Abstract: The improved retractable brush for brushing, cleaning and curling hair of the present invention is substantially set forth in the abstract. The retractable brush is constructed with a brushing base, an elongated tube and, a pair of handles, upper and lower, which are joined by at their rear ends by "U" shape creating spring force. The brushing base has at least one or more rows of teeth/bristles. The upper handle is connected to a brushing base with a slightly upward angle before assembled. When lower handle is in a horizontal figure from the side view, the base of the front is in its highest position. The connected area, between the handle and base is flexible enough to bend down when brushing base is in contact with inner surface of the tube after assembled. The lower handle is securely connected to the lower portion of the tube. The tube has a series of openings which align with the teeth/bristles. The spring force will automatically return the upper handle to the open position.

Abstract: An Improved Clip with multiple panels that enables user to secure multiple groupings of gathered papers or the like without wrinkling or cramping. Also, this clip is able to accommodate thin or thick insertions or both simultaneously. The clip having a vertically raised neck(s) and having centrally located stopping elements to prevent the clip from wandering. The outermost panel is larger than the middle panel and the middle panel is larger than the center panel. The front of the center and middle panels are slanted toward the front. The clip also has a rear solid portion having a back edge adapted to be pushed down by fingers. The clip will allow insertion of a single of paper or a stack of papers. The clip is made of one piece by plastic by injection molding and stamped metal sheet, or single wire.

Abstract: An improved curling device is comprised of a horizontal, generally round base, having elongated main teeth vertically extending from around the edge of the base, interior of the base having one or more row(s) of smaller additional teeth, which are tightly spaced to sufficiently brush, tease and grab the hair. The outer row of teeth being tapered outwardly from a vertical plane as the outer teeth extend from the lower teeth ends to upper teeth tips. The bottom of the base is attached to the vertical holding element.

Abstract: For the purpose of mobility a pair of wing shape stencils is connected by a nut and screw passing through the elongated slots which allows the stencils to move horizontally and vertically. This procedure allows the adjustment of horizontal distance and an angle of the eyebrow cut-outs simultaneously. When the two stencils are connected the V- shapes formed thereby, provide centering guides. The stencil may have one or more eyebrow cut-outs generally in the middle area with a additional eyebrow line at the upper edge and an eyeline shadow guide at the lower edge. The stencils are supported by stretchable head bands and clips which are secured around the head during the application.

Abstract: A hand held coating apparatus is comprised of first and second applicators in one apparatus. The handle is located in between the first and second applicators. The first applicator head, located on one end of the handle, is rotatable and the second applicator head, located on the opposite end of the handle, is non-rotatable, which is stationary head. Rotatable applicator is comprised of a sleeve and a sponge cover, which are secured on a rod end. The rotatable applicator is for rapid and evenly spreading coating material. Non-rotatable applicator is for mixing, dabbing, and applying coating material in hard to reach areas. The apparatus is small enough to be flipped over with a single hand motion, which allows the user to implement each applicator individually. The apparatus can be used for coating, such as paint, art work, make-up applications, body massasge or cooking practices.

Abstract: A combination "whip/fork" for serving noodles and mixing ingredients, which is a hand held device, comprised of a base having an outer row of tines which is located around the edge of the base radially extending slightly, additional rows of tines of varying lengths are positioned within the circumference of the outer row of tines, base is attached to a generally vertical handle element, when tines are inserted into a pile of noodles the noodles are secured across and around the row of tines, also device can be used as a whip to mix ingredients.

Abstract: An improved dispenser which has an internal storage shelf disposed above a well and opposite a sloping grid. The dispenser has a generally "V" shape appearance in side elevation and has an opening and matching lid. Also, the dispenser may have a vertical carrying handle.

Abstract: The present invention, a hand held Chestnut Cutter which is adaptable for all sizes of the chestnuts. This cutter is similar in shape and system to a hand held garlic press or nut cracker. Nut cutter is comprised of a pair of levers which are pivotally joined together at their front ends, or center by a bolt or pin. The upper lever carries a cutting blade and the lower lever has a cavity for receiving the chestnut and has opening at the bottom for tail of chestnut. To cut the chestnut, place the chestnut in the lower lever ring, and push down the upper lever blade towards the chestnut and it will cut the top of the shell.

Abstract: The Grass and Weed Lifting Shovel Head is comprised of shovel shaped head, having many spikes in the front, it looks like a giant fork. The spikes are spaced closely together, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 apart to catch the weed in between the teeth.

Abstract: An improved clip with a neck that enables user to easily secure the thick gathered papers or the like without wrinkling or cramping. The clip having a vertical neck at the back of the clip, between the upper grip and lower panel, and lower panel is larger than the upper grip. Lower grip is flat and straight but upper grip is slanted. Front tip of the upper grip is almost the same level as the front tip of the lower panel and rear part of the upper grip is the same height as the top of the neck. The clip also has a rear solid portion having a back edge adapted to be pushed down by fingers. The clip will allow one to insert approximately 1/4" to more than 1/2" papers or like material.The shape of the clip is generally round at the front tip and generally straight at the rear end which is a handle portion. The upper grip may have an additional smaller grip and it can/may hold an additional layer of the paper or like.

Abstract: A tong shape apparatus comprised of a right rod and left rod, each rod having an applicator at its lower ends and upper ends connected by a pivot on a spring action. This method will seal the contents of the dispenser which has a single opening. In between the applicators and pivot, there are blocking members which divide the rods into lower and upper sections. The upper section may be used as a handle. When the tong is in a closed position, applicators, rods and blocking members match to form one unit, which makes insertion into a single opening of the dispenser. The blocking members protect the contents and applicators, and also insure that the upper rods and handles remain above the opening.
