Abstract: Compact combination exercise and massage apparatus which includes a modular support frame including front, intermediate and rear sections built of materials such as plastic tubing so as to be lightweight and modular in construction. A platform is suspended on the support frame and a resilient body support rests on the platform for promoting reciprocating movement of the user during exercise. A first pair of resilient hand grips is suspended from the intermediate section of the support frame for providing exercise in either a standing or sitting position. A second pair of resilient hand grips is suspended from the rear section of the frame for providing exercise in a sitting position. A massage device is suspended from the rear section of the frame for use in the standing position, and a gate is removably attached to the front section of the frame for use in combination with the massage device in a sitting position.

Abstract: An improved device for assisting one in the donning of a sock, stocking, or like foot covering. The device comprises a handle member from which laterally and transversely depend a pair of sock expanding and holding members which are adapted to be placed within a sock to spread same for permitting easy entry of the foot of a user. An improved control bar extends between the wire-like handle members and permits the spacing between same to be adjustable to any of a plurality of distances, correspondingly varying the distance between the sock engaging members. An auxiliary holding member may be provided for facilitating use of the device by an amputee.

Abstract: A device for assisting one in the donning of a sock, stocking, or like foot covering. In a preferred form, the device comprises a handle member from which laterally and transversely depend a pair of sock expanding and gripping members. The sock expanding and gripping members are designed to be placed within the sock and serve to spread same longitudinally, horizontally and vertically to permit easy entry of the foot. The user then brings the foot covering about the foot and ankle and utilizes a unique combination frame positioner and sock release device to release the sock and withdraw the device.

Abstract: An improved fountain paint roller which features the utilization of a pair of aperture-containing cylinders which are rotatable relative to one another so as to bring their respective apertures into and out of alignment which, in turn, turns on and off the paint supply located within the inner cylinder. Guide means are formed near the edges of the inner and outer cylinders for establishing the on and off painting positions, and an end closure cap fits the inner cylinder adjacent the same end for containing the paint therein. A single wire handle has a shaft extending through the distal end of the cylinders for permitting relative rotation thereabout. Means are provided for attenuating forces on the end closure cap which results from the paint positioned within the cylinders. A separately provided key fits within notches formed in the end closure cap for effectuating the control of the paint supply through the apertures to an outer applicator pad.
