Abstract: An iris fixation intraocular lens comprising an optical portion and a side support portion comprising a pair of pincer-like extensions for holding a portion of iris tissue.

Abstract: A non-leaking pump spray valve having a dispensing plunger which is vertically movable so as to depress or raise a sealing disc which is preferably flexible and of a flap type.

Abstract: A motor comprising a plurality of electromagnetic solenoids forming a core passageway for an armature consisting of alternatingly magnetizable and non-magnetic elements. Only one magnetizable element is in an energized solenoid at any given time, thus providing lower current requirements.

Abstract: A mounting insulator for securing a pipe, conduit, or tube through a metal wall stud or other thin planar surface to reduce the noise of water hammer and dialectic interaction between the pipe and the wall stud, the device including an off-center pipe receiving passage which allows for adjustable positioning of a pipe axis relative to the stud aperture axis.The device is comprised of a substantially annular, somewhat flexible ring having a radial slot allowing the annular body to be spread apart and an interior circular passage, the central axis of which is offset relative to the axis of the annular ring. The circular passage includes a flexible wall portion which allows for a snug fit when a pipe is received therein. The device further includes a raised peripheral barrier and a plurality of flanges which cooperate to allow the device to be locked tightly in an aperture in a metal wall stud.

Abstract: The monitor has means for automatically initiating a counter which displays accumulated bottom time and surface interval and means for preventing resetting until a safe surface interval has elapsed.

Abstract: A distilled water apparatus which comprises in nested vapor-sealed arrangement, a bottom raw water tank, a storage tank and a cooling and condensing tank. The storage tank has an outer annular storage compartment surrounding a vertical vapor passage and can be equipped with a basket for holding coffee or the like so that the device acts as a self-contained distilled water coffee maker.

Abstract: A mechanical inserting device particularly adapted for insulin syringes. A resilient member resting on the shoulders of a syringe barrel is held in tension and when released, drives a needle through the skin.

Abstract: A pair of reflector assemblies are mounted on opposite sides of a bicycle wheel with their reflective surface being transversed to the length of the bicycle. Each assembly has back-to-back reflective surfaces of two selected, different colors, as for example red and amber. When the wheels spin, illumination from the front or rear produces a sharp flashing or stroboscopic effect.

Abstract: An apparatus for recovering in usable form the undamaged portion of a damaged roll of paper. The roll of paper is supported on its core so as to permit unreeling. A pivotable cutting assembly is positioned so that its power driven blade cuts the undamaged portion away from the damaged portion as it is unreeled. A roller means is positioned so as to support from below the damaged portion of the roll.

Abstract: A device for detecting faults in an enclosed loop burglar alarm circuit wherein changes in resistance caused by faults result in a change in pitch of an otherwise low, continuous audible tone.

Abstract: A building unit which comprises a column adapted to be fitted to a foundation and supporting a plurality of identical, doubly-curved umbrella, hyperbolic paraboloid shells inverted so that their top edges form a plane figure, and a continuous, horizontal member integrated with said edges.

Abstract: A safety device to be used with a machine so as to have the operator keep both hands occupied during operation of the machine. The device includes a solenoid member having a core extension which blocks a first control element of the machine when the solenoid member is energized. The operator pushes a hand-operable switch and a hand-operable actuation member which in turn actuates a second control element.

Abstract: A medication for the relief of the discomfort associated with cold sores, lesions of the mouth commonly known as canker sores, and herpes simplex virus, which medication is a mixture of kelp and a vehicle which may be glycerin that acts as a carrier for the active ingredients of kelp.

Abstract: A locking mechanized enclosure is mounted at the edge of a hinged window grate so that its interior side wall and front wall are inaccessible from the outside and all of its exposed walls are solid. A locking member extends into the enclosure from the window frame in back of vertical blocking member within the enclosure. The blocking member can be raised by depressing a pivoted plate. However, access to the plate is only through a door in the enclosure which can be opened only from inside the grate.

Abstract: A flashing characterized as being highly resistant to flexure, cutting, punctures and low temperatures, a non-metallic laminate made of thin polyester film held between fibrous glass mesh sheets with a resinous adhesive.

Abstract: An electrical connector adapted to engage a plug and formed from an insulating frame with two open ends and a resilient, conductive plastic member across each end. The resilient conductive members have orifices in which the plugs are inserted and gripping finger portions adapted to press against the exposed conductive portions of the plug.
