Compositions comprising UV blocking agents, a film forming polymer containing acid groups and a neutralizing agent; compositions and methods for increasing the SPF of a composition by neutralizing at least a portion of the acid groups of the film forming agent with the neutralizing agent.

Enhanced efficiency of sunscreen compositions

Certain aspects of the invention relate to compositions comprising UV blocking agents, a film forming polymer containing acid groups and a neutralizing agent. Such compositions have an increased SPF due to neutralization of at least a portion of the acid groups of the film forming agent by the neutralizing agent. The invention also discloses methods for increasing SPF of a composition as well as methods for using the novel composition.

An apparatus to aid in loading, holding and unloading a spare tire assembly mounted beneath a vehicle such as a truck. The apparatus includes a winch, an electric motor, coupling structure for operatively coupling the winch and motor, and an electric circuit which allows the motor and winch to be operated only by authorized personnel whereby the spare tire assembly can be safely secured underneath the vehicle.

Spare tire handling apparatus

A device is provided finding particular application in amusement or advertising applications, and includes an enclosure generally having a conventional beverage container shape. The enclosure includes a cylindrical structure having a first end and a second end. Means for attaching a solar cell to the first end of the enclosure includes a structure closing that end. The closing structure has a sleeve extending outwardly from it. The sleeve has a first end integrally formed with the attaching means and a second, free end. The second free end of the sleeve is adapted to receive an electrical motor. The motor includes a rotatably mounted shaft having an end extending outwardly of the enclosure. The outwardly extending end of the shaft has one of a plurality of terminations attached to it. The shaft and termination design determines the kind of movement imparted to the enclosure by the motor upon irradiation of the solar cell by a suitable source of electromagnetic energy.

Solar powered electric toy top

A toy top device adapted for a variety of uses is provided which utilizes a solar energy conversion means for powering the top. The device includes a base structure having an electric motor mounted to it so that a motor shaft and rotor assembly of the motor remain stationary while a stator assembly of the motor rotates. An enclosure is mounted to the stator assembly and rotates with it. The enclosure includes a translucent top wall and a side wall which together define a cavity. The enclosure carries the solar energy conversion means in light communicating relationship with the top wall, and is electrically connected to the motor. The enclosure preferably has a design silhouette resembling a conventional toy top. It may be used as a conventional spinning toy top. However, the device is adaptable to various uses by simple interconnection of additional structure to the enclosure.
