    Abstract: A tool allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs in three dimensions before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Based on a laser input file with a pattern, a laser will burn the pattern onto apparel. With the tool, the user will be able to create, make changes, and view images of a design, in real time, before burning by a laser. Input to the tool includes fabric template images, laser input files, and damage input. The tool allows adding of tinting and adjusting of intensity and bright point. The user can also move, rotate, scale, and warp the image input.

  • Publication number: 20230225480
    Abstract: A trimmings collecting nail clipping device for hygienic nail trimming includes a lower blade extending from a first end of a bottom plate. Pairs of first and second posts extend from the bottom plate proximate to the lower blade and a second end of the bottom plate, respectively. A first terminus of a center plate is engaged to the second posts distal from the bottom plate. The center plate extends between and past the first posts. An upper blade, which is engaged to the center plate, and the lower blade define a gap. A lever is hingedly engaged to the first posts distal from the bottom plate. Upon levering of the lever, a nail positioned in the gap is severed. A panel is engageable to the bottom plate to define an interior space that receives a clipping generated upon severing of the nail.

  • Publication number: 20230225482
    Abstract: The container for cosmetic product, suitable for use on the go, includes a base and a compartment for the product, with an opening surrounded by a peripheral edge which extends radially from a partitioning side wall to a peripheral wall of the base. The lid of the container hermetically covers this opening and is retained when an associated perpendicular rod, traversing the peripheral edge, is in the position of maximum insertion, therefore proximal to a container bottom. A driving force on the outside of the lid makes it possible to overcome the retention, by moving the lid along an inclined upper surface of the peripheral edge, compatible with a rising of the rod which guides the lid displacement that is generally parallel to the opening plane. The container may be part of a cap sealing a packaging assembly of larger volume.

    Abstract: Multi-functional carrying systems, methods, and devices include a multi-functional carrier bag with a central body from which a first stabilizer strap and a second stabilizer strap extend. The multi-functional carrier bag is usable in first carrying position with the central body positioned at a front of a user (e.g., a front torso or lap). The user can grab the second stabilizer strap and pull the multi-functional carrier bag across their body, rotating it until the central body is in a second carrying position at a rear of the user (e.g., on a back, upper torso). With the multi-functional carrier bag in the second carrying position, the second stabilizer strap extends from a side of the central body to attach to a strap connector disposed on the first stabilizer strap to form a three-point connection (e.g., a “T” connection) on a chest of the user.
