| 20080209648 | Vibrating hair brush having isolator support system for controlled vibratory movement - A vibrating hair brush provides enhanced detangling of user's hair. The brush has a bristle pad comprising a plurality of bristles disposed in a brush head. The bristle pad is supported within the brush head by a vibrating motor and isolator assembly disposed for directing a vibratory movement of the motor to a bristle pad movement in a plane generally parallel to a user's scalp. The motor and isolator assembly effectively translate a circular vibratory movement of the offset weight into an elliptical movement of the bristle pad while insulating the vibration caused by the movement of the weight from a handle of the brush. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080210252 | Vibrating hair brush with curvilinear planar movement for enhanced detangling of hair - A vibrating hair brush provides enhanced detangling of hair including a head portion having a motor assembly for operating a vibrating actuator and a plurality of bristles depending from a bristle pad. The actuator is disposed for generating a vibrating movement of the bristles in a curvilinear direction within a plane generally parallel to the bristle pad and tangential to the user's scalp. The vibrating actuator comprises an offset weight rotating in a plane generally parallel to the bristle pad. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090050623 | APPARATUS FOR BREWING AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - Apparatus for brewing a brew substance with a liquid comprises: a container for storing the liquid, the container including at least one aperture for dispensing liquid therefrom; a sealed packet of filter paper containing the brew substance; and a layer of heat sensitive film encapsulating the sealed packet, the encapsulated packet disposed within the container at a position covering the at least one aperture, the container configured to sit on top of a drinking container to permit liquid to drain into the drinking container from the at least one aperture thereof. In addition, a method of making a brewing apparatus comprises the steps of: configuring a container to store liquid for brewing and to dispense the liquid through at least one aperture therein; encapsulating a sealed packet of filter paper containing a brew substance with a layer of heat sensitive film; disposing the encapsulated packet within the container at a position covering the at least one aperture; and configuring the container to sit on top of a drinking container to permit liquid to drain into the drinking container from the at least one aperture thereof. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090050673 | Soldering Apparatus and Solder Tip - The present application discloses a fixture-free, hands-free soldering apparatus having a base support assembly and a solder assembly. The base support assembly has a base member supporting a power supply and an electronic temperature, time and speed control system, and an actuator for remotely actuating the solder assembly without the use of the operator's hands or fixtures. The solder assembly is supported on the base member by vertically movable support arms. A main body supports a spool of solder, a solder feed mechanism operated by the actuator and a solder mechanism having adjustable operating temperature, speed and position. The main body and adjustable solder mechanism of the solder assembly adjust the angle and position of the solder being fed by the solder feed mechanism and an adjustable solder head supporting a concave solder tip. In addition to vertical movement, the main body is rotatable by about 60 degrees with respect to a central horizontal plane along the main body. The adjustable solder head of the solder assembly is also rotatable by over 100 degrees with respect to a central vertical plane along the main body. A pressure or motion sensor positioned on the adjustable soldering mechanism may be used to signal the contact to the mechanism by work pieces, and delays solder from being fed by the solder feed mechanism, until the desired time has elapsed for the pieces to reach a minimum desired temperature. A fume removal system removes soldering fumes from the work area during operation of the solder apparatus. | 02-26-2009 |
