  • Patent number: 5403105
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a toothbrush with a detachable dentifrice dispenser assembly. The brush includes a head portion with a centrally located aperture. The aperture communicates with a corresponding aperture located within the detachable dentifrice dispenser. The dispenser is adapted to be removably secured on the bottom surface of the toothbrush. In alternate embodiments, a plunger assembly is located in association with the dispenser to facilitate the dispensing of the dentifrice through the aperture in the head portion and into the bristles of the brush. Alternatively, the dispenser assembly can be removed and dentifrice can be delivered directly from the container through the head aperture and into the bristles of brush.

  • Patent number: 5186559
    Abstract: This invention is a cooking sauce dispenser comprising an assembly of one or more tubular, squeezable containers having a circular opening in a plane at an oblique angle to the axis of the container and connected rotatably to a collar having a flow passage for each container. The flow passage for each container is attached to an individual, heat resistant flow tube which terminates in a drip proof flapper valve. The distal end of each flow tube fits into a common flow directing nozzle which contains a bristle brush for applying the sauce to food. The drip proof valves are designed to accommodate sauces of varying viscosities and sauces containing chunky ingredients. The bristle brush is detachable and easily replaced with brushes of varying stiffness. By rotating a particular container, the container is caused to extend at an acute angle from the axis of the dispenser.

  • Patent number: 5171095
    Abstract: A device applying a two-component composition to a workpiece surface comprises an applicator head (384) to which the two components are supplied separately via tubes (726, 382) arranged one inside the other. The applicator head includes a ball member (392) over the surface of which the components supplied via the tubes can flow and be applied to the workpiece surface, substantially unmixed at the point of application. The applicator head (384) supports a rotary brush assembly (398) which, when its annular operating surface portion is pressed against the workpiece surface, serves both to mix the substantially still separate components on the workpiece surface and to spread the thus formed adhesive composition over the workpiece surface.

  • Patent number: 4808438
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for printing a marble motif. The apparatus comprises a holder, including a hand gripping portion, a hollow cylindrical roller rotatably mounted in the holder defining a first set of perforations, and a partition disposed within the roller to divide the hollow of the roller into a plurality of compartments adapted to receive different colored paints. The partition defines a second set of perforations to permit limited fluid communication between the compartments to partially mix the paints. A porous absorbent material is positioned over the roller and in fluid communication with the first set of perforations. The method comprises separately storing a plurality of different colored paints in the compartments, and rolling the porous absorbent material over a surface to cause the partially mixed paints to print a marble motif on the surface.
