  • Patent number: 5357951
    Abstract: The cardiac pulmonary resuscitator improved patient valve has a top and bottom portion joined together forming a cylindrical housing. A diaphragm is mounted between the housing top and bottom portions through which air passes to and from the patient. A rigid tubular port integral with the top portion has a first opening outside the housing and a second opening inside the top portion. A pair of stops on each side of the second opening prevents the diaphragm from blocking air into the rigid tubular port so that some air to and from the patient flows through the rigid tubular port to an air sampling device for making a reading.

  • Patent number: 5348295
    Abstract: A golf shaft is attached to a removable sphere at a first end portion in the shaft. The sphere is mounted within a pocket of a top portion of a putter head and seats within a first or second cavity in a bottom portion of the putter head when the top and bottom portions of the putter head are joined. Set screws located in the bottom portion of the putter head retain the sphere and half spheres, located in a middle cavity and either the first or second cavity in the bottom portion, seated in place. Retraction of the set screws to the sphere permits movement of the shaft so that its angle with respect to the putter head can be adjusted.
