  • Publication number: 20080099488
    Abstract: A container assembly comprises a first member defining an interior containment space and having an access opening thereto, a second member dimensioned to encompass said first member, and a third member that interconnects said first member and said second member. The first and third members are connected along a first axis such that the first member is rotatable about the first axis relative to the third member. The second and third members are connected along a second axis such that the third member is rotatable about the second axis relative to the second member. The first axis is generally orthogonal to the second axis.

  • Publication number: 20080065230
    Abstract: A potentiating support for an area of a body includes: a framework having a surface for abutment with an area of a body including a hinge joint, said framework defining a plurality of permanent openings in said surface; and two strut members each attached to said framework such that each said strut member spans the hinge joint when said framework is disposed in abutment with the area of the body, said strut members providing a measure of rigidity to said framework in the direction of their respective lengths, each respective said strut member including an intermediate portion thereof spanning the hinge joint that is expandable and recoverable between a first initial state and extended states wherein, when expanded to a said extended state during flexing of the hinge joint, said respective strut member stores potential energy that is released as kinetic energy upon its return to said initial state.

  • Publication number: 20080043571
    Abstract: A mixing tool includes: an elongate shaft having a longitudinal axis; and a mixing blade located at an end of the shaft, the mixing blade having a bottom, a top, two sides, and a mixing blade face disposed therebetween. Two flow ports each including an opening is disposed in the mixing blade face for flow therethrough of material being mixed by the mixing blade. Each flow port further includes a flow deflector for deflecting material flow through the opening toward the axis of the shaft. The deflected flows are convergent. The flow port is located closer to the bottom than to the top of the mixing blade. An end cap includes a gripping surface located in a radial direction further from the longitudinal axis than a gripping surface of the shaft. The center of gravity of the mixing blade lies approximately along the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20080039757
    Abstract: A potentiating support for an area of a body includes a framework having a surface for abutment with an area of a body. The framework defines a plurality of permanent openings in the surface regardless of whether the surface is in abutment with the area of the body, the openings extending completely through and being bounded by the framework. Furthermore, the framework, along its entire boundary with at least one of the openings, is elastically stretchable between a first initial state and extended states and, when expanded to an extended state, the framework stores potential energy that is released as kinetic energy upon its return to the initial state. The support also includes a fastening mechanism connected at multiple points proximate each of opposite sides of the framework for applying tension at each of the multiple points for tensioning the framework's surface in abutment with the area of the body.

  • Publication number: 20080039764
    Abstract: An apparatus for disposition on appendage, such as an arm or leg, is capable of encircling and applying opposing forces selectively thereto. A C-shaped component receives one side of the appendage, a second C-shaped component receives the other side of the appendage, and a tensioning system draws the two components together for selective application of pressure to the appendage. Outriggers and pressure applicators may be used to apply pressure to extended areas of the appendage that otherwise would not be engaged by the C-shaped components. Side-to-side tissue compression thereby is provided for deflection of muscle forces, functional shortening of muscle length, and the maintenance of neurovascular channels. Circumferential forces may be minimized based on semirigid characteristics of the components. Elbow and shoulder braces apply side-to-side tissue compression to arms.

  • Publication number: 20080039767
    Abstract: A wrist support includes a first section for receiving a forearm, a second section for receiving a hand, and a bridging section spanning a wrist and connecting the first and second sections together. The bridging section is integrally formed with some portion of the first section or second section. The disposition of the second section relative to the first section is variable, for example, according to the tension in a tensioning line, wherein the tension may be adjusted by a rotary device.

  • Publication number: 20080035644
    Abstract: ABSTRACT A container includes a first bowl suspended by a dual-axis gimbal within—and out of contact with—a second bowl. The first bowl includes a first opening and the second bowl includes a second opening. The first opening overlies the second opening to permit access to an interior storage space of the first bowl from an exterior of the container when the first and second bowls are in respective upright orientations. The first bowl may be rotated 180 degrees in every rotational direction relative to the second bowl. A lid is removably attachable to the second bowl and that inhibits rotational movement of the first bowl. A handle circumferentially extends entirely around the second bowl and defines an opening for a finger or thumb for gripping and holding of the container when the lid is attached.
