Abstract: A detectable device for collecting samples consists of a collecting scoop and a handle extending outwardly therefrom. The detection of the device is improved by uniformly dispersing at least one radio-opaque substance within a dispersing medium of its material.

Abstract: A marker pen supporting and holding device includes a cavity for capturing a marker pen cap therein consisting of principal and auxiliary cavity portions. The principal cavity portion is provided for receiving a protective cap body and the auxiliary cavity portion is provided for guiding and captivating a marker cap pocket attachment clip. A securing pin extends through aligned device body apertures to traverse a gap between the cap body and the pocket attachment clip, thereby removably securing the cap within the device to enable one-handed marker pen handling.

Abstract: A modular laboratory cabinet assembly includes a pair of end units in inverted relation to one another, and at least one intermediate module interposed therebetween. A door is pivotably attached to the end units. Each end unit having a plurality of elongated supporting members and the intermediate module is formed with a plurality of columns. In the assembled condition, the supporting members and columns are aligned to form a continuous air-tight passage extending through the entire assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing moisture from air which includes a moist air inlet area, a dry air outlet area, a regeneration air inlet area, a regeneration air outlet area and a desiccant medium. A drying fan is provided for drawing the moist air through the moist air inlet area, through the desiccant, as to exit the unit through the dry air outlet area. A regeneration fan is provided for drawing regeneration air through the regeneration air inlet area, through the desiccant medium, so as to exit the unit through the regeneration air outlet area.

Abstract: A hosiery donning aid consists of a base, at least one hosiery support and at least one handle support. The hosiery support has a support element carried by the base. The handle support has a handle outwardly extending from the base in adjacent relationship to the hosiery support.

Abstract: A manual pick-up device includes a housing having a handle at one end, a fixed upper jaw at an opposite end, and a longitudinally extending shank extending therebetween. A movable jaw member is pivotally supported within the housing and extends outwardly through a housing opening to enable cooperation with the fixed upper jaw. A spring-biased actuating trigger is connected to the movable lower jaw by a connection element such that manual actuation of the trigger toward the handle urges the closing of the movable jaw against the fixed upper jaw, so as to enable an operator to grasp an object between the upper and lower jaws of the device.

Abstract: The invention provides a leakproof sealing system for an eyewash delivery apparatus that extends shelf life of sterile or preserved irrigant solution and is tamper evident. The sealing system has a cap that is positioned over an eye-cup. The boss extends from the cap and surrounds a plurality of spray nozzles. The seal is located adjacent the spray nozzles and is compressively held against the nozzles by a plurality of arms situated within the boss.

Abstract: A device for stabilizing laboratory ware includes a container body having a refillable interior space defined by a top wall, a bottom wall, an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall defines a centrally disposed passageway and has an exterior surface having a size and geometry for resting upon an outer surface of the laboratory ware. The outer wall includes at least one releasably sealable port arrangement for facilitating the introduction of a filler material therein.

Abstract: A device for collecting and storing a sample from relatively hard or loose products includes a container having an open end and a sample collection unit. The sample collection unit has a cap adapted to close the container open end, a handle extending rearwardly from the cap, and a coring scoop extending forwardly from the cap. The coring scoop is sized to fit within the container when closed by the cap. The coring scoop includes a pair of spaced side walls that are integrally joined by a curved connecting wall with a center of curvature to form an open channel into which a sample is received during sample collection. The handle comprises first and second I-beams extending rearwardly from the cap and intersecting each other along a longitudinal axis that is coincident with the center of curvature to thereby form a plurality of torque arms that extend radially from the axis.

Abstract: An article-carrying apparatus is provided for attachment to a mobile walker having a frame including at least one generally horizontal frame member supported by one or more generally vertical depending legs. The carrier includes a front panel, a rear panel a pair of opposed side panels and a base panel having integral connecting units enabling the panels to be snap-fitted together during assembly. The side panels have integral brace members adapted for being secured to the vertical depending walker legs. The side panels include inverted U-shaped handles sized and shaped for being pivotally carried on the generally horizontal frame member.

Abstract: A modular rack assembly includes a plurality of interconnected support modules sandwiched between a pair handle modules with a pair of elongate fastener assemblies securing the modules together. The length of the rack assembly may be adjusted by adding or taking away modules. Each module is of I-beam construction and is preferably integrally molded of a relatively stiff plastic material. The modules may be pigmented to provide rack assemblies of different colors for distinguishing between articles supported thereon.

Abstract: A device facilitating operation of a doorknob, comprising a tubular body member having a continuous wall with an outer gripping surface and an inner surface defining bore adapted for receiving the doorknob. A plurality of resiliently deformable projections extend inwardly from the inner surface of the wall. A distance between opposing projections before installation of the device on the doorknob is smaller than a cross dimension of the knob. Each projection has a pair of spaced end portions formed integrally with the inner surface of the wall. The outer gripping surface of the continuous wall includes a generally curved section between each pair of spaced end portions before the device is installed on the knob. Deformation of the projections upon installation of the device on the knob causes the spaced end portions of each projection to spread apart and embrace an outer periphery of the doorknob.
