Abstract: A medical gin pole for use by patients in performing physical therapy has a collapsible construction to enable convenient portability. In an erected condition, the gin pole has an A-frame configuration formed by an elongated rectangular base and a pair of struts. Lower ends of each of the struts are frictionally engaged in spaced apertures formed in the base. Upper ends of each of the struts are pivotally mounted to a bracket. A folding brace extends between the struts and serves to retain the struts in an erected condition. A linear guide rod is pivotally mounted to the bracket for movement about a pivot axis perpendicular to the pivot axes of the strut. The linear guide rod may be extensible and terminates in a mounting plate for securement to a vertical wall surface. A carriage is formed by a hollow sleeve surrounding the rod. The carriage is mounted for reciprocal movement along the linear guide rod and a pulley is suspended therefrom.
Abstract: A board game includes a rectangular game board divided into four quadrants. Each quadrant is divided into a series of adjacent spaces which form a rectangular grid pattern on the game board. The spaces in each quadrant bear indicia designating two of all but one card of a particular suit of cards in a standard playing card deck. Four corner spaces on the game board are designated as "joker" spaces. In play, two standard playing card decks are shuffled together and are partially distributed evenly among a group of players. Players may be divided into two teams, or may play as individuals. In either case, each team or individual player utilizes a different set of distinct game tokens. An initial player discards a card and covers a matching space on the game board with a token selected from one set of game tokens. The player then draws a card from an undistributed portion of the shuffled cards.
Abstract: A hair crimping device for use in setting human hair includes a pair of complementary formed triangular wave form members dimensioned for nesting engagement. A base plate is secured to a first tiangular wave form member and includes an elongated projecting handle. A plurality of resilient tabs extend upwardly at opposite ends of the first triangular wave form member and a plurality of apertures are formed in a second trangular wave form member and dimensioned for engagement with the tabs for securing the first and second triangular wave form members in nesting relation. In use, an individual's hair is clamped between the triangular wave form members, thereby assuming a triangular wave form configuration. A plurality of holes are formed through each of the triangular wave form members for establishing fluid communication with hair clamped therebetween.
