    Abstract: A disposable tubular wrist/arm protector includes at least one longitudinally extending flap in the direction of the longitudinally extending axis of the tubular assembly. The assembly having a substrate having at least one layer. The flap may be formed by folding portions of the assembly laterally inward. The flap may have at least one layer. A longitudinally extending elastic gathering member is attached to the unattached portion of the flap. The elastic gathering member contracts and raise the flap to form a side barrier, thereby an “O” shape is formed by the unattached portion of the flap in the tubular shape wrist/arm protector. The assembly may be absorbent, may be non-absorbent or partially absorbent and non-absorbent. The main focus of absorption and/or a protective barrier is the entry area of a wrist/arm protector, the flap acts as a block to the interior and/or exterior of the wrist/arm protector to absorb or repel as needed for its purpose.

    Abstract: Falling causes serious injury to the body and is a leading cause of death in the elderly. An external belt placed over the waist comprises an inertia system and expandable modules. These modules contain packed air bags and can be expanded in size by orders of magnitude using an air tank. The modules are selected by the inertia system that senses the direction of the fall. The selected module is filled with air from the air tank generating a protective mattress which can be used to cushion their fall. Serious injury to the body can be reduced or even prevented. The module instead can contain an expandable support structure to reach the floor and act as a “third leg”. This support structure may be used by the individual to gain control of the individual's balance and stabilize the individual allowing a re-capture of balance and preventing the fall from occurring.

  • Publication number: 20150101132
    Abstract: The invention relates to the dyeing of human keratin fibres, especially the hair, using cationic direct dyes bearing a particular sulf(on)ate, carboxylate, or phosph(on)ate counterion of formula (I) in which formula (I) Col(?)m, X?, m and n are as defined in the description. The invention relates to a dye composition comprising a cationic dye of formula (I), and to a process for dyeing keratin fibres such as the hair, using the said composition. Similarly, the invention relates to novel cationic compounds of formula (I) and to the uses thereof for dyeing keratin fibres. This composition makes it possible to obtain chromatic, powerful and particularly fast coloration on keratin fibres and particularly lightening coloration via an optical effect on dark hair.

    Abstract: A glove-like shape which is infused and absorbs shampoo or soap-like composition for use in cleaning hair and other body parts without the need for adding water for activation and for rinsing. The glove like component preferably has two oversized outside fingers so the same can be easily worn on the left or right hand of the user. In the preferred embodiment, the glove is soft, made of woven material, like cotton, inexpensive, and disposable after use. The composition of the glove and the soap/shampoo is such that after the same is rubbed over a body part, the glove picks up and retains the dirt loosened thereby so that the glove can be hygienically disposed of These gloves are intended to be used one at a time. Preferably, a carton or package/container of the gloves are commercially sold and purchased by a consumer with the package serving to dispense the same, one at a time, and to retain the composition of the shampoo and soap within the gloves, until used.

    Abstract: The Infinity Mop is a mop that uses a set length of rolled cleaning fabric material which is attached to one side of the mop head, then passes underneath the bottom of the mop surface area and onto the opposite side of the mop head. As the cleaning surface area of the cleaning material becomes dirty, the soiled area can be advanced manually or electronically to the back compartment of the mop, while the sheet of clean fabric material is advanced onto the bottom cleaning surface area of the mop at the same time. This process is repeated until the end of the pre-rolled cleaning sheet is used up and a new cleaning roll is inserted into the mop.

  • Publication number: 20150101141
    Abstract: There is a need to reduce raw materials used in the manufacturing of wet mops, to reduce the weight of the wet mop which will decrease user fatigue and related injuries and to address the difficulty of attaching standard wet mops to commonly used mop handles. The improvement is a tubular headband wet mop with yarn strands on only one side of the headband, reducing the amount of unused yarn incorporated into the wet mop while not reducing floor surface coverage area. The tubular headband also eliminates the possibility of exposing the bottom side of the mop handle which can damage or mar the floor surface, coatings and finishes. This reduction in raw materials results in a lighter product, which reduces effort required to lift and wring out the wet mop, and reduces fatigue and injuries associated with mopping.
