Abstract: Injection devices are disclosed for injections of substances. The disclosed devices separately may hold two separate substances, e.g., solid, liquid or gas substances, in separate compartments which are interrupted so that the separate substances come into contact during the activation of the device. One disclosed device includes a needle for injection and two substances that are mixed with only a few actions by the operator of the device. The device may or may not activate mixing by the removal of a sleeve which triggers compartment interaction through movement of pins, pegs, springs, wires, string, or other mechanisms which allow the materials held in separate chambers to come into contact with each other. Operator error during mixing and checking the dosage of substances to be injected is avoided with the disclosed devices. Also, the needle is maintained in a sterile state because the needle is held internally of the device until the sleeve is removed and the device begins to activate.

Abstract: A one-part reconstitution device is described, for temporarily separating two substances into two compartments within a cartridge or syringe and allowing for mixture of the two substances within the cartridge or syringe. In various embodiments, the one-part reconstitution device may include an outer, contact portion configured to contact an inner surface of the cartridge or syringe, and an inner, deflection portion positioned within the contact portion. The deflection portion may be movable from a locked position, in which the deflection portion causes the contact portion to exert a first radial force against the inner surface, to an unlocked position, in which the deflection portion causes the contact portion to exert a second radial force against the inner surface. The second radial force may be less than the first radial force, and the contact portion and the deflection portion may comprise one part.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a plunger able to fit in a cartridge or syringe. The plunger includes an outer portion and a deflection portion. The outer portion is able to engage the body of the cartridge or syringe. The outer portion is operable to apply a first radial force to the cartridge or syringe. The deflection portion is positioned within the outer portion and is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The deflection portion in the unlocked position causes the outer portion to apply a second radial force to the cartridge or syringe.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for disassembling a wooden pallet by mechanically and automatically removing a pre-selected damaged board from the pallet, comprising a frame intended to be arranged in close proximity with a conveyor and a bi-directional rotating ram assembly mounted within the frame and carrying spikes thereupon. The invention is configured such that the ram assembly is moved into a board-engaging position to enable the spike to puncture and fasten to a predetermined (damaged) board of the pallet, and to thereafter be moved up and away from the pallet in order to remove and separate the board from the pallet.

Abstract: Adjustable riding toys are provided in both bicycle and tricycle forms. The bicycle and tricycle each have the same front end with only differing back ends. Each back end connects to the front end. One back end has two wheels, while the other back end has one wheel. Methods of manufacturing and distributing the embodiments of the bicycle and tricycle are also provided.

Abstract: Adjustable riding toys are provided in both bicycle and tricycle forms. The bicycle and tricycle each have an adjustable height axle connection. Multiple axle apertures are provided on mounting arms for adjustably receiving an axle. Methods of adjusting the bicycle and tricycle are also provided.

Abstract: Adjustable riding toys are provided in both bicycle and tricycle forms. The tricycle and bicycle have at least one wave ride wheel allowing a rider to change between a smooth ride and an up and down ride. Both rear wheels on the tricycle are provided with synchronized wave ride wheels which create a side to side wobble of the riding toy. Methods of adjusting the bicycle and tricycle are also provided.

Abstract: A recreation and exercise device having spaced, rotatable footpads, a crossboard integrally connecting the footpads, and one or more ground contacting members for supporting the device above the ground when balanced by the user standing on the footpads. The ground contact may comprise a pair of rounded pivots disposed under the crossboard just inwardly from the footpads. Also contemplated is a horizontal, annular ground contact member disposed below the crossboard intermediate the footpads.
