  • Apparatus to assist leg venous and skin circulation
    Patent number: 4311135
    Abstract: An apparatus to assist leg venous and skin circulation is provided and comprises a stocking which is secured around at least a portion of a leg of a person. The stocking includes a plurality of elongated and flexible tubular members so that each member defines an elongated and expandable fluid chamber. The stocking is arranged so that each fluid chamber extends substantially circumferentially around the person's leg and the members are axially adjacent each other. The apparatus further comprises an air distributor for sequentially fluidly pressurizing the chambers, maintained the pressure in each chamber for a predetermined period and thereafter exhausting the fluid pressure from the chambers. The air distributor performs this pressurization of the chambers in the stocking sequentially in a cephalad direction to thereby propel the leg venous blood towards the heart.

  • Telescopic sight mount
    Patent number: 4216600
    Abstract: A telescopic sight mount is provided in which no troque is applied to the telescope when mounted. The torque-free installation is accomplished by having a front and rear telescopic mount which engage the telescopic sight and float freely and also by having a rotatably adjustable eccentric union attached to the rear telescopic sight mount. The telescope sight is aligned with the barrel sight by adjusting or rotating the eccentric union. Thereafter, all screws are securely tightened. Since no torque is used during installation, there is no tension on the external telescopic cylinder and no distortion of the lens system, either temporarily during installation or permanently after securing.
