Abstract: This invention relates to an electromechanical arm and accessories which are mountable on a battery powered wheelchair and used to grasp objects in the personal environment of the operator. The device is designed for simplicity of operation and comprises lower arm, mid arm, and forearm components which are rotationally and pivotally interconnected and selectively rotated through the utilization of a controller which is preferably disposed upon the battery powered wheelchair. The accessories include end-effectors (also called grippers), with features that are task specific or for general manipulation, other tools and means of holding tools, baskets, pouches, holders and other means of storing objects and tools, a variety of input devices that are tailored to the needs of the operator, a sleeve for protection, aesthetics, and increased functionality (with pockets and other means of holding objects), and mounting hardware for the electromechanical arm and associated components.

Abstract: An insulating sack for carrying beverages and other items includes an inner fabric bag having an open mouth and a closed bottom, an outer bag connected to the inner fabric bag along said mouth, means defining a first drawstring pathway adjacent said mouth, a first drawstring inserted along said pathway and having ends extending outside of the pathway whereby the first drawstring can be tightened to purse the mouth, and a second drawstring passing circumferentially around the inner bag and inside of the outer bag, whereby the second drawstring can be tightened to reduce the effective diameter of the inner bag at a position more than halfway from the mouth to the closed bottom of the outer bag, thus enabling one to custom-fit the sack to items of various sizes.
