Abstract: A personal support apparatus includes a frame having an inner surface for supporting a forehead of a user while seated in a forward-leaning position. The frame has a hollow central region to receive the user's face when the user is seated in the forward-leaning position. A pair of cheek support bodies are disposed on the inner surface of the frame. The apparatus also includes a stand having a recess in a first end to receive a portion of the frame such that a position of the frame is adjustable within the recess to set a height of the frame with respect to the user. A chest support is disposed on the stand. A base is attached to the second end of the stand.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a mobile device is collapsible and configurable in multiple degrees of freedom. The apparatus includes a mobile device support body, a base, a stand, a support arm, and a clamp. The stand is pivotably and/or rotatably coupled to the mobile device support body and pivotably coupled to the base. The support arm is releasably coupled to the stand and pivotably coupled to the base. The clamp is slidingly coupled to the base. The size of the mobile device support body is adjustable to receive a mobile device having different sizes and orientations. The length of the stand and the support arm can be adjusted to set a height and an angle of the mobile device support body. The mobile device support body can be rotatable to allow the mobile device support body to face backwards.

The frame has a hollow central region to receive the user's face when the user is seated in the forward-leaning position. The apparatus also includes a stand that includes a chest support arm and a pivot angle adjustment arm. The pivot angle adjustment arm is pivotably attached to a base, and a first end of the base is adjustably attached along at least a portion of the length of the chest support arm. The frame is pivotably attached to an end of the chest support arm. The height and angle of the frame are customizable by adjusting the length of the chest support arm and the length of the pivot angle adjustment arm. The apparatus can be configured in a stowed configuration for compact storage.

Abstract: A personal rest system includes a headrest shaped and sized to accept a frontal portion of a user's head. The headrest defines a central opening and substantially surrounds the user's face. The headrest includes at least one padded portion against which the user's head can be rested. A mechanically adjustable support frame is coupled to the headrest at an upper end of the adjustable support frame. The support frame is also coupled to a pivoting member at a lower end of said adjustable support frame. A base section is coupled to the pivoting member. The base section includes an attachment portion shaped and configured to mechanically mount the base section to a surface on which said rest system is placed.

Abstract: A safety valve designed to stop the flow of fluid through a conduit or pipe when an internal or external force causes the valve to rupture in a predetermined region and a method for using such a safety valve is provided. The safety valve generally comprises a first region, a second region, and a separation region. The separation region is designed such that the application of an internal or external force or force will cause the valve to rupture.

Abstract: A unitary, single-piece baking pan support clip for stacking one or more baking pans vertically to save space without contacting or damaging the contents of each stacked pan. Each clip is comprised of a thin, planar rigid bar having a vertical shaft, horizontal and vertical upper arms that contact and support the bottom surface and exterior sidewall of a baking pan and a base having a recess that secures the clips to the interior sidewall and lip bead of the lower pan. The base recess that is shaped as a cylindrical channel to securely snap or fit over the lip bead of the baking pan to which the clip is attached.

Abstract: A barrier-free wheelchair constructed entirely of plastic or non-metal components. The device is designed to facilitate the passage of wheelchair occupants through magnetometers, such as those utilized for airport security. The present invention is non-collapsible in nature, as the device is intended for on-site usage and not for transport in vehicles and the like. Due to its materials and construction, the wheelchair of the present invention also allows for a solid non-sling seat, is pilferage resistant, and provides multiple surfaces upon which indicia, such as corporate graphics, may appear. In addition, consistent with pre-existing wheelchairs, the present invention allows for the removable attachment of a variety of accessories, including foot rests and trays.
