Abstract: The invention is directed to a system and methods to reduce a hip joint dislocation. Embodiments of the system may include a unitary or multipartite leg support assembly having about a 90-degree bend that is shaped to accommodate a leg, a lifting component, and a component for securing a leg to the leg support assembly. Embodiments of the multipartite leg support may be adjustable to accommodate any leg length. Embodiments of the system provide a mechanical advantage that may be used to reduce the hip joint, while simultaneously decreasing the possibility of injury to the user.

Abstract: An invert assembly for an individual section glassware forming machine includes an invert base that is oscillated about an axis between angularly spaced apart first and second positions, a double ended ball screw positioned co-axially with the axis and having spaced apart oppositely threaded portions, first and second nuts each threadably engaging one of the oppositely threaded portions of the ball screw so that the nuts reciprocate toward and away from each other in response to rotation of the ball screw, and first and second neck ring arms respectively engaging the first and second nuts so that the neck ring arms reciprocate toward and away from each other along the axis with the first and second nuts. Preferably, the invert base is oscillated about the axis by a first reversible electric motor, and the ball screw is driven for rotation in opposed directions by a second reversible electric motor to move the nuts and neck ring arms toward and away from each other along the axis.
