  • Patent number: 7077817
    Abstract: A probe apparatus for self-administered treatment of prostatitis has a pair of opposing handle bars symmetrical to each other having handle grip ends and connected to a center housing along a common axis, and a probe connected to a front side of the center housing and extending to a probe tip. The center housing has a vibrator motor which is mechanically coupled to the probe tip, and is actuated by a switch on one of the handle grip ends. The probe has a swivelable tip actuated by a pair of swivel actuators provided on the handle grip ends. The probe tip has an off-center bulbous or ovoid shape for effecting a sweeping movement over the prostate when a swivel actuator is actuated. The probe and the handle grip ends have approximately the same length and extend in the same direction for more precise manipulation by the patient. The handle bars are connected to the center housing by twist-lock disconnectors to be detachable for storage or packing.

  • Patent number: 4981306
    Abstract: An improved bicycle harness for harnessing a rider to a bicycle includes a connector or collar portion, positioned at the riders rear buttocks and crouch area, for releasible slideable coupling engagement to the seat's forwardly extending tongue. The collar slides onto the collars or ensleeves at least a portion of the bicycles seat's tongue, permitting upwardly vertically and/or rearwardly directed forces on the collar, exerted by the rider through other portions of the harness, to, respectively, pull upwardly against the seat tongue and/or push against the main body of the seat as a backstop. In one embodiment the other portion of the harness includes straps that extend from the collar and extend around the riders shoulders, allowing the rider to pedal in either a sitting or standing position while remaining effectively tethered by the bicycle seat.
