  • Patent number: 8113128
    Abstract: A table assembly is provided for removably coupling to a chair or couch or other furniture with an opening from the floor, such as a bed or cabinet, to provide a horizontal table surface. The table assembly is removably coupled to the chair or couch by a spring engaging the bottom surface of the chair or couch or other coupling mechanism for removably coupling the table assembly to the chair or couch. The table assembly includes a base for engaging the floor and a table leaf that can be pivoted from a retracted position to an extended horizontal position.

  • Patent number: 7297127
    Abstract: A cervical immobilization device is disclosed and includes at least one and, preferably, at least two opposite arms that can be folded between a flat and an upright position to engage and support a patient's head. A reversible actuating device folds the arms to the supporting position, and can lock the arms in the folded supporting position. Alternatively, a locking device for locking the position of the arms in the folded supporting position can be provided. The reversible actuating device can be coupled to the arms for folding the arms to an upright position symmetrically and uniformly. In one embodiment, the reversible actuating device is a flexible member that passes around a guide to a position which can be gripped by the user.

  • Patent number: 7291121
    Abstract: A cervical immobilizing device includes a pair of arms that can be folded to an upright position to engage and support a patient's head, an actuating device for folding the arms to the supporting position, and a locking device for locking the position of the arms in the folded supporting position. The actuating device is coupled to the outer ends of the arms for folding the arms to an upright position symmetrically and uniformly. In one embodiment, the actuator device is flexible member that passes around a guide to a position which can be gripped by the user. The locking device can be a cinching, ratcheting or clamping device, or a combination thereof, on the actuator device. In one embodiment, the folding arms include a coupling device for coupling the arms to a base in a sliding arrangement to enable the arms to slide along the base to a folded position. A blank is also disclosed that can be folded to form the cervical immobilizing device.

  • Patent number: 6634359
    Abstract: A tracheal tube holding and stabilizing device includes a support having an open slot for receiving a tracheal tube. A pivotally mounted jaw is coupled to the support to close the slot and clamp the tracheal tube in position. The support includes a flexible arm having ratcheting teeth for engaging complementing ratcheting teeth on an outer end of the jaw. The jaw includes an open slot on one side to receive the tracheal tube in the clamping position. In this manner, the tracheal tube is securely clamped in the slot of the support and the slot in the pivotable jaw.

  • Patent number: 5842713
    Abstract: A stroller having wide wheels for use on soft sand. A forward wheel is mounted midline supported by a forward frame portion that is hingedly connected to a rear frame portion on which are mounted spaced apart rear wheels so that another stroller's forward wheel will nest therebetween. The hinge connecting the frame portions enables folding them to be parallel to one another and unfolding to lie in a common plane but prevents rotation beyond that plane. A vertical strut hinged to the rear of the rear portion is attached to a diagonal strut hinged to the rear of the forward frame portion to secure the use position, and a handle is hinged to the diagonal strut. The various components fold to lie parallel to one another in a compact storage position. A fabric or mesh seat is mounted on the diagonal strut and a footrest on the forward frame portion.
