An extraction and insertion implement and method of retrieving foreign object debris and inserting fasteners in small spaces providing a rigid rod that is held and manipulated between fingers. A resilient bulbous member joins a distal end of the rod. The bulbous member is resilient to compression for positioning within confined spaces and has a bulbous shape to optimize engagement with FOD and fasteners. An adhesive member detachably encapsulates the bulbous member. The bulbous member can be precisely manipulated from the rod to extract and insert FOD and fasteners in small spaces. The adhesive member comprises an adhesive that binds with FOD and fasteners to extract and insert into the small space. The adhesive member may be removed from the bulbous member so that after use, the contaminated adhesive member can be removed and replaced with a new adhesive member. The implement may be used in medical application and various embodiments may detachable affix to a driver.

A device for removing lint, the device comprising: a housing; a roller for holding a roll of lint-removing material; wherein the roller and the roll of lint-removing material are dimensioned and configured to be housed by the housing, wherein the roller and housing are arranged such that the roller is deployable from the housing; and an actuator coupled with or formed by either the roller or the housing, the actuator being manipulate by a user to deploy the roller; and characterised in that the housing comprises a first element comprising a handle and a first housing portion and wherein the housing further comprises at least one rotatable housing portion which is rotatable with respect to the first housing portion in order to house or deploy the lint roller respectively.

A system includes a universal handle and a variety of tools selectively secured within the handle. The tools can be tools for grooming or collecting hair, and are especially useful with animals such as household pets. One example tool includes a mat breaker that is adjustable for left handed or right handed use. Another example tool is a fur sweeper tool and a fur accumulator tool. Other tools include deshedders, brushes, and combs.

An automatic and currentless dirt remover for collecting dirt from the area surrounding the dirt remover, having a dirt-collecting body and a rolling-action sheath body, which defines a receiving space for receiving the dirt-collecting body. The sheath body has openings for providing external access to the dirt-collecting body, which has a surface that collects the dirt.

Example aspects of a cosmetics removing tape for a cosmetics brush, a tape assembly, and a method for cleaning a cosmetics brush disclosed. The cosmetics removing tape for a cosmetics brush can comprise a sheet defining a front surface and a back surface; and a treatment applied to the front surface, wherein the treatment comprises an adhesive configured to remove residue from the cosmetics brush.

A disk, ball or sheet/strip shaped device is made of a silicone or thermoplastic elastomer substance having a tacky surface and a Shore Durometer hardness preferably in the range of 10 to 40. The device is adapted to be placed into a laundry washer or dryer, such that the tumbling motion causes the tacky surfaces of the device to rub against the clothing, thereby removing pet fur. Further tumbling causes the fur collected on the device to eventually disengage and be caught in the lint filter, vent or drain of the washer/dryer. In an alternate embodiment, the tacky silicone or thermoplastic elastomer can form a liner on agitators, fins or paddles within the washer/dryer so as to collect animal fur from fabrics.

A cleaning apparatus having a cleaning member movably arranged at a housing, the cleaning member having a cleaning portion for engaging a surface to be cleaned; a handle member connects with and is resiliently movable between a raised position and a lower position so that when the handle member is arranged at the raised position, a resilient member operably connecting the handle member with the housing is substantially compressed thereby applying a pressing force onto the cleaning member towards the surface to be cleaned.

The present disclosure includes a dusting article comprising a first material comprising a lofty nonwoven web, the first material forming a continuous loop with an interior surface and an exterior surface, and a first end and a second end. An adhesive layer is on at least the exterior surface of the first material. A second material comprising a barrier layer is disposed on the interior surface of the first material. And the first end comprises an opening.

The present invention provides a film application method that can prevent entry of foreign substances and air bubbles between the film and the application target even when the film is applied in a general environment in which foreign substances such as dust are floating. The film application method is a film application method that applies a functional film to a substrate, the method including the steps of: (1) applying a first adhesive layer to the substrate, with a foreign-substance-removing unit including the first adhesive layer and a first film being overlaid onto a main unit including a second film, a second adhesive layer, and the functional film; and (2) while peeling off both the foreign-substance-removing unit and the second film, with one end of the functional film fixed to the substrate, by pulling ends of the foreign-substance-removing unit and the second film adjacent to the fixed end of the functional film through between the substrate and the functional film, applying the second adhesive layer exposed by removal of the second film to the surface of the substrate exposed by removal of the foreign-substance-removing unit.

A stack of lint removing sheets suitable for use in removing lint from clothing includes a plurality of sheets stacked on top of one another, with each sheet including an adhesively-backed surface and a non-adhesively backed surface. Each sheet, when part of the stack of sheets, has its adhesively-backed surface against the non-adhesively backed surface of another sheet. Each sheet includes a strip that, when the sheet is removed from the stack of sheets, forms a passageway with the rest of the sheet into which a user's hand can be inserted. The strip of each sheet does not have an adhesively-backed surface.
