Abstract: A valve, shaped and sized for metered dose inhalers, consisting of a mount, a central body and top plate with peripheral air passages and central opening for medication delivery. A flexible elastic diaphragm closes the air passages and a central wiper seal on the diaphragm isolates the center opening from the air passageway. Pressure on the rim of the central opening of the diaphragm causes it to open the air passages timed with injection of medication through the central opening.

Abstract: A univesal joint, block and pin type, in which a carefully designed and sized center section will limit angulation of the joint at any angle desired up to, but not including an angle which will cause lockup.

Abstract: A trash bag support stand is formed of two semi-circular bars, secured together on a pair of legs. Complementary coupling components on the ends of the bars are snapped together to form complete rings that are supported horizontally above the ground to receive and emcompass a trash bag. The trash bag is folded back over the top ring and held in place by tabs. When not in use the semi-circular bars are separated and nested for hanging.

Abstract: A motor vehicle wheel engages a gear which drives a multistage cam which actuates a system of hydraulic valves and pistons. A pressure-sensitive spool valve detects when the hydraulic pressure in the brake system exceeds the value which causes the wheel to enter the skid mode. The hydraulic pressure from the brake system passes through the pressure-sensitive valve to the system of hydraulic valves and pistons operated by the cam. The outlet of the hydraulic valve and piston system goes to the brake cylinder in the wheel. During the skid mode, a valve in the hydraulic valve and piston system closes and a cam action on one of the pistons in the system causes a pumping pressure to be applied to the brake cylinder. This anti-skid device further includes two fail-safe features to protect against system failure.
