International Classification:

A63B 2302

US Classification:

482 11, 482124, 482128

Abstract:

A facial muscle exercising device is designed for insertion between the lips of a persons mouth. The facial muscle exercising device is comprised of a pair of lip-engaging members disposed in longitudinal separation from each other. Each of these lip-engaging members has a convex outwardly curved side with a concave groove defined therein. A pair of the elongated, coaxially aligned telescopically engaged spreader members are urged apart by an axially compressible coil spring having opposing ends and disposed in coaxial alignment with the telescoping spreader members. A guide rod is provided and is anchored to one of the lip-engaging members. The free end of the guide rod extends through a guide passage in the other lip-engaging member. The guide rod is aligned parallel to the coaxial, telescoping spreader members.

Abstract:

A facial muscle exercising device has flared and weighted lip-engaging members biased apart by a compressed coil spring. The lip-engaging members include exposed ends that extend longitudinally outwardly away from the users face and which have a sufficient weight that the users cheek muscles are required to overcome the gravitational force acting on the outwardly projecting ends of the device. The facial muscle exercising device also has inner ends that project into the mouth cavity, and which are flared transversely outwardly to follow the contour of and contact the inner cheek surfaces of the users mouth. Preferably, the exposed outwardly projecting ends have removable weights so that the gravitational force to be overcome can be varied to the extent desired by the user. The removable weights may be stainless steel desks that are held in seats formed in the distal extremities of the outwardly projecting ends of the facial muscle exercising device. The device itself may be formed with magnets that hold the stainless steel desks in position in weight-receiving seats formed in the distal extremities of the outwardly projecting ends of the exercising device.

A47G029/02

US Classification:

248/235000

Abstract:

A wall hanging support system employs a wall hanging apparatus with a flat elongated body having a cradle at its lower end and an inclined hanger attachment engagement tang at its upper end. At least one fastener extends through the central portion of the body into the wall. A leveling capsule is supported by the cradle beneath the fastener to assist in aligning the wall attachment device in a horizontal orientation. A hanger attachment device is attached to an article, such as a shelf, that is to be hung on the wall. The hanger attachment device has a downwardly inclined wall attachment engaging tang that is inserted in between the wall and the upwardly inclined hanger attachment engagement tang of the wall attachment device.

International Classification:

US Classification:

434307A

Abstract:

In a self-operated karaoke recording booth a user is provided with a selection of background scenes from which to choose and also with the option of having the lyrics of the karaoke selection displayed or suppressed. A video camera positioned at the user's eye level is located on the nonreflective side of a one-way mirror and is directed at a specified performer location through the one-way mirror, which is inclined at a forty-five degree angle relative thereto. Messages and video displays are provided to the user by a video display monitor connected to a computer that faces the reflective side of the one-way mirror and is also located at a forty-five degree angle relative thereto. The system is designed to maintain the visual focus of the performer directly into the lens of the video camera throughout the performance and to combine the video camera images with the background scene in such a way as to avoid a double exposure or phantom image of the performer against the background. The performer can choose to have the lyrics of the selected karaoke composition displayed or suppressed.
