  • Publication number: 20220031013
    Abstract: The pressure relieving device is intended to provide users with a stress relieving support surface that is customizable. To that end, the device includes a sleeve with one or more compartments that may be individually filled and refilled with a deformable media. The deformable media further includes a mixture of both non-rigid deformable and rigid non-deformable particles that enable the device to conform to any shape when acted upon by a pressure and recover back when pressure is removed. The device may act as a footwear component for use as a shoe insole insert which may be customized by the user to relieve pain in the areas of foot where most required. Accordingly, the footwear component adapts to the user's foot pattern while standing or moving. Furthermore, the device is durable, washable and reusable, and may be used with open shoes, closed shoes or even without any shoes.

  • Publication number: 20220031048
    Abstract: The invention can be used by persons that use tape-in style hair extensions. The invention includes a flat panel with several horizontal entry points aligned in rows. Both sides of the panel are utilized. A tape-in style hair extension is fed into the panel through a horizontal entry point from one side and comes through on the other side. The hair is then fastened by the clip/fastener on the opposite side just above the horizontal entry point. Vertically, each set of horizontal entry points, coupled with a clip/fastener on the opposite side, is also spaced apart leaving room for the user to have workspace for each individual hair extension. Once the hair extension is secured by the clip/fastener, the user can then remove the old tape-tab and prepare the tape-in style hair extension for reuse by adhering a new tape tab to each extension.

    Abstract: A harness system for a clip. The clip has a base portion and a pair of elongated members, the elongated members folded over the base portion, thereby defining a gap configured to receive portions of a harness. The elongated members are separated from one another by a longitudinal opening for accommodating a rib between the portions of the harness. A gate is securably engaged to a first one of the elongated members and rotatable between an open position in which the gate does not obstruct said longitudinal opening and a closed position in which said gate obstructs said longitudinal opening. The harness is fashioned from a strip of webbing secured to a base along its midline and edges. The webbing thereby forms two pockets, each sized to accommodate one of the elongated members of the clip.

    Abstract: A phone tethering device for tethering a phone to a user to deter droppage and loss of the phone includes a first fastener, which is engaged to a phone case, and second fastener, which is engaged to a tether. The second fastener is complementary to the first fastener and thus is positioned to selectively engage the first fastener to removably engage the tether to the phone case. A connector, which is engaged to the tether distal from the second fastener, can engage the tether to a user, an article engaged to the user, or an item in possession of the user, to tether the phone case and a phone positioned in the phone case to the user, the article, or the item. The tether deters droppage and loss of the phone case and a phone positioned in the phone case. The tether also facilitates carrying of the phone without use of a pocket.
