Abstract: The disclosed concrete anchor driver tool is coupled to a rotary hammer drill to install a concrete anchor. The tool includes a rod having multi-faceted bolt head end, such as a hexagonal bolt head end, and a socket having a multi-faceted opening in the socket end of the socket. The socket is slipped over the rod and held against the bolt head end of the rod by a compressible spring. The concrete anchor driver tool is operated by coupling the concrete anchor driver tool to a rotary hammer drill, slipping the socket over the concrete anchor, and operating the drill in the hammer mode to hammer the concrete anchor bolt into the concrete. The rotary hammer drill is then put in rotate mode and used to rotate the concrete anchor driver tool rod, which rotates the socket, which, in turn, tightens the nut on the concrete anchor.

Abstract: A portable fluid container having an inlet and an outlet for allowing fluid to flow into and out of the portable fluid container. The outlet is completely covered and sealed by a selective filter which only allows gases and minute particles to pass therethrough while retaining liquid and other larger particles within the portable fluid container. The portable fluid container is attached to a cover and the cover seals an opening of a rigid container in which the portable fluid container is placed. The invention also relates to a novel connecting member for interconnecting the fluid container with a desired fluid collection device.

Abstract: A cytology collection device in which a debriding brush 3 is supported by a flexible elongate support 1 extending through a flexible tube 6 through which a specimen to be collected may be sucked. The brush is arranged for rotation by the support and is retractable within the tube during process of inserting the device through a scope 10 in preparation for the collection of a specimen. Once the site to be investigated has been reached, the brush is extended from the tube and rotated to debride the area concerned. A coupling 5 provides for removal of the specimen, rotation of the brush and independent axial movement of the support 1 and tube 6 relative to each other and the scope 10. One embodiment also provides a liquid supply for use in collecting specimens from dry bodily environs. The invention also includes the method of using such a device in which a brush is rotated to debride area from which a specimen is desired and that specimen is then sucked from the area of the brush for collection and analysis.

Abstract: An electrical, fiber optic and/or tube connector having a male connector member and a female connector member. The female connector member has a housing with an opening leading to a generally oval cavity with an electrical, fiber optic and/or tube transmission elements disposed therein. The male connector member has generally oval body portion carrying corresponding electrical and/or fiber optic conductor(s) on an exterior surface thereof. When the generally oval portion of the male connector member is received within the generally oval area of the female connector member, through the opening, and rotated with respect thereto, their respective transmission elements are brought into contact with one another. The oval-shaped configurations of the two members resiliently prevent undesired rotation of one member relative to the other member to maintain their engagement with one another.

Abstract: The method and apparatus for testing a personal barrier such as a medical glove comprises establishing a reference circuit through the body of an individual wearing the personal barrier. An electrical lead is connected with a saline solution or the body of the patient. The defective personal barrier is indentified through the establishment of an external circuit through the practitioner and the test solution or the patient. An alarm is sounded to alert the wearer to the defective condition. The detection is preferably accomplished by means of sensing the resistance of the external circuits.

Abstract: A surgical instrument rack for storing and supporting pivoted surgical instruments is defined by an open frame-type structure. The instruments are retained to the rack by a lock bar which also functions to maintain a pivotal frame in a position forcing the instruments to an open condition for cleaning and sterilization. Separator clips separate the instruments into groupings. A removable retainer clip snaps over the instruments and is adapted to display indicia referencing instruments in each grouping to facilitate return of the instruments to the rack after usage.

Abstract: A self-aligning bearing assembly includes a bearing sleeve having a spherical outer contour supported at one side of the equator thereof by a plurality of arms having spherically concave ends making intimate contact with the spherical outer contour. A retaining member engages the spherical outer contour at the other side of the equator to secure the bearing sleeve against linear displacement but to permit angular adjustment about the center of the spherical outer contour. A wick member having fingers fitting into windows in the bearing sleeve conducts a lubricant such as oil to the tangential surface of a shaft. A reservoir containing an absorbent material having a lubricant absorbed therein and available therefrom surrounds the bearing sleeve with the absorbent material in contact with the wick member.
