Abstract: An articulated table for supporting a person is comprised of a frame with legs, an articulated tabletop supported by the frame, and a motorized actuator assembly under the tabletop. The tabletop includes a pivotable torso section hinged to a fixed seat section, which is hinged to a pivotable upper leg section, which is hinged to a pivotable lower leg section. The actuator assembly includes first and second pairs of actuating linkages for respectively moving the torso and upper leg sections. Each actuating linkage is comprised of a power axle spaced from a follower axle. A crank arm extends orthogonally from the power axle. A lifting arm extends orthogonally but unevenly in different directions from the follower axle. Rotation of the crank arm is transmitted to the lifting arm by a connecting arm pivotally connected between the crank arm and a shorter section of the lifting arm. A roller is attached to the end of the longer section of the lifting arm.

Abstract: A wire splice insulator for underground wire splices and the like is provided in the form of a pair of substantially rigid flat base members in side by side relationship, a sheet of soft conformable self-sealing cohesive elastomer beneath and adhered to said base members, a dome extending outwardly from each said base member and elastomer sheet generally centrally of the base member and forming a cavity in the base member and elastomer sheet, a plurality of semi-tubular shields in each base member and elastomer sheet extending from the dome to adjacent the edge of the base members and forming semi-cylindrical cavities in said base members and sheets, said domes and tubular sheathes in the pair of base members being mirror images of each other, a soft non-hardening mastic adhesive insulating material filling the cavities in the elastomer and a parting sheet on the elastomer sheet and mastic opposite the base members.
