Abstract: A control panel for the operator's control station of a fire fighting apparatus of the type including a body defining an outwardly opening side recess is provided. The control panel supports various gauges, switches and other operating controls and has a plurality of openings formed therein through which water inlet and outlet couplings as well as valve controlling operators project. An elongated upstanding support member is disposed adjacent and extends along a generally straight side marginal portion of the recess and is mounted from the body for guided limited lateral outward and inward shifting relative to the body along a path which generally parallels the direction in which the recess opens. The control panel includes a marginal edge portion corresponding to the side marginal portion of the recess and the panel marginal edge portion is hingedly supported from the support member for angular displacement relative thereto about an axis generally paralleling the support member.

Abstract: A prosthetic foot includes an elongated one-piece semi-rigid keel having a half dome-shaped arch and a thinned toe break region. A rigid bolt block, with a lower portion of reduced size to accommodate a cushioned heel, is fastened to the posterior end of the keel. To rigidify the foot during toe-off, a first substantially inelastic strap is provided. This first strap is fastened at one end to the bolt block, extends across a lower region of the arch, and is fastened at its opposite end to the keel forwardly of the toe break region. A second substantially inelastic strap is positioned above the first strap and is fastened at one end to the bolt block, extends across a mid-portion of the arch, and has its other end fastened to the keel between the arch and toe break region. This second strap rigidifies the foot when in a foot flat position. A flexible foot-shaped cover layer generally envelopes the two straps, keel and bolt block, fills in the toe break region and a large portion of the arch.
