Abstract: The present invention provides protective eyewear for indoor and outdoor activities. In particular the present invention provides eyewear with an inner liner that protects the wearer's eyes from wind, dust, moisture, glare, allergens, and damaging ultraviolet radiation, while preventing lens fogging with a direct or indirect venting system.

Abstract: Eyewear is disclosed for use in sports and the like which captures airflow impinging on the front of the eyewear, filters it through baffling or a particulate filter to prevent the ingress of particulate matter, and then directs it through the dead space between the lenses and the wearer's eyes. The eyewear includes a frame shaped to fit a wearer's face including a front-facing ventilation opening, one or two lenses mounted in the frame, and a ventilation liner which includes filtered upper ventilation grooves extending through the top and bottom surface of the eyewear to allow air to flow through the dead space behind the lens. A cushion can be attached to the rear surface of the ventilation liner for cushioning the eyewear against the user's face.

Abstract: The present invention provides a collapsible tactile joint support for therapeutic use or as a training aid for sports. The collapsible tactile joint support of the present invention provides corrective tension for the joint up to a predetermined threshold level that is reached by applying an internal or external force, at which point the joint support bends or collapses thereby releasing the corrective tension and freeing movement in the joint. A collapsible tactile wrist support for use as a golf training aid is also described.

Abstract: An injection device is provided which avoids the problems of coring, needle dulling, and accidental needle sticks which can occur when a conventional sharp hypodermic needle is used to access a medication vial. In this device a conventional sharp hypodermic needle having a conventional syringe attachment such as a Luer Lok adapter is nested inside a specially adapted blunt cannula which is provided with a sharp vial access tip. The above assembly is enclosed by a removable protective sheath, to protect the vial access tip and blunt cannula (as well as the sharp administration needle nested inside the blunt cannula) before and during use. In use, the protective sheath is removed and the vial access tip is used to penetrate the elastomeric stopper which conventionally seals a medication vial, thus protecting both the blunt cannula and the sharp needle from contact with the elastomeric stopper.

Abstract: Protective eyewear for sports activities and the like having a resilient rigid frame is disclosed. Included is a sealing area around the eyes having a web which diverges outwardly in every direction toward the lens frame. The frame is curvedly contoured around the face of the user and in conjunction with the diverging web, provides both maximum eye protection and peripheral visibility. A semi-rigid frame provides for temple mounting and obviates the need for around-the-head straps.

Abstract: The present invention comprehends the provision of a fluid tight holding chamber which accumulates solution from the vial that aspirates during mixing or drawing fluid from the vial or is pressured out of the syringe upon extraction of the cannula from the vial. The holding chamber is defined in conjunction with the vial septum by a shield cap that surrounds and seals to the neck of the vial. The shield cap defines a guide for the cannula of the syringe and directs the cannula through a sealing member, the holding chamber, the septum and into the vial. One aspect of the invention provides a sleeve portion on the shield cap that receives and retains the syringe barrel. An arm is provided on the sleeve portion and has a notch that holds the syringe barrel in a predetermined position during shipment and storage of the assembly.

Abstract: The present invention comprehends the provision of a fluid tight holding chamber which accumulates solution (1) from the vial that aspirates or is pressured out of the vial upon extraction of the cannula from the vial or (2) is aspirated from the syringe before the cannula is removed from the holding chamber. The holding chamber is defined in the neck of the vial by an insert. The insert may be one piece or two piece and has an inner end sealing the contents of the vial from the holding chamber and an outer end sealing the aspirated medicament in the holding chamber. The insert has a luer seal for sealing against the luer connector on the syringe during the practice of certain procedures.

Abstract: An improved syringe incorporating a solid powdered medicament and a dissolving fluid in a compact manner utilizes a compartment for the solid material which may be readily packaged commercially and an arrangement whereby fluid and solid components may be mixed and the latter dissolved while maintaining complete hermetically sealed conditions for all components including the injection needle until the latter is ready for injecting into the patient or intravenous device. This is accomplished by a specially constructed tube which surrounds and seals the syringe barrel, injection needle, and medicament and diluent until ready for use. Added features are rigidity, simplicity and economy in manufacture, safety against malfunction and simplicity in operation by customarily trained personnel.

Abstract: The syringe has an outer casing open at one end and a cylinder reciprocable within the casing in which latter works a plunger; the cylinder is spaced from the inner periphery of the casing to form an outer chamber and the space within the cylinder forms an inner chamber, each chamber to contain the ingredients to be mixed to form a composition for injection; means being provided at the discharge end of the casing for the attachment of a needle for injection; sealing means at the open end of the casing are extended outwardly along the cylinder to protect the exterior of the cylinder from contamination during its withdrawal for the purpose of mixing.

Abstract: A tubular container and an applicator of the dropper type extended through one end thereof and spaced from the walls of the container; a sealing gland on the other end of the container; a sealing element in the middle of the inner portion of the gland tightly engaging the tip of the applicator thereby to seal the same; the applicator is press fit in the end of the container and has a stem provided with resiliently collapsible element such as a bulb; one component of the proposed mixture being inside the applicator and the other component of the mixture is between the outer container and the applicator properly separated until such time that the applicator is withdrawn to a distance equal to the depth of the sealing pocket thereby freeing the tip and permitting the pumping of the contents of the applicator into the component in the outer container whereupon the applicator is used for mixing the two components and after mixing them, the mixture can be sucked into the applicator and then suitably dispensed.
