Abstract: An intubation device for intubating a patient includes a handle for holding the intubation device by a user, a single-use intubation blade that includes a retainer clip and a mounting lug held fixedly to the intubation blade by the retainer clip, a ratchet collar that is rotatably connected to the handle. The ratchet collar is rotatable with respect to the intubation blade in a first travel direction to mount the intubation blade to the handle and in a second travel direction to dismount the intubation blade from the handle. The intubation device also includes a disabling mechanism for preventing re-use of the intubation. The disabling mechanism includes a break-away section of the retainer clip, and gear teeth that have a first gear tooth surface. When the ratchet collar is rotated the first gear tooth surface breaks the break-away section dislocating the mounting lug.

Abstract: A clipboard including a board having first and second surfaces, a clip integral with the first surface, and a plurality of recesses formed in the second surface, the recesses are adapted to receive one or more models.

Abstract: A model for demonstrating a physiological condition of a part of a being includes a chamber with a transparent wall, and first and second components located in the chamber and configured to represent the part of the being and a substance capable of affecting the normal condition of the being's part, respectively. The components interact with one another to demonstrate the physiological condition of the organ caused by the substance during displacement of the model.

Abstract: A writing implement includes a body portion, display objections disposed in the body portion. Each display object includes a data unit. At least one of the display objects is moveable from a respective first position to a respective second position where the plurality of data units are perceived as a promotional message.

Abstract: An anatomical pocket model adapted for transporting in one's pocket or the like comprises a flexible, bendable, framework and a flexible, bendable three-dimensional representation of an anatomical body part positioned thereon. The anatomical body part representation is proportionate in size to a real life anatomical body part and facilitates a hands-on educational and demonstrational environment for both doctor and patient.

Abstract: A memo pad holder has a base having a storage chamber suitable to receive a memo pad, a cover attached to the base and movable between open and closed positions and a clip disposed on the cover. The clip may be used to hold papers or the like while the cover is in the open and/or closed position.

Abstract: An economical, diagnostic, sensory testing instrument having a semi-rigid filament rigidly secured within a hand-gripped support for use in the care and treatment of sensory-affecting conditions. The filament is adapted for perpendicular contact with a testing surface, and maintains an outwardly projecting orientation with respect to the support until such contact reaches a predetermined force that causes the filament to buckle.

Abstract: A pellet compartment is separated from an actuator compartment by a partition wall. The pellet compartment communicates with a dispensing port formed in the actuator compartment by way of a truncated spout. A thumb-operated actuator drives a shutter between the dispensing port and the spout and further indexes a wheel to indicate that the dispenser has been actuated. The actuator, shutter and index wheel, as well as a ratchet mechanism engaged with the index wheel, are interconnected by an elastic band.

Abstract: A wall hangable device for removably holding writing implement together with note paper. The device can hold a writing implement inserted from either side, or from both sides, and spring held when side passage ways, together with note pads held by a spring held clip.

Abstract: A table top item, for example, a small cup, is made mobile by operation of a concealed spring-back rolling motor after the motor has been manually energized. A conventional spring-back motor, as used in automobiles models, is the motor for the table novelty device. Other items can be mobilized, for example, ashtrays, candy dishes, condiment holders, toothpick holders, etc. For a cup, a tilt is added to the cup body to prevent spillage of liquid contents when the cup decelerates in its travel. In use, a sending person grasps the novelty device and drags it backwards across a table top surface so as to rotate the motor wheels in the direction that "winds up" the motor.
