Abstract: An adjustable, tissue cutting tool for use in arthroscopic surgery and including a distal-end cutting mechanism adapted to be adjustably angled relative to the principal axis of the tool in order to reach tight, difficult to reach areas of tissue damage within a joint and to thereby minimize risk of iatrogenic, articular cartilage damage.

Abstract: A double ball joint locking device has a first ball socket mounted to a first telescopic member. The first ball socket has a first ball. A second ball socket is mounted to a second telescopic member. The second ball socket has a second ball. The first telescopic member has a telescopic connection with the second telescopic member such that the length of the double ball joint locking device is adjustable. A first ball locking rod is threadedly mounted to a first ball socket base at a first threaded mounting. A second ball locking rod is threadedly mounted to a second ball socket base, at a second threaded mounting. The second threaded mounting has an opposite handed orientation to the first threaded mounting. A first ball locking rod to second ball locking rod connection glidingly connects the first ball locking rod to the second ball locking rod.

Abstract: An upholstered patio chair having a metal frame structure of compound three-dimensional shape with at least one internal hollow channel extending along the length of the frame structure and an elongated groove located in the frame structure opening into the hollow channel and forming a lip portion in the frame structure. At least one fabric panel for upholstering the frame which includes an edge containing a loop which extends through the elongated groove and into the hollow channel of the frame structure. An elongated wedge member secures the edge of the fabric panel to the frame structure in the channel by creating an interference fit between the wedge member and the lip portion of the frame structure.

Abstract: A water faucet inlet line connector for providing a quick and reliable attachment of an inlet water line to the shank of a water faucet is disclosed. The connector is comprised of an assembly of two body members entrapping a conical spring washer therebetween. The upper body member has a tapered outer surface for cooperating with the conical inner surface of the connection end of the faucet shank, and preferably includes on its inner cylindrical diameter a ring-like inward protrusion to provide a ring-like region of increased pressure against the inlet tube when the connector and tube are finally locked in position. The lower body member also has a cylindrical inner surface, and cooperates with the upper body member to retain the conical spring therebetween, to align the water line and to provide a stress relief to help isolate inlet line motion from the region of the conical spring and the upper body member.
