  • Patent number: 9132876
    Abstract: A motorcycle foot peg (10) constructed to help isolate a rider from vibration and impact forces normally transmitted through a solid foot peg. The isolating foot peg is applicable for on and off road use where prolonged vibration or discrete impacts may cause injury. The foot peg has an adaptable rigid mounting platform (11) from which a rigid foot peg supporting shaft (19) projects outward in a cantilevered fashion. The supporting shaft is inserted through an internal aperture (34) and secured to an internal rigid tube (29) of a bushing (27). The bushing filled with a vibration isolating material (32) externally is secured to a receiver (23), which is incorporated into a foot peg platform (22). The foot peg platform (22) is thereby isolated from the supporting shaft (19) and motorcycle frame (12) by vibration damping material (32) with in the bushing (27). This relationship allows for reduction of vibratory forces that would normally be transmitted to the rider through a conventional solid Foot peg platform.

  • Patent number: 6419133
    Abstract: A stethoscope carrier has a stethoscope bell receiver space formed by anteriorly protruding bell receiver flanges and a recessed bell retaining collar; a pair of ear piece retaining grooves together with a set of ear piece retaining groove keepers located laterally on the carrier; a set of stethoscope tubing retainers consisting of an arched tubing shelf/retainer and side tubing retainers; and, optionally, a waist clip forming the most posterior aspect of the carrier. The stethoscope bell receiver space and ear piece retaining grooves are precisely sized to receive and protectively store and release the bell and ear pieces of a stethoscope in a slip-fit relationship. The stethoscope tubing retainers allow the excess stethoscope tubing to be wrapped around the carrier. Lastly, the waist clip provides a means for securing the carrier as a whole.
