Abstract: A versatile health care apparatus that can be used for physical therapy, or to exert a desired pulling force on a patient's body and maintain the pulling force, is disclosed. Beneficially, in a first aspect, the apparatus includes a power spring, a pull-line connected to the power spring, and mounting apparatus for securing the apparatus to varied support structures. Beneficially, this apparatus further includes when used for physical therapy, a pair of ergonomically spaced apart guide wheels. In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, the apparatus includes a pull-line, and a rotatable pull-line wheel mounted on an axle and operatively connected to a power spring in connection with the axle, and the pull-line has an end in connection with the pull-line wheel.

Abstract: An electrical cutout with a modular product design is provided with a constructional configuration for the insulator wherein the insulator is light in weight, has sufficient mechanical strength, can be readily injection molded, and wherein the creep distance is statistically maximized. The electrical cutout has an insulator, an upper and lower line terminal assembly, and a fuse assembly. The insulator has an elongated central stem portion defining a longitudinal direction, and a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart skirts mounted to the stem portion and so as to lie in respective transverse planes which are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The elongated central stem portion of the insulator has a non-solid cross-sectional configuration.

Abstract: Printer ribbon cartridge (1) has a re-inking roller (3) mounted on brackets (33, 35) of a mounting member (31). A leaf panel (45) biases the re-inking roller into transfer roller (5). To prevent failures resulting from permanent deformation of the re-inking roller which can occur during periods of non-use, the transfer roller is mounted on a shaft (9) which is smaller than the central hole (7) of the transfer roller. The printer ribbon (11) is positioned around the transfer roller where tension during normal ribbon feed will force the transfer roller firmly into the re-inking roller, where the ribbon is re-inked prior to entering the stuffed chamber (19) of the cartridge. During periods of non-use the transfer roller moves with respect to its shaft to relieve deformation pressure on the re-inking roller.
