Three-dimensional stitchery creations are formed according to predetermined stitchery methods on apparatus compromising a base member having dimensions of height, width and length according to the three-dimensions of the stitchery creations formed thereon. The base member has a plurality of surfaces over which are distributed a multiplicity of projections about which stitchery materials may be looped and woven on a given surface and from one surface to another according to the predetermined stit...

A frame device for quilting and lace beading. This device consists primarily of elongated strip members which are fastened to leg members, the strips being adjustable so as to form a square or rectangular frame for hand weaving and the like.

A hand weaving device comprising a frame having a peripheral strip provided with a row of notches each receiving a H-shaped hook formed of two parallel bars connected by a stem, with the stem received in the notch and with the bar ends below the stem straddling the strip. Warp yarn is stretched between yarn holding means formed on the H-shaped hooks and warp yarn holding means opposite each hook across the frame. Weft yarn is woven without the need for shuttles or needles of any kind by alternat...

The invention relates to a toothbrush with a neck piece and a brush body, comprising a head piece connected thereto, conventional bristles and at least one soft elastic cleaning element. According to the invention, the conventional bristles are mounted on a support element made from hard plastic. The above is connected to the brush body by means of a recess on the head piece which matches the support element. The at least one cleaning element is arranged on the head piece and directly connected ...

A manually operated scrub brush implement uses batteries to drive a motor, through gearing to rotate a first scrub brush mounted on the implement for rotational brush cleaning of soiled surfaces. A second, stationary scrub brush, mounted at an angle in relation to the first scrub brush, is positioned on the lower surface of the implement to allow the user the option to use the scrub brush implement as a manual scrub brush as well, by applying pressure on the handle section of the implement to cl...

A silicon chip is attached to a planar light circuit. A recessed moat is formed around an output perimeter of a surface of the silicon chip. When soldering the silicon chip to the planar light circuit, the recessed moat is filled with solder.

Multi-chamber pacing may result in capture of one chamber, capture of multiple chambers, fusion, or non-capture. Approaches for detecting various capture conditions during multi-chamber pacing are described. Pacing pulses are delivered to left and right heart chambers during a cardiac cycle. A cardiac electrogram signal is sensed following the delivery of the pacing pulses. Left chamber capture only, right chamber capture only, and bi-chamber capture may be distinguished based on characteristics...

An electric toothbrush having a handpiece, a bristle holder which is arranged on a head portion of the handpiece and is rotatable about an axis of rotation of the bristle holder, and a drive mechanism for the bristle holder. The drive mechanism includes a motor which is arranged on the handpiece, and a transmission member which transfers a driving motion from the motor to the bristle holder. The transmission member is arranged to rock in multiple axes and is arranged to be driven by the motor su...

An electric toothbrush having movable and static carriers which independently slidingly engage the receiving member of the toothbrush head within channels defined by the surfaces of the receiving member. Such carriers can be releasably removable to replace or exchange the carriers. Also disclosed is a toothbrush having a unique assembly utilizing a one-piece housing in combination with a movable bristle carrier that is engaged on a receiving member located at the distal end of the toothbrush, an...

A motorized telescoping cleaner with a plurality of varied attachments that removably attach to the top of the telescoping joints, the joints progressively telescoping such that the length of the invention can extend and contract, a top joint which also features a pivot which bends to 90 degrees from the plane of the remaining joints, the top pivot containing a motor coupled to a flexible drive rod, thereby enabling pivoted drive of attachments. The motor is connected via electrical wire to batt...
