Abstract: The present invention is directed to a foot beam insert. The beam is a cannulated beam having a chamber defined by the hollow space inside the beam. The beam includes holes along the length of the beam that communicate between the hollow chamber inside and the outside of the beam. The beam further includes a groove or grooves in the outside surface of the beam.

Abstract: Toe cap implant for correction of Hallux Rigidus has a cap having a head with a convex articular surface and opposite the articular surface an attaching feature that can attach the cap to a bone screw. The cap and screw can provide for an ensemble or a kit.

Abstract: An improved spin dryer having an improved braking system, vibration absorbing suspension system, and automatic power shut off system. This spin dryer is safe, inexpensive, and substantially free from vibration and noise. The spin dryer of this invention also contains a spin compartment which will stop spinning typically upon a slight upward movement of the lid and spin once again upon the release of a small downward press on the dryer lid.

Abstract: A high speed dehydrator or centrifugal extractor includes an article receiving rotatable drum or basket driven by a high rpm electric motor, and further includes improvements in the housing assembly and interior mounting of the basket and motor, an improved braking mechanism comprised of a disc-type braking plate rotatable with the basket and a disc-type brake pad to be pressed into engagement therewith during braking operations, a pivotal cover for opening to yield access to the rotatable basket, means for biasing the brake pad toward engagement with the braking plate with the pivotal cover being opened, and linkage mechanism connected to the brake pad and engageable by a closing cover to release the braking mechanism.
