Title: Portable, adjustable shower sponge with liquid soap dispenser
Inventor: HAWKE PHILIP A
IPC: A47K7/03
Filed: 1992-05-20
Abstract: ABSTRACT  A shower accessory to scrub and clean your skin easier and more efficiently, consisting of a back/wall unit and a seperate hand held unit that works exactly the same way. An ocean sponge, or something similar in texture, is attached to a liquid soap dispenser by means of a back plate with four walls and an open end. The sponge having two holes drilled through it and two soap jets  (exit tubes) placed half-way into these holes. The soap jets are permanantly connected to the back plate which is attached to the sponge. The soap jets, constructed of solid plastic tubing, lead directly to two spring loaded pumps attached to the front wall of a soap container. The soap container consisting of a top and bottom wall, two side walls, and a back and front wall, the front wall being  a  mount  and  backing  for  the  pumps.  The  soap container is partially covered by the four walls of the back plate,  having grooves formed on the inside side walls of the back plate to slide and to act as a guide into tracks formed on the outside of the soap container side walls.  The back/wall unit has two large suction cups fastened on the back of the soap container wall. Both units are activated by applying pressure to the sponge with the back, for the back/wall unit, or with any other part of the body you wish to scrub with the hand held unit. The sponge, having pressure applied, slides back towards the spring loaded pumps. The soap jets which are fastened onto the back plate and are directly connected to the pumps,  move  back  with  the  sponge  and  back  plate compressing the  springs  on  the  pumps;   therefore activating the pumps and supplying a sufficient amount of soap directly onto the user's skin by way of the soap jets. Two soap lines lead from the pumps down into the bottom of the container to supply the pumps with liquid soap. Once the constant pressure is released from the sponge,  it slides back into  its original position by means of the springs on the pumps. The whole compression action is reversed therefore reseting the pumps.  The back/wall unit can be fitted with a soft cloth to apply lotions  or  medications,  e.g.  sunscreen  or  A535.  Two locking devices are placed on the back plate side walls. Once these locks are manually set, the sponge and back plate cannot slide back to operate the pumps. The soft cloth fits snuggly over the sponge enabling the user to apply any lotion to it and cover all areas of the back.          ABSTRACT

Title: Foamed polyvinylchloride saddle-cloth
Inventor: ARNOLD SIDNEY A
IPC: B68C1/12
Filed: 1993-02-12
Abstract: A saddle-cloth for interposition between an animal's back and a saddle comprises a layer of foamed polyvinylchloride of a density of between 130 and 160 kg/m3. One side of the layer has a plate finished surface. When the saddle-cloth is placed on a horse the plate finished surface is juxtaposed the horse's back and it remains in frictional engagement with the horse's back even when the horse warms-up and begins to sweat. The other side of the mat retains good frictional contact with the saddle thus substantially preventing any slippage of the saddle on the horse's back. Typically, the mat is between 4 and 12mm thick and is shaped and configured to conform generally to the lower surface of the saddle, whether it be a racing saddle, a show jumping type saddle a rodeo or western style saddle or any other type of saddle.

Title: Thermooxidative stabilization of polymers with an n4-alkylated oxo-piperazinyl-triazine
Inventor: KLETECKA GEORGE
IPC: C08L23/02
Filed: 1991-09-06
Abstract: An oxo-piperazinyl triazine with three piperazinone substituents, each of which has an alkylated N4 atom (''MPIP-T''), used in an amount no more than 0.2 phr, and without any secondary stabilizer (hence referred to as a ''virgin MPIP-T''), and in particular, without any hindered phenol antioxidant, or phosphorous acid ester, simultaneously provides thermooxidative stability and stability against degradation by UV light along with acceptable melt processability. Further, the virgin MPIP-T allows (i) uninterrupted operation of a die or mold while maintaining the surfaces of the cavities essentially contaminant-free; and, (ii) excellent AO  stabilization which is equivalent to that obtained with a premier hindered phenol AO, and superior to that obtained with the premier oligomeric piperidinyl-triazine compound, when each stabilizer is used in the same amounts by weight in a thermoplastic synthetic resinous substrate.

Title: Fuse or Circuit Breaker Status Indicator
Inventor: YENISEY OSMAN M
IPC: H01H85/30
Filed: 1993-07-23
Abstract: A status indicator for monitoring a fuse or a circuit breaker, including optically isolated triggering and alarm circuits which can be integrated into a fuse holder or circuit breaker housing. More particularly, a status indicator having an LED connected in series with a fuse or circuit breaker across a power source, and a phototransistor arrangement, connected across the power source, in series with an alarm circuit. The arrangement is configured so that as long as current flows through the fuse or circuit breaker, the LED produces light which causes the phototransistor to be maintained in a non-conducting state, and the status indicator to remain in a non-alarm state. Upon failure of the fuse or circuit breaker, current flow to the LED is interrupted, resulting in the phototransistor being biased into a conductive state, and the alarm circuit being activated. A normally closed switch is employed to interrupt the current flow to the LED, thereby simulating fuse or circuit breaker failure, and providing a convenient means for the on-line testing the status indicator. Multiple LEDs, each associated with a separate monitored fuse or circuit breaker, can be connected to a single normally closed switch, thereby facilitating the simultaneous testing of numerous status indicators through the actuation of a single switch.
