Abstract: An assembly comprises an arm, a first connector, a second connector, an elongate member, and a shock absorber. The arm has a first arm end, a second arm end, a bore extending longitudinally through the arm, and an opening proximate the second arm end providing access to the bore. The first connector is connected to the arm proximate the first arm end, and the second connector is connected to the arm proximate the second arm end. The elongate member has an intermediate portion interconnecting a first connecting end and a second connecting end. The first connecting end is connected to the second connector, the intermediate portion extends toward the first arm end and back toward the second arm end, and the second connecting end extends through the opening. The shock absorber has a first portion connected to the first connector and a second portion connected to the intermediate portion.

Abstract: A parapet anchor is provided. The parapet anchor includes a frame, at least one adjustment member and a davit mount. The frame is configured and arranged to fit around a portion of a parapet. The at least one adjustment member is movably coupled to the frame to selectively engage the parapet to secure the frame to the parapet. Moreover, the davit mount is coupled to the frame and is configured and arranged to support a davit. The davit in turn can be used as a support structure upon which a lifeline can be coupled.

Abstract: A portable medical waste disposal assembly that offers convenience and safety during use, disposal and maintenance of the disposal assembly. The portable and sanitizable medical waste disposal assembly includes a waste receptacle mounted within a unitary frame providing increased strength and stability to the disposal assembly so as to facilitate transport and sanitization. A positive closure system mounts to the unitary frame and operably interconnects to a slidable lid on the waste receptacle such that the waste receptacle is maintained in a closed disposition unless specifically opened by a user. The positive closure system can be adapted so as to adjustably retain the waste receptacle within the unitary frame while allowing for quick release of the waste receptacle at a time of disposal of the receptacle's contents.
