Abstract: A dispensing apparatus and method for spraying the hands of a person is provided. The apparatus includes a housing having a plurality of walls forming a chamber for the hands and having an opening for inserting the hands into the chamber. The apparatus has an L-shaped actuating member having a pivot supported by a wall. The L-shaped member has a horizontal leg supported by the pivot, a disc portion disposed in the chamber for contact by the hands, and has a vertical leg with a tip bearing portion disposed outside the housing. The apparatus also has a resilient cantilever beam having a first portion with a cavity which receives a cap portion of an aerosol container, and having a second portion which is fixedly connected to a wall of the housing. The resilient cantilever beam has a passageway from the cavity to an orifice inside the chamber for spraying a substance. from the container, while containing the disc portion in the chamber.

Abstract: A portable traction table in one embodiment, has two spaced base supports having guide rails therebetween along which a good carriage travels. A flat body-supporting panel mounts removable over the base. The user's feet are strapped into the foot carriage by means of a flexible belt which is cinched around the user's ankles by means of a long-handled clamp. A manually operated biasing mechanism, such as a hydraulic pump or a screw jack, is operated by the user to urge the foot carriage toward a forward portion of the apparatus.

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus for impregnating paper with fragrances or other substances is provided having a flat top member supported by two flat members. An aerosol container fits into a U-shaped support attached to the side of the leg members. An elongated hollow member extending across the flat top member is used to dispense substances across paper unrolled from a roll of paper supported between the leg members. A cantilevered lever having an aperture engages the stem of the aerosol container. As the lever is pushed down, substances sprayed from the container pass through the aperture into the elongated hollow member unformly impregnating the paper under the member. A pump bottle may be used instead of the aerosol container if desired. Another embodiment of the dispensing apparatus for impregnating individual sheets of tissue or paper is provided having two flat leg members supporting a removable upper portion.
