Patent number: 5983902Abstract: A cosmetic applicator is disclosed which includes an applicator pad, or tip, comprised of a single piece of foam rubber having a substantially uniform thickness. An elongated handle, or wand, having at least one threaded end is positioned inside an opening in the applicator pad. An adhesive, inside the opening of the applicator pad, attaches the applicator pad to the threaded end of the handle. Notably, the adhesive may be inserted into the opening of the applicator pad during the assembly process and, most advantageously, it does not require drying for further handling. The method for making the applicator for applying cosmetics generally comprises placing an applicator tip in tension, forming a cavity in the applicator tip, and inserting a wand into the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1998Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: LIS CorporationInventors: James J. Heneghan, Leonard E. Hesse

Patent number: 5231749Abstract: A method of making design models allowing for CAD data verification of interior and exterior styled surfaces comprising the following steps. Initially, the interior and exterior surfaces of the proposed design are mathematically modeled. A series of separable parts of said design are defined. At least one bench mark plane is provided within the interior and exterior surfaces of a first part of the design. An exterior surface is shaped on an exterior portion of the first part of the design. Likewise, an interior surface is shaped on an interior portion of the first part of the design. The interior portion and the exterior portion are separated from each other at the bench mark plane when the interior portion is formed. The interior portion and exterior portion are assembled together at the bench mark plane. Finally, the separable parts or modules are assembled together at the boundaries. The method further allows for the disassembly of particular modules and their modification in holding fixtures.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1991Date of Patent: August 3, 1993Inventor: John H. Hutchison

Patent number: 5061165Abstract: A tool for holding threaded inserts in a rotational mold includes a stud which projects within the mold cavity and which has a diameter substantially equal to the minor diameter of the threads of the insert. A spring loaded detent on the stud is received by the internal threads of the insert for holding the insert firmly against the inner wall of the mold yet permitting simple removal of the molded part. A retractor mechanism for using the tool with threaded inserts placed across the axis of removal of the molded part, is also taught.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1990Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Kelch CorporationInventor: Gary R. Guzikowski

Patent number: 4834640Abstract: An extrusion-forming jig for extruding a ceramic batch to regulate a sectional shape and external dimensions of a honeycomb structure is formed by the extrusion. The jig includes electric discharge coating layers on surfaces of the jig contacting the ceramic batch. The electric discharge coating layers are made of a cemented carbide such as tungsten carbide. The jig is able to be used for many hours without necessitating replacement.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1988Date of Patent: May 30, 1989Assignee: NGK Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Satoru Inoue, Mitsuaki Watanabe

Patent number: 4525130Abstract: A multiply adjustable frame includes coupled seat and back pans each provided with a flexible, sealed, bead-filled bag connected to a respective vacuum pump. With a person positioned on the frame, the seat and back bags assume the contour of respective portions of that person's torso and are maintained in this configuration upon evacuation by a vacuum pump. Cushions individually contoured to the person thus fitted may then be formed either directly from the evactuated bag or from a negative plaster cast of the evacuated bag. The adjustable molding frame, the configuration of which may be varied over a wide range of angles and dimensions, is particularly adapted to provide a custom bucket seat including custom contoured seat and back cushions for the severely handicapped and deformed. Seat pan length, or depth, and seat-to-back angle may be continuously varied over a wide range of values.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1984Date of Patent: June 25, 1985Inventor: Frederick P. Netznik

Patent number: 4522578Abstract: This invention relates to insulated pipe and methods and apparatus for making the same. There has been difficulty in placing foamable insulating materials in the narrow elongated space between a casing pipe and a core pipe. According to the instant invention, a miniaturized mix head is inserted in this elongated space. Constituents of the foamable insulating material are simultaneously mixed and disseminated by the mix head in a manner to create a moving foam front which displaces air within the elongated space and permits the formation of a layer uniform, low density insulating material therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1980Date of Patent: June 11, 1985Assignee: J-M Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: William W. Martin, Jr., David W. French

Patent number: 4419307Abstract: A method for manufacturing a heat-insulating member, such as e.g. a door or housing of a refrigerator, including a shell and a foamed heat-insulating material filled in the shell and a jig used therefor. The jig is intended to hold the shell lest the shell of the heat-insulating member to be manufactured should be deformed when a foamable liquid composition is foamed in the shell. In the jig of this invention, a jig body is formed of a heat-insulating material. The method of this invention comprises the steps of holding the shell in a hollow state by means of two jigs, injecting the foamable liquid composition into the shell to foam the same in the shell. Since the jig body of the jig of this invention is made of a heat-insulating material, the necessity of external heating, which is essential to the conventional method, is substantially obviated.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1982Date of Patent: December 6, 1983Assignee: Tokyo Shibaura Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koujirou Kohara, Susumu Miyano

Patent number: 4397798Abstract: An inventive method for producing a laminated molded countertop includes the steps of placing the surface laminate material into a mold, applying a layer of polyurethane foam to an interior side of the laminate material, applying a reinforcing member, if necessary, on top of the layer of polyurethane foam, applying a second layer of polyurethane foam over the reinforcing member and closing the mold. A resultant molded article has an exterior surface laminated thereto due only to the forces generated by the polyurethane foam during the time when it is expanding and solidifying.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1980Date of Patent: August 9, 1983Assignee: Polyvend Inc.Inventor: Bruce D.
