| 20100129556 | CHILLER BOX - A process for manufacturing robust, flexible sheet-like material, includes the steps of a) applying a waxy composition to the web to form a waxed web; b) leading the waxed web via at least one roller to a chiller; c) cooling the waxed web; and d) leading the waxed web to a collection station for collecting the waxed web for further processing. The waxy composition comprises about 10-60 wt-% of a waxy compound and about 90-40 wt-% of a diluent. The waxy compound is selected from the group consisting of A) monoesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid; B) diesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid; and C) mixtures of said monoesters and diesters. The coating forms a stable liquid mixture at a temperature between about 35° C. and about 100° C., has a liquefaction temperature of at least about 30° C., and has a contact angle with a flat surface of the substrate of less than about 35° when measured at a temperature of 60° C. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100168626 | SHAPED, MOTORIZED SKIN-TREATMENT DEVICE - A handheld, motorized apparatus is arranged and configured to impart motion to skin placed in contact therewith. The motorized apparatus includes a substantially planar attachment surface suitable for coupling a skin-contactable element thereto; a motor within said body; and means for transferring mechanical energy from the motor to the skin-contactable element in order to impart motion to the skin contactable surface. The apparatus has a maximum linear dimension of less than about 13 cm. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100198119 | MECHANICAL SKIN RESURFACING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USE - A method for resurfacing the skin includes imparting sufficient energy to a motorized device to cause a mass of less than 4 grams to move in an eccentric orbit, thereby urging an abrasive coupled to said device to vibrate; and contacting said skin with said vibrating abrasive. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20110028993 | MATERIAL FOR MECHANICAL SKIN RESURFACING TECHNIQUES - An article useful for mechanical skin resurfacing techniques is suitable for transferring mechanical energy from a handheld device to skin placed in contact with the article. The article may be characterized by its Durable Abrasiveness, Compressibility, Displacement, and/or surface roughness. The article may be formed of a fibrous structure having a first major surface having associated therewith an adhesive system and a second major surface, generally opposite the first major surface. The second major surface is arranged and configured to reversibly engage a fastener of a motion-generating unit. The invention also relates to a coupling device for coupling a motorized apparatus to a disposable skin-contactable element. The coupling device includes a water-resistant first attachment and a second attachment for releasably affixing said article to a surface of the motion generation unit. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110258791 | FOAMING POROUS PAD FOR USE WITH A MOTORIZED DEVICE - A foaming porous pad suitable for coupling to a hand-held device and for application to human skin includes a porous pad substrate and a foaming composition disposed on the porous pad substrate. The porous pad substrate includes a nonwoven pile fabric having a nonwoven backing layer and a pile comprising individual fibers extending from the backing layer. The nonwoven pile fabric has fibers having a denier of less than about 9. Other aspects of the disclosure include a kit including a foaming porous pad and a motorized handheld device, methods of making the foaming porous pad, and methods of using the foaming porous pad. | 10-27-2011 |
