  • Patent number: 4876435
    Abstract: A device which, after washing hands, permits hands to be dried rapidly using hot air directed over, under, and around the hands. The hot air is activated when a hand is placed in position for drying and remains activated until the hand is removed. A touchless switch eliminates the spread of germs by eliminating the need to touch a switch or other object touched by and perhaps contaminated by others who previously used the hand drying device. Furthermore, since the hot air remains activated until the hand is removed, there is no need to retrigger the device since hot air is available as long as it is needed to dry the hands.

  • Patent number: 4768536
    Abstract: The Motorized Walker is a device containing a frame assembly which a person walking can hold onto for support and help prevent a fall which might otherwise occur.

This motorized feature permits support to be available at all times and the person using the device to walk faster than might otherwise be possible. This device also permits a person to walk where picking up a non-motorized walker might result in a fall since support is removed while the unit is being moved or where picking up a non-motorized walker is a formidable task.
