Abstract: A knee joint laxity measuring and displaying apparatus includes a housing 1 and a strap holder 2 interfixed by rods 3 and connectible to the lower leg by straps 15 and 16. A clinometer 11 mounted in the housing 1 measures internal-external rotation of the tibia with reference to the vertical. Electrical circuitry including the clinometer 11 compares actual readings with a zero reading and displays the difference. In a more advanced form of the apparatus, flexion and/or glide and glide force are measured and displayed.

Abstract: A motorcycle turn signal translucent lens has a central opening formed therethrough. A decorative cover is secured to the lens via fastening means engaging the cover and the opening in the lens. The cover has a plurality of openings provided thereon, thus, allowing the lens to remain viewable. The lens is secured to a motorcycle turn signal housing by additional fastening means.

Abstract: A mount for insertion into a hollow space of a hollow structure such as a vehicular pillar includes an expandable foam substrate having a at least one support panel secured thereto via a tack. The so-formed assembly is disposed within the hollow space via a mount component which includes a base having a pair of spaced apart mounting pieces which extend from the base, the assembly being disposed between the mount pieces. The assembly is tacked to the mount component by having a tack wire project through the support panel, the foam substrate and the mounting piece. The mount is secured to the interior wall of the hollow space through either a clip, a magnet, a suction disc or the like.

Abstract: Apparatus for compacting and for cutting voluminous objects of strong elasticity, notably pneumatics.The apparatus includes shears; positioned at the extremity of a tunnel of arranging and compacting, the tunnel has a rectangular cross section, narrowing toward the extremity and the four walls of the tunnel being constituted of parallel and juxtaposed rollers. The rollers are disposed transversely. The rollers of the vertical walls and of the horizontal superior wall being put into rotation by a motor apparatus.

Abstract: A polycentric hinged ulnar deviation splint for reducing deviation of the fingers in an ulnarward direction and for bringing the fingers into neutral alignment along a mid-longitudinal axis of the hand and forearm which allows free joint motion in all fingers and has no covering of the palm of the hand is disclosed. The splint has a proximal portion and a distal portion which are opposed and conform to the dorsum of the hand. Each extension of the proximal portion and the distal portion are attached by a polycentric hinge which forms a multi-axis polycentric joint in alignment with the metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand. The splint also includes at least one finger alignment component which is attached to the distal portion, as well as a strap for removably fastening the splint on the hand.

Abstract: A waterproof pocket, usable in beach or boating environments, can hold articles therein while keeping the articles dry. The pocket is formed of a water-impervious material. A seal, such as a slide fastener or interlocking ridges, is formed to prevent water from entering the pocket. The pocket can be attached to clothing, particularly to a swim suit. Alternately, the pocket may be held in a slot or other similar opening in the clothing.

Abstract: An indexing table having a mounting plate, a support plate and a base. The indexing table further has a lifting piston, locating pistons and clamps for clamping the support plate. The indexing table additionally provides a valve to carry out the specific operations.

Abstract: An animal chew toy has a shell made from a compressible material and has a plurality of openings formed therethrough. The chew toy has a hollow interior in which is disposed a quantity of dentifrice. When an animal chews the toy, dentifrice issues through the plurality of openings and encounters the teeth and gums of the animal. The shell may be wrapped with any suitable material to attract an animal, and may, likewise, contain a flavored or non-flavored odorant to attract an animal. Similarly, an odorant may be admixed with the dentifrice. If a wrapping is used, the wrapping has openings in communication with the openings in the shell to allow dentifrice to issue therethrough.

Abstract: A mirror mounting assembly is attachable to a wing-window portion of a vehicular door. The assembly has at least one mirror mounted on a support. The assembly additionally has a bracket which fits into the wing-window portion of a vehicular door. The bracket has a base member to which the support is secured and a clamping plate, which secures the assembly within the window. The base has a first member and second member hingedly connected. These members may then be opened and closed around the support. By this, the assembly is formed for deployment in a wing-window.

Abstract: Plumbing fittings, such as joints, couplings, nipples, etc. are disposed within an opened topped container such that a plurality of the various fittings are disposed within the container. A transparent heat shrinkable film is shrunk onto the opened top container to removably secure the fittings therewithin. Each of the fittings has a removably adhered indicia bearing label secured thereto as well as the container, itself. In this way, the fittings can be sold within the package or may be removed therefrom for individual sales.

Abstract: A vehicle video system including at least three video cameras electrically connected to a video signal relay device which directs video signals generated by each of the video cameras to either a video recorder or a monitor depending upon switching signals received to the video signal relay device. A video camera is automatically triggered to commence recording upon activation of a turn signal of a vehicle on which the system is deployed. A motion detector deployed on one vehicle can trigger a video camera deployed on another vehicle to commence recording. The system draws power from a battery of the vehicle.

Abstract: An aiding device for donning garments having a base and two stands mounted to the base. The stands are spatially positionable relative to each other to allow for a variety of garments to be mounted upon the stands. Additionally, at least one of the stands is rotatably mounted to the base to provide sufficient space for different size appendages to be inserted into the garment mounted upon the stands.
