Abstract: A device for remotely pulling on and removing nether garments comprising a pair of grabber arms that each have curved inner and outer jaws between which the garment top is spread and clamped. Clamping of the jaws is accomplished remotely by means of a cable connected to the jaws and to a handle through an extension shaft. A fulcrum-assist release lever and crescent shaped hook in the handle act as an eccentric and provide clamping action by pulling the outer jaws to the inner jaws under mechanically amplified power. Once spread and clamped, the garment is opened and pulled over a foot by pulling the handles or shafts up both sides of the leg.

Abstract: An easel of the type having a generally planar material prop and a support to maintain the prop at a desired attitude. The support includes a plate which is adapted to be releasably affixed to a surface and a hinge formed of first and second members each having a base and extending legs. Each member base is secured to a different one of the prop and plate in a manner which allows a selective relative rotational movement between the base and the associated prop or plate. The axis of rotation is generally perpendicular to the associated one of the prop and plate. The legs are secured to each other in a manner which allows a selective relative pivoting movement of the members about an axis spaced from their bases.

Abstract: A temperature control system for a syringe contained blood sample. Specifically, the system reduces the temperature of the blood sample to reduce the volatility of the blood gases. A first cylindrical member defines a chamber, the chamber accepting a blood sample containing syringe through an end thereof. A second, concentric cylindrical member cooperates with the first cylindrical member to define a reservoir surrounding the chamber. A heat sink material within the reservoir withdraws heat from the chamber to reduce the temperature of a blood sample within the chamber. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second cylindrical members are formed as integral structures having an end wall extending therebetween. A cap, which may be self-sealing with the two cylindrical members, forms an opposing end wall. Either end wall may function as a support to establish a desired chamber orientation.
