Abstract: The Dove-Tail Sizing Stock with Solder Pockets includes the technique of increasing or reducing the size of a circular object, such as a finger ring. The sizing stock includes dovetail shaped ends with pockets of solder on each end. The solder that is inserted into the holes drilled into the dove-tail crevices on each end of the sizing stock is of the same color, karat and hardness as the sizing stock. The sizing stock will be of the same material, color, karat and hardness as the circular object or finger ring to be sized. It will be understood that the foregoing description is for illustration purposes only. Other adaptations and uses of the invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Abstract: A portable cervical traction apparatus includes a head receiving member having a U-shaped configuration and a chin strap for being secured to the back of a person's head. The head receiving member includes a protrusion for engaging the occipital bone of the person's head. The apparatus includes a base member contoured to rest atop a person's shoulders. An air cylinder is attached to the base member and includes a shaft extendable therefrom by actuation of an air pump. The shaft is coupled to the head receiving member such that the head receiving member is incrementally moved away from the base member upon actuation of the air cylinder, whereby to relieve cervical pressure or tension.
