Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a frame and a mattress positioned on the frame. A respiratory therapy device is coupled to the frame. The respiratory therapy device includes a blower having an inlet and an outlet, a patient interface, and a valve including a valve member that is rotatable through a first angular displacement in a first direction from a first position to a second position. The outlet of the blower is coupled to the patient interface so that positive pressure is provided to a patient's airway via the patient interface when the valve member is in the first position. The inlet of the blower is coupled to the patient interface so that negative pressure is provided to the patient's airway via the patient interface when the valve member is in the second position.

Abstract: A fishing spinning reel includes a flat reel body, two side covers, and a driving unit. The reel body is made of metal, and has a plurality of mounting holes formed through the reel body. Each of the mounting holes has two open ends at two opposite sides of the reel body. The side covers are made of a plastic material, are disposed respectively on the opposite sides of the reel body, and are interconnected to clamp the reel body therebetween so as to define an accommodating space among the reel body and the side covers. The driving unit is disposed within the accommodating space.

Abstract: A fishing spinning reel includes a rotating member disposed rotatably in a reel frame about a first axis, and a coupling member disposed movably in the reel frame and connected to a reciprocating spool spindle. A cam member has a first cam end loosely engaging a slot in the rotating member to be movable along a non-circular path defined by a non-circular guideway, and a second cam end engaging a cam follower of the coupling member. When the first cam end is moved by rotating movement of the rotating member through a handle, the coupling member and the spindle reciprocate along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis.

Abstract: A spinning type fishing reel includes a rotating member disposed rotatably within a reel body, a sliding member disposed movably within the body and connected fixedly to a reciprocating shaft, and a swing rod interconnecting the rotating member and the sliding member. When a handle is actuated to rotate the rotating member, the swing rod swings to reciprocate the sliding member and the reciprocating shaft. Accordingly, when a fishline is wound on the spool, the number of the turns of the fishline wound during a forward travel of the reciprocating shaft is different from that wound during a reverse travel of the reciprocating shaft, thereby resulting in a quite even distribution of the fishline on the spool.

Abstract: A fishing reel includes a planet gear mounted pivotally on a carrier and meshing with a sun gear. When a handle is actuated to rotate the carrier in a reel body, the planet gear rotates about the sun gear and relative to the carrier so that an eccentric engaging portion of the planet gear moves along an elliptical path, thereby activating a sliding member and a reciprocating shaft to reciprocate.

Abstract: A fishing reel includes a rotating wheel unit rotatable on a main body about a rotating axis, and a bail arm unit. The rotating wheel unit has two U-shaped bail-supporting portions, each of which is formed with two parallel inner surfaces that define a socket therebetween and that are parallel to the rotating axis. The bail arm unit includes two support members, each of which has a base portion and a connecting head portion, and a bail arm member for interconnecting the connecting head portions. The base portions of the support members are disposed respectively and pivotally within the sockets in the rotating wheel unit. Each of the base portions has two opposite side surfaces that are parallel to and that abut respectively against the inner surfaces of the corresponding bail-supporting portion.

Abstract: A fishing reel rotor includes an annular bearing seat secured to a mounting member and disposed around a driving rod. An outer brake ring is disposed fixedly within the bearing seat, and is disposed around a roller-positioning member, which is sleeved rotatably on an inner brake tube that is in turn sleeved non-rotatably on the driving rod. A plurality of rollers are retained on the roller-positioning member between the outer brake ring and the brake tube. A driving ring is disposed rotatably around the driving rod, is connected non-rotatably to the roller-positioning member, and is rotatable between a first position, where the driving rod is permitted to rotate in two directions, and a second position, where the driving rod is permitted to rotate in a single direction. A tension spring is disposed between the driving ring and the bearing seat so as to bias the driving ring to the second position.

Abstract: A fly fishing reel includes a casing, a spool mounted rotatably in the casing, and a unidirectional controller including a ratchet wheel secured to the spool, and a pawl pivoted to the casing and releasably engaging the ratchet wheel. The ratchet wheel includes a plurality of angularly spaced apart first engaging teeth. The pawl includes at least two angularly spaced apart second engaging teeth, which are respectively in sliding contact with two of the first engaging teeth so as to permit rotation of the spool to rotate in a first direction, and which engage the two first engaging teeth so as to prevent rotation of the spool in the second direction opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: A fly fishing reel includes a casing, a spool mounted rotatably in the casing, and a brake unit including a friction wall extending from the spool, a brake-mounting plate secured to the casing and formed with a plurality of retaining recesses, and a plurality of brake shoes securely and respectively mounted in the retaining recesses and in friction contact with the friction wall. The brake-mounting plate is spaced apart from the friction wall by a gap. Adjacent brake shoes are spaced apart from each other by a channel which is in spatial communication with the gap so as to permit removal of bits resulting from rubbing between the friction wall and the brake shoes upon rotation of the spool.
