  • Patent number: 5653700
    Abstract: A device to facilitate self-catheterisation in women suffering from deviation from normal bladder function is provided. The device includes a handle designed for manipulation by a patient and a catheter co-operable with the handle such that the catheter can be inserted into the patient's urethra by manipulation of the handle. The device has a flexion portion to allow the catheter to be positioned in a desired orientation relative to the handle for ease of insertion. The handle and catheter may be designed as a one-piece disposable construction or may be separate elements, the handle being useable with disposable catheters. The flexion portion may be an articulation structure, such as a ball-and-socket joint. Catheterisation is further facilitated by the provision of a mirror and/or light source on or associated with the handle.

  • Patent number: 4022157
    Abstract: The magnetic brush arrangement provides for the formation of a brush-like mass made up of a pulverulent mix of carrier particles and toner particles supplied in measured amounts. Measured amounts of developer particles are picked up in the flutes provided on the surface of a rotating drum which is partially immersed in the granular mass. The flutes are axially parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum and it is the volume capacity of the flutes that determines the quantity of developer mix picked up and conveyed to a developing station. At the developing station there is provided a series of cylinders having disposed within magnetic flux generating means so as to attract the granular mass of particles from the flutes and pass it along the series of cylinders in the form of a moving carpet of developer mix.
