This invention designs cosmetic compositions for improving the appearance of skin and nails. The invention provides a cosmetically acceptable composition for removing the appearance of wrinkles and for hardening nails. A method for reducing the appearance of wrinkles according to the invention comprises applying to the skin a cosmetic composition comprising an effective amount of a superabsorbent ionic: polymer or copolymer comprising acrylate and/or acrylamide monomers or other suitable highly ...

The present application relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry detergent product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.

The invention concerns the treatment of clothes for dry wrinkle resistance, in particular in-wear wrinkle resistance. The clothes are treated with an amphoteric polymer and secured in the desired configuration, preferably during a process of ironing.

A composition comprising a mixture of a curable urea-aldehyde resin or other crosslinking agent and a nitroalkanol or nitroalkane and having particular utility for treating textiles and non-woven cellulose products to provide permanent press and wrinkle-resistant characteristics.

A circuit controller which in addition to providing a program for actuating functions of a clothes dryer also includes a means to provide an additional program to prevent wrinkling of the clothes after the normal drying program is completed. The additional program is provided in a gear train of a motor and follower means are provided to be actuated by the additional program to open and close electrical switches.

A laundry detergent composition and method of laundering clothes is disclosed which relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry detergent product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.

Powdered coating compositions and methods for obtaining improved wrinkled finishes with epoxy powder coatings are provided which utilize curing agents other than commercially available methylenedisalicylic acid.

Improved seat cover for a seat having a tiltable back member includes a rear cover portion which covers the entire rear of the seat back and seat cushion, thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the seat and eliminating any chance of a person's fingers being pinched as the seat is moved from its forward to its normal position. The lower end portion of the rear cover portion is attached to a resilient means such as a sheet of elastic material or to a plurality of springs located under the bott...

A yarn structure is provided that imparts improved wrinkle resistance in fabrics produced therefrom. The yarn is composed of plurality of filaments or strands that are intermittently connected or fused by an essentially permanent bond, i.e., analogous to spot welding, along their lengths. The appropriate distribution of these points of bonding, preferably varying from a distance of about 20 filament diameters as an upper limit to a frequency of about one in 2,000 filament diameters measured alon...

A construction system comprising a method and an article employed in said method which is used to engage the edge of adjacent membranes along the top of a beam constituting an arch in a tension membrane structure and pull the membranes toward each other by tightening alternate bolts attached to the beam and the edge of the membrane.
