Abstract: A syringe assembly for an inflation control system having a mounting head at one end is pivotally mounted in a mounting bracket for engagement with a drive arm. The mounting bracket is stationary in relation to the drive arm of the system. The mounting head includes a lateral projection on each of its sides having a shape and size selected for pivotal engagement with notches formed in side walls of the mounting bracket. The handle of the syringe plunger includes a driver retainer for capturing the drive arm in the longitudinal directions so that the longitudinal plunger movement is controlled by the drive arm. Neither the retainer nor the drive arm limits movement in the normal direction so that the syringe can be easily separated from the drive arm by an operator. A clamp secures the syringe barrel in the normal direction. Overcoming the force of the clamp is facilitated by the mechanical advantage provided by the pivotal mounting arrangement of the syringe assembly.

Abstract: A dual liquid spraying assembly comprises an outer container containing at least two separate compartments for two different liquids, a spray pump dispenser for mounting on the outlet of the container, and a valve assembly mounted between the compartments and the spray pump dispenser for controlling the proportions of the different liquids dispensed. The valve assembly comprises an inner valve member having a discharge outlet for connection to the spray pump dispenser and at least two inlets for connection to the respective compartments, and an outer, control sleeve rotatably mounted on the inner valve member for controlling connection of the inlets to the outlet. Both the inner and outer valve members are releasably secured on the outlet of the container to extend co-axially with the outlet opening.

Abstract: A CPM device is disclosed having a single drive tube supporting the calf and thigh support members. Arms extend upwardly from the calf and thigh support members, each supporting an adjustable cradle in which the calf or thigh rests. The support arms are rotatable 180 degrees so that either leg may be supported over the single drive tube. A foot support is also cantilevered from the end of the calf support drive bar. The drive tube which supports the calf and thigh drive support bars is cantilevered from a unique support mechanism which attaches an end of the drive tube to the horizontal bed frame at the end of the hospital bed. A rack and pinion mechanism is combined with a unique gas spring in order to allow the drive tube to be easily rotated up above the hospital bed with the gas spring providing a power assist to the person lifting the drive tube off the bed in order that the drive tube may be easily rotated up off the bed without undue physical exertion.

Abstract: A backcountry ski binding having a boot-receiving frame (10) and a climbing attachment (40) is detachably mountable (24, 26) upon a ski and convertible between a plurality of climbing modes (L) and a stored mode (C). The frame includes adjustable rear support means (28) that permit free heel operation at a plurality of boot positions to accommodate slopes of differing grade. The climbing attachment is pivotal about a main mounting pin and has an articulated plate (42) and arm (44) so that a climbing scoop (46) can be moved between not only the plurality of different climbing positions, but also between those positions and the stored position. Locking means (56, 58) are included to releasably and selectively lock the scoop in these positions.

Abstract: A continuous passive motion therapy device with drive means carried on the patients hand or arm having a gear train extending down the patients hand and movable drive arms connectable at a plurality of locations along the gear train to selectively exercise the metacarpophalangeal joint or the interphalangeal joint.
