeezable container. A total length of the slot may be less than 80% of a total length of the body. The stirrer may further include a tab extending from the body, which may have a substantially polygonal contour. The slot may extend to a teardrop-shaped end facing the tab. The slot may extend along a zigzag line. The tab may be held during engagement of the squeezable container with the slot to extract the curable composition and during stirring. The body may defining a tubular section defining the slot. The stirrer may further include a scoop extending from the tubular section.

  • Publication number: 20150090288
    Abstract: A textured elastic hair band including an elastic core substrate, a sheath of textile fibers covering the elastic core substrate, and flocking fibers secured to the sheath in which the elastic core substrate is a loop or ring shape. A method of manufacturing a textured elastic hair band includes the steps of providing an elastic core including an elastic core substrate and a sheath of textile fibers over the elastic core substrate, applying an adhesive material over an outer surface of the sheath, exposing the elastic core to flocking fibers, removing non-adhered flocking fibers from the elastic core, and curing the adhesive material. The step of applying flocking fibers can also include placing the elastic core in a flocking chamber containing the flocking fibers, applying a static electric charge, stopping the static electric charge after the period of time, and removing the flocked elastic core from the flocking chamber.

  • Patent number: 8794248
    Abstract: A headband includes an angled top section that enables the headband to better conform to the contour of the top of the user's head for a better fit in that area. In addition, the headband may be made of a memory-flex deformable material that enables it to conform to the contour of the top and sides of the user's head for a more comfortable fit in those areas. In some embodiments the headband has generally linear legs and in other embodiment the legs are swept back so they are positioned farther behind the user's ears.

  • Patent number: 8528573
    Abstract: A hair clip has a body of a resilient material and first and second claws. The body has a dome shape and includes an outer perimeter, inner and outer surfaces, and a body plane defined generally by the perimeter. The body also includes a body axis generally central to the body and oriented generally perpendicular to the body plane. The first and second claws are coupled to and extend from the body in a generally axial direction relative to the body. The first and second claws are spaced from and generally opposite one another across the body. The hair clip is movable between an open and a closed position. In the open position, the body protrudes from the body plane in an inward axial direction and the first and second claws are separated from one another. In the closed position, portions of the first and second claws overlap one another.

  • Patent number: 8302246
    Abstract: A hair brush includes a brush head and a bristle/handle assembly. The head includes a cylindrical barrel with a plurality of apertures in it, and the bristle/handle assembly includes a handle and a bristle tree assembly. The bristle tree assembly includes a central bristle rod, a plurality of bristles radially extending from the rod, and a connecting rod extending between the bristle rod and the handle. The bristle rod is positioned within the barrel, and the bristles extend through the barrel apertures in an extended position. The brush head and the bristle/handle assembly are not attached to each other, and instead they slide longitudinally relative to each other. When the handle and the barrel are slid apart from each other, the bristle rod travels with the handle to retract the bristles to a retracted positioned further within the barrel.

  • Patent number: 8109279
    Abstract: A hair clip has two body members pivotally coupled together by a spring-biased hinge mechanism. Each body member has a handle section and a hair-gripping section with the hinge mounted between them. The hair clip can have at least one handle-deflecting opening in each handle section to form at least one handle-flexing region where the handle sections can deflect outwardly into a low-profile flexed position. A mechanical stop may be provided to limit inward deflection. The hair clip can also have at least one teeth-deflecting opening in each hair-gripping section to form at least one teeth-flexing region where the hair-gripping sections can deflect into a low-profile flexed position.

  • Patent number: 8061368
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a pony tail holder including a friction member for more effectively engaging the strands of hair in the pony tail to prevent slippage of the pony tail holder during use. The pony tail holder may include a fabric ring having an annular area at least a portion of which comprises a tubular annulus around a central hole in which a pony tail is to be gripped by the pony tail holder, and an elastic core disposed within the tubular annulus of the fabric ring and extending around the central hole. The pony tail holder may further include a friction member woven into the fabric ring proximate an inner edge of the fabric ring such that at least a portion of the friction member is exposed through the outer surface of the fabric ring and engages the pony tail when the pony tail holder is disposed thereon, with the coefficient of friction of the friction member being greater than the coefficient of friction of the outer surface of the fabric ring.
