Abstract: A multiple-joint therapy machine includes a support frame and a rotatable base supported at a selectable height on the support frame. The rotatable base is configured to be releasably securable at a selectable angular orientation with respect to the support frame. A carrier link is at least pivotably mounted with respect to the rotatable base and is movable at least pivotably with respect to the rotatable base about a main axis. A geared hinge at least pivotably connects the carrier link with respect to the rotatable base. The geared hinge includes a main shaft and an attached sun gear. A planet carrier is rotatably attached to the main shaft. A planet shaft and an attached planet gear are rotatably attached to the planet carrier.

Abstract: A shoulder range of motion machine includes a stationary base frame and a shoulder-manipulation mechanism including a movable base frame supported on the stationary base frame for at least pivoting motion about a main vertical axis. A horizontal linear actuator is configured to drive the movable base frame in at least pivoting motion with respect to the stationary base frame about the main vertical axis. A vertical support is mounted on the movable base frame. An arm-carrier support is mounted on the vertical support for at least pivoting motion about a main horizontal axis. An arm-carrier-angle linear actuator is configured to drive the arm-carrier support in at least pivoting motion with respect to the vertical support about the main horizonal axis. An arm carrier is mounted on the arm-carrier support. A controller is operatively connected to at least one of the horizontal linear actuator or the arm-carrier-angle linear actuator.

Abstract: A programmable range of motion system has a frame, a range of motion device, a controller, a computer and sensors. The frame has a seat to support a rehab patient. The range of motion device is attached to the frame. The actuator, servo or alternate mechanism selectively rotates the range of motion device through a range of motion for a rehab patient's limb. The controller controls the actuator, servo or alternate mechanism. The computer is connected electronically to the controller. The computer has a software, program or application including a plurality of programmable range of motion movements for exercising the limb. The sensor detects movements of the actuator, servo or alternate mechanism and records data back to the computer. The term actuator as used hereafter includes servo or alternate articulating mechanism.

Abstract: A training and swing exercise device with resilient resistance is used as a training apparatus for developing greater power and strength at impact when striking a ball. The device provides impact resistance to a golfer, baseball player's, hockey player's, field hockey player's and tennis player's swing in order to develop greater strength and power at ball impact. The striking unit which pivots provides high impact absorption.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing roof shingles includes an elongated body having a handle at its upper end and a lift plate pivotally connected to its lower end. The lift plate includes a removable blade at its leading edge and a roller that parallels the leading edge. The lift plate is linked to a pneumatically powered actuator that causes the lift plate to pivot about the roller upon the activation of a trigger mounted in the handle. The handle both rotates around the body and is movable linearly along the body against a biasing compression spring.
