Abstract: A ball tilt joint permits a wired mounted unit, preferably a TV (monitor) to be rotated and tilted for viewing, without breaking wires. An axial hole through the ball stem allows electrical wires to be fed to the unit. The ball stem has limited rotation, due to stop screws. A ball socket carries the wired unit, and the socket can tilt about the ball center, but not rotate on the ball around the ball stem axis, because of a socket pin which extends into a slot machined into the ball. The pin is oriented radially towards the ball center, and everything is mounted to the end of an articulatable arm.

Abstract: An animal restraint unit adapted to be worn by the animal and, in its simplest form, comprising a collar, a waistband and a pair of elonaged, rectilinear, lateral pieces pivotally and releasably connected at substantially diametric positions to the collar and to the waistband and adapted to extend therebetween along the animal's sides. The collar and waistband, together with the attachment thereto of the lateral pieces, are adjustable to properly fit the animal. The restraint unit prohibits the animal from twisting its body laterally, thus preventing the animal from traumatizing posterior portions of its body which have undergone surgery or are inflicted which a dermatological problem. Similarly, the restraint unit prevents the animal from scratching anterior portions of its body. The restraint unit may be provided with a mandible engaging attachment to restrict lowering of the animal's head so as to prevent injury after ophthalmic surgery.
