Abstract: Apparatus and method for crushing medication. A crushing member mounted within a housing is rotatable about two axes. Rotation about the first axis allows relative movement between the crushing member and an anvil thereby to allow the medication to be crushed. Rotation of the crushing member about the second axis allows access to the medication and removal of the medication which may be within a receptacle. The receptacle and the crushing member have a complementary frustoconical configuration allowing the receptacle to be positioned on the crushing member with the medication between the crushing member and the receptacle. A second receptacle may be used with a similar configuration, the second receptacle being mounted over the first receptacle with the medication therebetween to prevent contamination and spillage.

Abstract: A side terminal for a direct vent operably connected to the outside wall of a structure within which a fireplace is located. The side terminal is configured such that the exhaust duct carrying combustion gases is located a predetermined distance away from a curved surface. The combustion gases impact the curved surface and are smoothly dissipated along the curved surface to atmosphere thereby reducing backpressure in the exhaust duct and enhancing combustion efficiency.

Abstract: Apparatus for mounting a first article, such as an appliance, to a second article, such as a moving vehicle, to permit relative movement of the first article with respect to the second article in order maintain the level of the first article. The apparatus comprises a bracket for fixed attachment to the moving vehicle. There is a handle pivotally connected to the bracket, and a lever pivotally mounted to the handle to pivotally support the appliance and to adjust the position of the appliance with respect to the bracket in response to pivotal movement of the handle. This arrangement permits the appliance to be moved between a lowered position and a raised position while maintaining its level at all times so that the appliance can be stowed to conserve space when not in use.

Abstract: The assembly includes a container having two side walls, a rear wall, a top wall and a bottom wall which define in part an interior. An openable and closable door is provided for selectively providing access to the interior, the door being able to move between closed, intermediate and open positions. There is a first apparatus, connected to the door and the container, for permitting the door to rotate about a first axis of rotation between the closed and intermediate positions. There is also a second apparatus, cooperating with the first apparatus and the door, for providing a second axis of rotation spaced apart from the first axis, and for permitting lateral movement of the first axis and arcuate movement of the door about the second axis to permit the door to move below the bottom wall of the container.
