Abstract: A system for above grade and below grade installation, for rendering the mass weightless in preparation to being lifted subject to its mass inertia, wherein a pre-charge is applied to the pneumatic end of a pressure accumulator at a pre-set pressure, and an adjustment made charging the other end of the accumulator with a working fluid for balancing the mass as required against gravity and with a volume of working fluid to ensure operation, the pre-set gas pressure being increased by the adjustment to apply a working pressure for counterbalancing the mass above and below its weight as required.

Abstract: A device for expanding the connective fatty tissue and correcting inverted nipples and improving symmetry of the human breast by means of gentle suction generated by respiratory means. The hollow dome is constructed of tinted, low-density, polyethylene which enables the user to monitor the degree of expansion she desires. The surrounding rim assures an air tight seal with the skin tissue. The pliable, high tensile quality of the hollow dome allows the user to squeeze and change the shape of the hollow dome on various locations on the breast to uplift and improve cleavage. A threaded nipple extends from top center of the exterior of the hollow dome which is attached to a pliable breathing tube and is fitted with a removable mouthpiece to facilitate orally evacuating the air surrounding the breast. A valve-timer controls the input and output of atmospheric pressure which creates a vacuum around the breast, and can be maintained for a selected number of seconds and minutes by the individual needs of the user.

Abstract: A person stabilizer for use on rooftops, especially recreational vehicle rooftops, and characterized by a lever system wherein a support lever swings upwardly from the roof level and is restricted to the area of the roof by a stop that precludes the lever from traversing over the roof edge, and a stop to retain the support lever in close spaced stored relationship to the roof, the installation of the stabilizer being reversible for installation at the right or left side of the rooftop.

Abstract: A method for the extermination of parasites including fleas and ticks, by hermetically enclosing the body of a host animal within a chamber and circulating an atoxic vapor through the chamber as a treatment repeated until the parasite count is reduced, employing an apparatus comprised of a hermetic chamber with air recirculation of a vaporized liquid lethal to the parasites, thereby removing the parasite colonies from the animal and its surrounding environment.

Abstract: A wheeled suspension unit for elevating a vehicle platform from ground engagement to operational height, characterized by a lever that swings a wheel axis to and from alignment with a vertical plane extending between a raised fulcrum of the lever and a transverse axis of the vehicle, there being separate manually operable suspension units at opposite sides of the vehicle and each with a releasable latch for securing the elevated condition.
