    Abstract: Inexpensive, portable, multi purpose decompression device for use in any and all seated positions. Vest is designed to encircle any part of torso and be lifted by strapping that connects to a vertical anchoring point for lift or decompression. Patient can exert any amount of reasonable lift to decompress as needed with their own gravitational weight. Vest will have multiple connecting points in an effort to apply specific angular direction to different types of decompression needs. The connecting points will be clipped/buckled or strapped to a vertical anchoring point that will allow the patient to adjust the amount of decompression needed by pulling the adequate amount of tension, one click at a time, from said anchoring point by pulling on the adjusting/Lifting strap.

  • Patent number: 4926609
    Abstract: A freestanding knockdown exhibit display system having a plurality of structural panels hingedly connected in side-by-side relationship by flexible hinge members to form a pair of panel sections. A recessed portion on the front surface and along the bottom peripheral edge of each structural panel of one panel section is provided for releasably engaging the rear surfaces of corresponding structural panels in the other panel section so that the engaged panels are releasably secured together by VELCRO-like material provided therebetween. The front surfaces of each structural panel, and any decorative overlays connected thereto, are substantially flush from the upper panel section to the lower panel section. A VELCRO fastening material is utilized on the flexible hinge members and in association with the recessed portion so that no tools, hardware or supporting structure is required to erect or knock down the display system.
