Abstract: An infant support pad, particularly for use with premature or smaller infants provides support for the head and neck of an infant including lateral movement as well as forward movement of an infant's head and is made up of a padded base layer extending along a substantial length of an infant's body, a deformable support member at one end of the base layer to provide support to an infant's head and neck, and complementary fasteners are attached to the base layer and support member to provide for adjustability of the support member around an infant's head and neck. The fastener means that releasably attach the support member to the base layer are located in inner and outer positions, with the outer locations providing a broader U-shaped opening, and the inner locations providing a narrower U-shaped position, with terminal ends of the support member converging inwardly.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for particulate removal from liquids is disclosed and includes a Coanda tilted wire wedge wire screen in combination with a liquid-flow velocity control orifice mounted within a cylindrical air-tight vessel that can be operated under pressure. The liquid flow velocity control orifice and Coanda tilted wire wedge wire screen in combination with the pressurized system provides for highly efficient and uniform removal of particulate matter that includes a self-cleaning feature.

Abstract: A toddler head support having a unitary support member which includes a padded central support portion and padded side support portions having rounded ends. The central support portion includes a support panel which provides a support base for a wire that forms looped members on each of the side supports.

Abstract: A grease, smoke, and odor extraction system includes an outer housing including a lower entrance passage and an upper exit duct for drawing the exhaust airstream upwardly through a scrubbing chamber, the lower entrance passage is fitted with a pipe which discharges ozone gas into the exhaust air and, alternatively, a water supply manifold which directs the water into the ozonated exhaust stream at the chamber area in such as way as to create a vortex of water droplets in the ozonated exhaust stream to encourage the extraction of grease, fumes, and other contaminants from the stream. Several alternate embodiments as described including a housing, an ozone generator, an ozone injector into the housing in combination with a baffle member and alternatively water and filter members for use with kitchen exhaust systems as well as water treatment systems and the like.

Abstract: A support cushion for newborns, infants and toddlers that is adjustable with the growth of the child. The cushion is formed of an upper panel, a lower panel and adjustable side flaps that aid in supporting the head, neck and body of an infant.

Abstract: An infant crib wherein the crib portion is elevated in order to accommodate a wheelchair passing under the crib bed. The invention is preferably comprised of spaced support members supporting a horizontal base member at an elevated position high enough to accommodate the seat portion of a wheelchair beneath the base member. There is at least one side panel surrounding the base member slidable laterally between a closed and open position to enable a person seated in a wheelchair to have access to an infant placed on the base member when the slide panel is in the open position. A drawer member is positioned under the base member to allow a person seated in a wheelchair to have access to any necessary items.

Abstract: A snowboard teaching and recreational device by which an instructor may direct the movement, weight shift and control the center of gravity of the pupil. The device preferably uses two parallel tubes as a support frame, with two crossbars secured to the support frame and spaced handle grips on each crossbar. The instructor grasps one end of the support frame while the pupil grasps the opposite end, thereby allowing the instructor to direct the weight shift and movements of the pupil through use of the said device.
