The present invention relates to a wrinkle reducing composition for use on fabrics, particularly clothing. The composition comprises a wrinkle reducing active, which is made up of an effective amount of silicone and an effective amount of film-forming polymer, and a liquid carrier. The composition is substantially free of starch, modified starch, and mixtures thereof, and results a Loss Modulus Difference of greater than about 3.3.times.10.sup.7 Pascal on fabric. The composition can be incorpora...

A soft fabric bra with a center breast support pad to be worn by a woman while sleeping that is structured to support an upper breast, with the woman sleeping on her side, to prevent the upper breast from sagging and thereby prevent the formation of wrinkles in the skin of the upper chest of the woman.

A cleavage wrinkle protector is constructed of satin or similar lingerie type fabric and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. The protector includes stretch lace neck and torso straps. The protector is approximately 61/2 inches long and 21/2 inches side. The protector is designed to be worn between the woman's breast while sleeping to protect the cleavage skin from folding when she lies on her side.

An arrangement for the removal of wrinkles from a person's face in which a pressure applying part is inserted into the mouth for applying localized pressure against the interior surface of the flesh having the wrinkle on the outside surface. An external pressure applying part connected to the internal part applies pressure to the wrinkled area on the outside surface of the flesh and against the internal part.

A method and appliance for reducing facial wrinkles. In the method, a pressure-sensitive adhesive appliance is tightly applying to wrinkle prone areas of the human face in such a manner that the skin under the appliance is placed in a flattened and smoothed configuration. The appliance remains in place for at least four hours and then is removed in a manner to strip dead skin cells from the skin. These steps are repeated a plurality of times over a long period of time. The appliance transmits mo...

There are provided wrinkle reducing compositions and method for treating fabrics in order to improve various properties of fabrics, in particular, reduction or removal of unwanted wrinkles, by means of an aqueous composition comprising a nonionic polyhydric alcohol humectant and a water-soluble wetting agent selected from a cationic surfactant, a non-alkoxylated nonionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant.

A wrinkle removing device comprises, inside a holding body and a sole under the body, a heating resistor for heating the sole, thermostat for temperature controlling the sole in a predetermined control cycle, a motor for producing vibrations and an electrical circuit. The electrical circuit includes the heating resistor, the thermostat and the motor, and is supplied with alternating current to power the heating resistor and the motor, in each case during at least one half-wave of the alternating...

In a wrinkle release arrangement for a dryer, a heater heats articles to be wrinkle released, and a timer times the heating of the articles. The timer establishes a wrinkle out cycle. A temperature sensor senses a temperature related to a temperature of the articles. A control circuit substantially alternately energizes the heater and the timer in response to the temperature sensor in order to provide automatic wrinkle release responsive to load.

Fabric wrinkles are automatically evaluated using a reliable, accurate, affordable, and efficient system. Two algorithms are used, the facet model algorithm and the plane-cutting algorithm, to extract features for evaluating wrinkles in fabrics. These algorithms eliminate the need for independent evaluation of a fabric specimen by a technician.

A dressing for use with ostomy devices. The dressing has a dressing layer covered by protective cover layer and a release sheet. The dressing has an adhesive composition on a skin-contacting surface. The dressing layer has a thick center portion surrounded by a flange portion with a hole to accommodate the ostomy device. The thick portion has a thickness of less than 2.0 mm. and preferably a thickness of 0.91 mm. The flange portion has a thickness of 0.15 to 1.80 mm. and extends no more than 5.0...
