US Patent:

41985591, Apr 15, 1980

Filed:

Dec 20, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/862310

Inventors:

Henry J. Walter - Wilton CT
Raymond W. Kunz - Monroe CT

Assignee:

Clairol Incorporated - New York NY

International Classification:

H05B 102

US Classification:

219387

Abstract:

An appliance is provided which is capable of transmitting heat retained therein to cooked food placed in the appliance, so that the food can be kept hot when an electrical cord used for initially causing the appliance to be electrically heated is disconnected therefrom. The appliance includes an outer casing and a removable cover, both of which are made of materials that retard heat loss from the appliance, preferably non-metallic materials. It further includes a housing enclosed by the casing and cover and made of a non-metallic material, such as plastic, in which a non-metallic heat retaining material, such as wax, is confined. Disposed throughout the heat retaining material is a resistance heater, which is removably connected to the electrical cord for melting the material, so that the heat of fusion of the melted material may be transmitted into the food to reduce its cooling rate after the heater is disconnected from the cord.

Abstract:

An appliance or device for treating hair includes a tubular barrel containing a generator for heat and vapor and a plurality of hair winding mandrels which are slidably mounted over the tubular barrel. The mandrels have different external sizes and configurations, but have interior structures which, though they may differ, allow each mandrel to be used with the same tubular barrel.

US Classification:

4241951

Abstract:

Described is a method for reducing physiological and/or subjective reactivity to stress in humans being subjected to stress conditions. The method consists of administering to such humans an effective amount of a physiological and/or subjective stress reactivity-reducing substance selected from the group consisting of: (i) Nutmeg Oil; (ii) Mace Extract; (iii) Neroli Oil; (iv) Valerian Oil; (v) Myristicin; (vi) Isoelemicin; and (vii) Elemicin. Administration is through inhalation or transdermally using one or more of the above ingredients alone or in a suitable composition such as ethanol and/or a perfume composition, cologne or perfumed article (e. g. , air freshener or deodorant stick). Also described is a method for detecting the reduction of physiological and/or subjective reactivity to stress in a human.

Filed:

Aug 7, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/931719

Inventors:

Henry J. Walter - Wilton CT
William E. Springer - Stratford CT

Assignee:

Clairol Incorporated - New York NY

International Classification:

H05B 100
A45D 236
F22B 2700
A45D 104

US Classification:

219222

Abstract:

A fluid delivery control device for regulating fluid delivery by a pump to the heated vaporization chamber of a steam curling iron through a fluid conduit provided with a spring biased valve in response to the temperature of a heating element in the chamber includes a bimetallic disc in the chamber having the property of changing its shape when heated to a temperature corresponding to the minimum temperature required of the heating element for vaporizing the fluid. A fluid delivery tube through which the fluid is delivered from conduit to the chamber has one end adjacent to the valve and the other end attached to the disc for movement therewith. When the chamber is below the minimum temperature, the disc pushes the one end of the tube against the valve to hold it closed and prevent delivery of fluid through the tube to the chamber. When the chamber is at or above the minimum temperature, the disc distorts and pulls the tube away from the valve, allowing the valve to be opened and fluid to be delivered through the tube to the chamber.

US Classification:

Abstract:

An appliance or device for treating hair includes a tubular barrel containing a generator for heat and vapor and a plurality of hair winding mandrels which are slidably mounted over the tubular barrel. The mandrels have different external sizes and configurations, but have interior structures which, though they may differ, allow each mandrel to be used with the same tubular barrel. A mandrel for straightening strands of hair when moved relative to the strands and for waving strands of hair when held stationary relative to the strands is provided. The mandrel is adapted to be removably associated with the tubular barrel. In the preferred embodiment, the mandrel is comprised of a heat-treating surface having a sinusoidal configuration. Apertures through the surface convey vapor from the vapor generator in the tubular barrel to the strands of hair engaged therewith. Contact points formed on the hair treating surface engage the surface of the tubular barrel to conduct heat from the heated vapor generating means to the hair treating surface and hair engaged therewith.

Appl. No.:

5/602864

Inventors:

Henry J. Walter - Wilton CT
William E. Springer - Shelton CT

Assignee:

Clairol Incorporated - New York NY

International Classification:

H01R 3900

US Classification:

339 8R

Abstract:

An electrical connection is made between an appliance and a power cord by means of a rotatable plug which is bonded to one end of the power cord and rotatably connected to a socket in the appliance. The plug effects electrical contact with the socket through a central contact member and an exposed concentric contact member which is coaxially disposed relative to the central contact member. The central contact member and the concentric contact member are engaged by spring contacts in the socket which allow the plug to rotate while always maintaining electrical contact. In order to isolate the electrical connection between the appliance and the plug from axial and transverse stresses, the plug is provided with a strain relief bushing which transfers stresses between the cord and appliance to the housing of the appliance. The bushing also allows the plug to rotate or swivel relative to the housing so that torsional stresses applied to the cord are kept to a minimum. To further reduce and distribute stresses on the cord, the plug has a tapered end portion with a series of parallel grooves therein.
