Abstract: A telephone apparatus comprises a telephone cord retraction device positioned between a base unit and a handset of the telephone apparatus. The retraction device includes a housing enclosing a length of telephone cord and a spring assembly, and a male telephone connector located exterior of the housing. The male connector is substantially rigidly connected to a substantially rigid extension that is substantially rigidly connected to the housing of the retraction device. The male telephone connector is disposed within the female telephone connector of the base unit when the retraction device is installed on the base unit.

Abstract: A deformable intraocular lens insertion system comprising a lens injecting device and a lens cartridge with a rotary connecting arrangement between the lens injecting device and the lens cartridge. The invention includes preloading the deformable intraocular lens insertion system, in particularly the lens cartridge to reduce the amount of packaging, prevent damage to the deformable intraocular lens during packaging and shipping, allow the preloaded lens cartridge to be autoclaved as a unit, and eliminate the step of loading the lens cartridge with the deformable intraocular lens by the end user to prevent potential damage during this step.

Abstract: A surgical implantation device for insertion of a deformable intraocular lens into the eye through a relatively small incision made in the ocular tissue comprising a lens injecting device having a plunger with a plunger tip configured to provide a side clearance between the plunger tip and lens insertion passageway through the surgical implantation device to accommodate the trailing haptic of the deformable intraocular lens to prevent damage thereto during insertion.

Abstract: An aerosol dispenser having a swinging downtube. Further, the aerosol dispenser is preferably provided with a concave bottom when viewing the bottom from inside the container.

Abstract: A deformable intraocular lens injecting apparatus having a movable plunger with a deformable plunger tip, preferably a resiliently deformable plunger tip. In a preferred embodiment, the plunger tip is made of soft resiliently deformable material to prevent any surface or internal damage to the deformable intraocular lens being forced through a delivery passageway of the lens injecting apparatus.

Abstract: The present intraocular lens includes a body portion and an optic portion. A thickness of the body portion is between 0.3 to 0.98% of a thickness of the intraocular lens itself which lens includes the body portion and the optic portion, and from 0.011 and 0.015% of a length of the body portion. The thickness of the intraocular lens itself, from 0.095 and 0.192% of the length of the body portion. The diameter of the optic portion is from 0.153 and 0.7% of the length of the body portion. The optic portion can have an anterior surface having a radius of curvature of from 0.29 and 0.967% of the radius of curvature of the posterior surface of said intraocular lens. The lens is implanted by insertion into the posterior chamber of the eye to a position anterior to the natural crystalline lens of the eye. The implanted lens is effective in correcting moderate to severe forms of hypermetropia.

Abstract: An intraocular lens injection system comprising an injecting device and cartridge. The cartridge comprises a lens holding portion and an outer sleeve portion. The invention includes a method of pre-loading the injecting system, particularly the cartridge, to reduce the amount of packaging, prevent damage to the intraocular lens during packaging and shipping, allow the pre-loaded injecting cartridge to be autoclaved as a unit, and eliminate the step of loading the cartridge with the intraocular lens by the end user to prevent potential damage during this step.

Abstract: A heating apparatus for false twisting of synthetic fiber is desired to be a non-contact type high-temperature heating apparatus from the viewpoints of efficiency and energy saving. However, in this case, it is necessary to process a long metal bar to form a long passage through which a filament passes and accommodate a long heating member in the metal bar. This processing is very difficult to do. To solve this problem, this invention has been proposed. A main body is made of metal so that the main body is constructed in the form of a tube or it is tubular and bent relative to the length of the main body. End walls are formed on both ends of the main body. In the main body, passages through which filaments pass are provided along the length of the main body and guides are provided. Further, heat-conductive powder or grain is contained in the main body and additionally, a heating member is provided therein.
