Abstract: An improved arch bar for dental surgery is formed from a strip of malleable material. The strip is the shape of a right angle having a splint portion and a retainer portion. A series of apertures extend through the splint portion and the retainer portion with the longitudinal edges of the strip being continuous and smooth. The splint portion is attached to the bone and the retainer portion forms an outwardly projecting shelf having a smooth surface. The soft tissue of the mouth is protected from ligature wires threaded through the apertures by the shelf.

Abstract: The container assembly is adapted for high speed packaging of perishable items. The container is formed with ribbed walls to add rigidity to the structure. The reinforcing ribs are perforated to allow air to circulate through the packaged goods. The ribs are shaped to maintain the perforations open during stacking and shipping. The mouth of the container has a peripheral flange. The flange has integral hinged closures for securing a separate top.

Abstract: The acceleration recorder provides a three dimensional mechanical record of the acceleration sustained in a collision or impact. The recorder converts impact into a rotational movement of an internal weight about three orthoganl axes. Mechanical indicators remain at the limits of the weight rotations.
