  • Patent number: 4598666
    Abstract: Neck garment for a female cat adapted to deter its impregnation by males while being worn having an integral band adapted to be wrapped around and span a feline neck without noticeably restricting its motility and further presenting a smooth texture sufficiently smooth to preclude a male cat upon attempting to initiate coupling from obtaining a normal grip on the upper neck of the female cat a first and second elongated band segment connected to extend in opposite directions from the lateral edges of the integral band adapted to permit the inner surface of one segment to be interruptably secured to the outer surface of the other segment.

  • Patent number: 4576576
    Abstract: An article of manufacture for planning the restoration of an irregular dentition and being adapted for bilateral use comprising a rigid, formed template presenting an upper concave surface to the viewer while it is positioned above the model of the lower dentition of a patient; the mesial edge of the template is substantially linear and spaced apart from the lingual aspect of the anterior teeth. The proximal edge of the template is spaced apart from the mesial edge sufficiently to extend beyond the third molars. The opposing lateral edges of the template are flanged outwardly from the mesial edge to the distal edge to parallel the diverging dentition and both joining the distal edge; and the concave/convex of the template are of a preset substantially uniform curvature with the radius of the upper surface chosen to correspond to one of the variable radius, curves of Spee and Wilson normally occurring in an existing dentition under analysis.
