  • Patent number: 8356427
    Abstract: A foot support adapted to position a foot in an anatomically functional position is provided. The foot support includes a metatarsal portion, a toe portion, and a bendable joint defined between the metatarsal portion and the toe portion. The metatarsal portion is adapted to align the first metatarsal head of a foot, and the metatarsal portion includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The toe portion extends away from the metatarsal portion and is adapted to align the big toe of a foot. The toe portion also includes an upper surface and a lower surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5373590
    Abstract: An airtight spa cover (11) supported by air generated by the spa pump and the spa blower (29). The cover is attached to the external periphery of the spa walls (17) and includes a skirt (29) that extends into the spa water (35), adjacent to the internal periphery of the spa walls (17). The pressure of the air trapped between the skirt (24), the surface (33) of the water, and the overlaying portion of the cover (11) is adequate to support an adult. The attachment mechanism is designed to prevent unauthorized entry when the spa cover is pressurized. The spa cover (11) includes an air ventilation pipe (49) whose lower end, initially, lies beneath the surface (33) of the spa water (35). As the pressure rises, the lower end rises above the surface of this spa water allowing trapped air to escape. The cover rises and falls until a pressure balance is achieved. The spa cover is deflated by raising a pressure release pipe (59) to allow the air trapped in a dead air space (37) to escape.
