  • Patent number: 10413007
    Abstract: A product and process for making a transitorily colored sombre hair extension that creates a natural looking sombre effect. The hair extension comprises a hair bundle consisting of a plurality of hair strands having varied lengths. The hair is colored a first color, the bundle realigned, so that the ends of the hair strands are varied in length at the top portion. Then the top half of the hair bundle is color processed to a second color. Again, the strands are realigned and the varied length hair ends are returned to the tail portion. This results in a sombre colored hair extension with a mid-section of the hair bundle that contains transitorily colored hair with a blend of the first color in the top portion of the hair bundle with the second color in the tail portion of the hair bundle.

  • Patent number: 10413011
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a wireless audio speaker module configured to play music at a volume level that will not disturb those nearby, based on adapting a wireless audio speaker to be retained within headgear, adjusting the volume of sound emitted by the speaker to a level that will not disturb those nearby, and amplifying the speaker sound as a function of the headgear interior reflecting the sound emitted by the speaker to the user's ear. In an illustrative example, an airgap may be configured between the speaker and the headgear user's ear. In various embodiments, the sound volume emitted by the speaker may be adjusted to avoid disturbing those nearby. In some examples, the headgear may be a hardhat, advantageously configured with a wireless audio speaker module to permit construction workers to listen to music amplified by reflection within their hardhats without disturbing or distracting each other.

  • Patent number: 10413015
    Abstract: A footwear configured to attenuate shock and provide rebound is provided, including an outsole having independent compression pods separated from an outer support perimeter by a peripheral groove and from one another by multiple transverse grooves that are deeper than the peripheral groove. The pods can extend from a medial side to a lateral side, across a majority of an outsole width. The pods can compress individually and forwardly as the footwear engages the ground, and can rebound, providing energy return. The pods can independently compress medially and/or laterally to provide enhanced side to side flexibility of the outsole and attendant cushioning. The transverse grooves can be deeper than the thickness of the lower walls of the pods so that those lower walls can compress deeply upward and into the outsole to provide shock attenuation. A cushion unit can be adjacent those surfaces and can further provide rebound.

  • Patent number: 10413038
    Abstract: A fluid transfer assembly comprises a housing for accommodating a fluid. A bellows member disposed in the housing defines an opening therethrough adapted to be in fluid communication with an applicator assembly. The bellows member is adapted to operatively engage the applicator assembly for extension in a first direction and contraction in a second direction. The bellows member seals against the inner surface of the housing during extension and contraction for defining a variable volume chamber with the housing. Expansion of the bellows member in the first direction reduces the chamber volume for generating positive pressure in the housing and forcing fluid through a valve to the applicator assembly. Contraction of the bellows member in the second direction increases the chamber volume for generating negative pressure within the housing for drawing fluid into the chamber.

  • Patent number: 10413048
    Abstract: A toothbrush with a pinch grip toothbrush handle facilitates a healthier brushing technique by encouraging the use of a pinch grip. A pinch grip handle with one or more finger grooves encourages the use of a pinch grip, thereby reducing the amount of pressure a user can apply during brushing at any brushing orientation. A finger groove may be contoured, consisting of concave surface areas and optionally convex surface areas. A handle may feature a pair of finger grooves that resemble a peanut or hour glass shape, which encourages the use of a pinch grip. Embodiments may take the form of a supplemental attachment to a toothbrush, or an integral part of a solid single-piece toothbrush.
