Abstract: There is disclosed herein a relatively simple locking device for sporting items such as skateboards, snowboards, snow skis, and the like. In one form of the locking device, the same includes a member which can be affixed to a wheel truck of a skateboard, binding of a snowboard, or binding of a snow ski, and includes a releasable cable which can be wrapped around a fixed or stationary object so as to secure the sporting item. In one embodiment, the cable can be extended and retracted from the body of the locking device so as to provide a suitable length of the cable for the securing function. In another embodiment, the cable is normally retained in a flanged section of the locking device, but can be released therefrom for attachment to the fixed or stationary object.

Abstract: A self locking disposable container, comprises a generally box like enclosed container having a top with a limited access opening for receiving medical sharps, a closure mounted within the container and moveable from a normally open position enabling passage of articles through the access opening to a closed position preventing passage of articles through the access opening, and a locking device within the container associated with the closure for latching the closure in the closed position.

Abstract: A needle removal apparatus, comprises a support member having an elongated track formed therein, a carriage mounted in the track and moveable back and forth on the track, a coupling device mounted on the carriage and adapted for receiving and coupling to a needle hub, a drive for rotating the coupling device and unthreading the needle from the syringe collar upon movement with the guide along the track, and biasing means for normally biasing the carriage to one end of the track.

Abstract: A mounting bracket assembly for mounting a second container to a first container bracket comprises a first mounting bracket for mounting to a vertical wall for mounting a first container, the bracket having a vertical panel portion with an upper horizontal edge and lower horizontal edge, a second mounting bracket having a vertical arm with a hook at an upper end arm for latching engagement with the upper horizontal edge, and a latching arm extending outward from a lower end of the vertical arm for latching engagement with and supporting a second housing.

Abstract: An improved dispensing cap for supporting an associated container or bottle in an inverted position. A dispensing cap is provided which comprises a base, a funnel, a compression sleeve, and a seal. The base comprises a supporting flange fixed to a receiving well. The receiving well is adapted to slideably engage the funnel and provides a mechanism for controlling a flow of liquid or gel out of the funnel. The funnel comprises a plurality of flexible flanges mounted to a cap structure. The cap structure has an exterior surface adapted to engage the compression sleeve and an internal surface against which the seal may be disposed. The compression sleeve upon engaging the exterior surface of the cap structure forces the flanges fixed to the cap structure inward, and the flanges, in turn, push the seal inward.

Abstract: An air flow and filtration control system in the form of a headgear which is worn by a physician during a surgical procedure, a technician during an assembly process, or any other user wherein a controlled air flow and air filtration is required or desired. The flow through system includes a relatively rigid, open frame, skeleton headgear structure which substantially surrounds the head of the wearer. The structure includes ductwork and is adjustably attached to a headband formed of straps which are adapted to snugly engage the head of the wearer.A plurality of fans or other air moving devices are mounted in the structure. The fans are positioned to move air through the integral ducts in the structure. A shroud (or hood) is draped over and attached to the structure in such a fashion as to completely cover the structure and to cover at least a portion of the wearer in order to maintain sterile or controlled conditions.
