Abstract: A non-invasive cervical-thoracic correction system for therapeutic use and for correction of abnormalities in a person's posture is disclosed. The system comprises a chest brace that includes shoulder supports that fit to the person's shoulders; a body harness connected to the chest brace by way of one or more support straps so as to provide a stable foundation when fitted to the person; and a forehead pad mounted to the chest brace by way of a spring connection that provides a variable amount of tension to the forehead pads such that the person's head is biased into a position that is in keeping with normal posture. The spring connection includes a helix spring. The forehead pad is mounted to the chest brace by way of an adjustable joint that allows the person to adjust a force providing the bias to the head.

Abstract: A piece of jewelry for indicating mood and usable as a pendant or the like in the form of a miniature traffic light having three apertures of substantially the same size spaced in vertical alignment with one another and having a cylindrical inner surface. A carrier having a mating cylindrical surface is fitted inside of the housing. The carrier includes three vertically stacked sections colored red, amber and green which are relatively movable with respect to the housing and indexably arranged for selective individual viewing through the respective top, middle and bottom apertures. For moving the carrier it has an operator which extends through the housing for convenient fingertip manipulation to a color condition which depends upon the mood of the wearer. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the selected color is brought into register with the corresponding aperture by peripheral shifting, whereas in an alternate embodiment the desired color is brought into a condition of register by axial shifting.
