In an exemplary embodiment, a tool for hair care generally includes a handle, a supporting structure extending distally from the handle, and a plurality of curved teeth having curved cross sections. Each tooth terminates in a rounded tip. A lateral one of the teeth extends generally distally from a lateral portion of the supporting structure. At least some others of the teeth extend generally distally from a distal portion of the supporting structure. Tool embodiments can alleviate hair care and styling problems encountered by users who have curly, coarse, and/or coiled hair.

Exemplary embodiments of massaging devices are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment includes a piston having a longitudinal axis, a massaging head connected to the piston, a motor located on a first side of the longitudinal axis and a handle located on a second side of the longitudinal axis. A drive mechanism for moving the piston and massage head is also included.

A hand held exercise and fitness device includes a head section and a handle section. The head section has a variably Tillable hollow core portion and a handle attachment portion, an added weight being disposed within the head section and shifting with movement of the head section. The handle section has a head attachment portion and a gripping portion, and is made from a a couple of shells that are joined to one another to form an elongated member. The head section and the handle section are locked to one another by causing retainers protruding from the head attachment portion of the handle section to engage depressions defined on the handle attachment portion of the head section.

A device, and the use thereof, for imparting shearing force to superficial and deep fascial layers to improve soft tissue mobility and function. Embodiments of the invention include three general components: a strike head, a force transmitter and a patient interface. A strike force generated at or by the strike head is transmitted by the force transmitter (and normalized/modulated in the case of the force modulator version of the force transmitter) to the patient interface and thence to patient tissue.

An adjustable jewelry ring comprising: a first elongated member having a first length; a second elongated member having a second length, a second end of the second elongated member being attached to a first end of the first elongated member and a first end of the second elongated member being attached to a first bead; the second elongated member being flexible; a third elongated member having a third length, a second end of the third elongated member being attached to a second end of the first elongated member and a first end of the third elongated member being attached to a second bead; a slider coupling the second and third elongated members, arranged to be slidable to any position along the lengths of the second or third elongated members; wherein the combined lengths of the first, second and third elongated members is comprised between 50 and 150 millimeter.

A portable therapeutic device can include a handle, a rod, a resistance element, and an adjustment element. The handle can define a first slot and a second slot. The first slot can extend into the handle forming an opening in the handle and the second slot can be adjacent to the first slot. The rod can be translatable within the first slot and can extend from the opening. The resistance element can be disposed in the second slot and can be engageable with the rod to apply a resistance force to the rod. The adjustment element can be coupleable to the resistance element, and the adjustment element can be configured to adjust the resistance force.

A head assembly for a therapeutic massage device includes a battery mounted to a head portion of the head assembly and not installed within the stem portion of the head assembly. The head portion may include a heating element, and the stem portion may include features that allow a tight coupling between the head assembly and a main body of the therapeutic massage device.
