Abstract: A dispensing brush assembly containing and selectively dispensing a hair care product includes a brush that is selectively manipulated thereby facilitating the brush to groom hair. The brush has a reservoir therein to contain a fluid. A plunger unit is movably coupled to the brush and the plunger unit is selectively manipulated. The plunger unit is in fluid communication with the reservoir to selectively urge the fluid outwardly from the brush. In this way the fluid may be urged onto the hair to enhance grooming.

Abstract: The present invention relates to attractants for game animals. Specifically, the invention relates to a porous, natural shot material that can retain an attractant scent, as well as a related apparatus and method of dispersal.

Abstract: A heating system can include certain pressure sensitive features. These features can be configured to change from a first position to a second position based on a pressure of a fuel flowing into the feature. These features can include, fuel selector valves, pressure regulators, burner nozzles, and oxygen depletion sensor nozzles, among other features.

Abstract: An improved cut plant watering device is provided which is particularly adapted for watering Christmas trees and potted plants. The plant watering device includes a reservoir and nozzle. The nozzle includes first and second conduits for releasing water stored within the reservoir to a plant basin. In addition, the nozzle includes a wedge region having an arcuate edge configured to engage the stock of a plant, such as the truck of a tree.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a vibratory powder feeding and metering apparatus that achieves the above-mentioned requirements. Generally, the apparatus of the present invention includes a housing defining a powder reservoir, a powder storage hopper having an outlet disposed to deliver powdered resin to the reservoir, a powder distribution block having one or more generally vertical fill tubes, a plurality of discharge ports extending from the reservoir to the fill tubes in the distribution block, and a vibration device to which the housing is mounted. Typically, the fill tubes are in communication with individual spray nozzles for transmission of the powdered resin. The housing also carries an adjustable barrier which serves as a dam to control or meter the flow of powdered resin into the discharge ports.

Abstract: A method and system for dispensing a nonaqueous foam under pressure from a container wherein the valve of the container is pointed above the horizontal plane.

Abstract: A twist apply granular spreader comprising a tapered hollow body having an open top end, a closed bottom end, and a wall surface integral with the top and bottom ends for containing and dispersing granular dispersal substances through a multiplicity of apertures in the wall surface. A handle extends from the top end of the spreader body for supporting the body from above during use. A cover lid having a lip rim is detachably coupled to the top end of the spreader body for retaining granular dispersal substances. A channel encompasses the exterior circumference of the top end of the body and accepts the lip rim of the cover lid thus securing the cover lid.

Abstract: A scoop or pail shaped container having a plurality of openings surrounding its bottom outer portion and having a bottom cover pivotally secured to the bottom of the container. The cover has a plurality of openings about its circumference and is vertically ribbed on the outer surface to make it easy to grasp and turn in either direction. A pair of spaced semi-circular integral projections are upstanding from the cover and project through a central hole in the bottom portion to form a detachable pivot for the bottom cover. The cover has a vertically upwardly extending pin which engages an arcuate depression underneath the bottom portion, concentric with the arcuate depression to limit rotation of the cover in either direction. By adjustably varying the extent of overlap of the openings of the container and cover, variable amounts of particles in the container are dispersed uniformly.

Abstract: A sprinkler for distribution of powdered and granular products has a chamber defined by a closure having holes and a plate having openings abutted by a system of flanges protruding into the interior of the container which the closure and plate surmount.

Abstract: A portable liquid sprayer has a tank adapted to contain a supply of liquid received through a fill opening, an a pump for pressurizing liquid contained therein. A first spraying mechanism includes a first control valve carried on the tank and a first nozzle removably connected to the tank. A second spraying mechanism and a second nozzle form part of a wand assembly located at one end of a flexible hose. The hose has a coupling at the opposite end adapted to be interchangeably connected to the tank in the place of the first nozzle. The first control valve has a valve seat included as an integral component of the first nozzle and without which the first control valve is incapable of preventing the flow of pressurized liquid therethrough from the tank.

Abstract: A material spreader carried by the operator in one hand and operated by the same hand for oscillatory movement includes a hollow hopper, a spring-like carrying and operating handle attached to the hopper wall, and a material distributor mounted on the hopper exterior wall to receive material inertially ejected from the hopper through a gated aperture.

Abstract: A combination container and spreader package for particulate material is disclosed. The combination comprises a container having a side wall and bottom for holding the particulate matter. Openings are provided in the side wall adjacent the juncture of the side wall and the bottom. A handle is provided whereby the container can be oscillated about a vertical axis. The oscillatory movement forces the particular material from the openings in the container and evenly spreads the material over the ground.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser for attachment to or forming part of a liquid container including a bore and a plug portion of substantially the same cross-section as the bore mounted in and across the bore so that the outer surface of the plug and the inner surface of the bore are in sealing contact, the outer surface of the plug portion or the inner surface of said bore including a protrusion whereby the plug or brush holder are distorted to provide a liquid channel for control of the flow of the liquid between the outer surface of the plug and the inner surface of the bore.

Abstract: Seeds within a package are dispensed through a seed tube dispenser in the form of a tubular member having a long straight portion for insertion into the seed package and an angled end portion with a dispensing opening. When the package is tilted and the dispensing opening adjusted seeds are dispensed at the rate required by rotating the seed tube within the package which is folded and clamped to prevent spillage of seeds and to act as a journal for rotating the tube.

Abstract: There is disclosed a texture applicator including a tubular handle formed with an elongated chamber for receipt of flowable texture material and mounting on one end thereof a plurality of hollow, open-ended flex members projecting therefrom with the projecting extremities of such tubes forming flexible hollow whip tubes for passage therethrough of the flowable texture material. A removable closure is mounted on the opposite end of such handle and may be in the form of a plunger to force the flowable texture material into the hollow whip tube.
