Abstract: In an air circulating fan assembly, the combination comprises a fan motor and fan blades rotated by the motor; a fluid reservoir and a thermo-electric cooler for cooling the water in the reservoir; and ducting associated with the blades to conduct fluid from the reservoir to heat exchange structure rotated to effect heat transfer between air relatively passing the blades and fluid being returned to the reservoir.

Abstract: A concealed colostomy apparatus comprising a sleeve insertible into the bowel via a discharge opening thereof for retention therein, the sleeve then having a discharge end; a cap removably interfitting the discharge end of the sleeve; and a flexible pouch received in collapsed position into the sleeve to in turn receive feces from the bowel, the cap being removable to allow distending of the pouch outside the sleeve and continued filling of fecal matter into the pouch.

Abstract: A fecal collector which comprises an elongated, flaccid pouch having an entrance end; an anchor attached to the pouch entrance end to anchor the entrance end in the lower bowel, and; a positioner attached to the pouch in spaced relation to the anchor O-ring, to remain outside the lower bowel and adjacent the body, for blocking tilting of the anchor in the bowel.

Abstract: A method of monitoring patient bedding zone means, which include providing monitoring means spaced from the bedding zone means; providing ducting communicating between the bedding zone means and the monitoring means; effecting air flow via the ducting from the bedding zone means to the monitoring means, and operating the monitoring means to detect waste gaseous contents in the air flow.

Abstract: An injection-type needle unit and injection needle protector that comprises an injection needle unit body; an injection needle carried by the body and having a tip to penetrate flesh; a tip protector carried by the needle to move between a relatively retracted position spaced from the tip, and a relatively extended position shielding the tip; and restrictor structure carried by the body to prevent relative displacement of the protector from extended position to a position that would expose the tip.

Abstract: In a surgical staple remover, the combination comprises multiple parts having operative interconnection, and relatively movable to retract a removed staple from a tissue zone; and a storage zone toward which removed staples are retracted for storage in response to relative movement of parts, a storage zone carried by at least one of the parts.

Abstract: A male, disposable, incontinence device, comprising a generally delta-shaped package, including an outer, flexible sheet forming a protective container, the sheet defining a front wall and a rear wall, there being a penile first slit in the rear wall; and absorbent material in the container to overlie the slit, and to absorb urine leaked within the container via the slit.

Abstract: The method of producing multiple images on a light sensitive photographic film, the steps include providing a photographic film having thereon a pre-exposed image A which is undeveloped; providing a template havingi) a mask section A' positioned to mask the image A when the template is aligned in superposed relation over the film, andii) a transparent section with a graphics image B thereon to be reproduced on the film,aligning the template in superposed relation over the film; and passing light through the transparent section of the template to reproduce a version of the image B on the undeveloped film, light also being blocked by the mask section of the template; and developing the film to convert the images A and B thereon into developed visible images.

Abstract: A camera has a film pack reception zone from which film prints are ejected after film exposure, and is characterized by timewise separated exposures of different sections of an in-place film, in that zone, and ejection of the in-place film only after completion of exposure of different sections of the in-place film.

Abstract: A device for use in a camera in conjunction with exposure of a photographic film carried by carrier structure including a frame bounding a light passing zone, includes(a) a template in the form of a locally transparent, generally planar and rectangular sheet adapted to carry an image to be reproduced on the film,(b) there being multiple elongated ribs integral with the sheet, and projecting outwardly from the plane of the sheet,(c) the multiple ribs substantially bounding all of the light passing zone to block light access to that zone in directions parallel to the plane of the sheet,(d) the ribs including a first laterally elongated rib at one end of the template to engage the frame adjacent one end of the template to prevent removal of the template in response to endwise removal of exposed film from the carrier structure, whereby the template sheet remains in the path of light transmission in directions generally normal to the plane of the sheet and to unexposed film carried by the carrier structure.

Abstract: Accessories for standard cameras are disclosed which permit the use of a standard camera to produce composite photographs. Two embodiments of the accessory are illustrated. One embodiment is adapted to be removably mounted on a standard camera marketed by the Polaroid Corporation, and designated the Spectra System camera. The other embodiment is adapted to be mounted on a standard camera manufactured by the Polaroid Corporation, and designated the Sun 600 camera. The acessories of both embodiments are easily mounted on and removed from the associated camera without requiring any modification of the standard camera. With both accessories, the associated camera can be used selectively for conventional photography and for producing composite photographs.

Abstract: A method of instant photography is disclosed wherein graphics are reproduced on a photographic print along with the image of an object whose photograph is taken using a camera. The method includes the steps:(a) producing a light flash,(b) and channeling at least some of the light to a zone proximate the camera lens and extending about the direct path of light that travels from said object through the lens to film in the camera,(c) whereby light channeled to that zone also passes through the lens and operates to illuminate the film, forming a light modulated background to the image of the object and also to the reproduced graphics.

Abstract: A device to label photographic films carried by structure including a frame, comprises(a) a template in the form of a transparent, generally planar and rectangular sheet adapted to carry an image to be reproduced on the film,(b) the template having retainer tabs projecting at multiple edge portions of the sheet to removably fit beneath said frame to retain the template to said structure so that the main extent of the template overlies film carried by said structure,(c) the template having a limit tab projecting at one edge portion of the sheet and outside the plane of said sheet to engage an edge of said frame for preventing removal of the template in response to endwise removal of exposed film from the carrier structure, whereby the sheet remains in the path of light transmission to unexposed film carried by said structure.
