Abstract: A pneumatic massage device for applying suction to the skin including a suction cup member, a solenoid operated needle valve and a solenoid operated vacuum pump is provided. A pair of positioning straps are attached to the suction cup member to facilitate a person positioning the suction cup member on any desired area of his body without the assistance of another person. Each strap includes a form-fitted handle with a push-button switch to independently control the needle valve and vacuum pump.

Abstract: A clarinet stand made of semi-flexible plastic, constructed in such a way that there are no loose parts to assemble. Said stand, because of a unique, riveted spring action of the legs, makes possible the folding and unfolding of said legs in a matter of seconds. With legs folded, the units size and shape is comparable to that of the contour of the clarinet bell interior thus creating a unit that may be packed and stored in said bell while the clarinet is in the case. With the legs unfolded, the unit becomes a lightweight, durable stand which will hold the instrument securely, in a vertical position, when not in the player's hands.
