Abstract: The device enables physically impaired or disabled individuals to transfer themselves from one location to another without the assistance of another individual. In the preferred embodiment, the device comprises a base assembly, a central vertical pole, a pivot assembly, a movement inhibitor and a pair of extending bars. The device may be easily positioned in different places which are frequented by the individual user of the device so as to allow the physically impaired or disabled user to have greater independence and freedom.

Abstract: An envelope assembly formed from a series connection of such envelope assemblies has a closed outer envelope formed from two outer plies sealed along at least three marginal edges by non-releasable glue, one of the plies having a removable pull tab along a fourth marginal edge. Insert material held in registration within the closed outer envelope is unattached to the outer envelope along its four marginal edges, and includes at least a return envelope. One of the plies forming the return envelope has a foldable flap for sealing the return envelope, while the other of the plies forming the return envelope has a waste flap secured to one of the outer plies by non-releasable glue. The waste flap holds the insert material in registration with the outer envelope, but is detachable from the insert material along a line of weakening, thus remaining within the outer envelope when the remainder of the insert material is extracted therefrom.

Abstract: An envelope assembly is provided which includes an outside envelope housing and an insert assembly which may include a return envelope and/or an information ply or plies. The outside envelope is sealed by a line of interconnection around its periphery. The return envelope is sealed on three peripheral sides and has an open edge for use when removed from the outside envelope. The return envelope can be filled and closed. The information ply is attached to the return envelope and remains attached when the outside envelope is opened and the contents removed. The return envelope and the attached information ply is fixed at its inner and outer edges while housed in the closed outside envelope. In this manner, registration is maintained between the outside envelope, the return envelope and the information ply during formation and while indicia is placed thereon.
