  • Patent number: 5908437
    Abstract: A surgical instrument having an insert member for insertion of a treatment device, which is located at a distal end of the insert member into a tissue body. The treatment device is remotely manipulated by an operational wire. The instrument includes a support shaft and treatment members, such as forceps, rotatably supported by the support shaft. Actuating levers extend from the treatment members. Each of the actuating levers has a connection hole. Link wires are located between the operational wire and the actuating levers. Distal ends of the link wires are hooked to the connection holes, and proximal ends of the link wires are connected to the operational wire. The construction of the instrument permits the treatment device to be initially actuated with very little force by the operational wire.

  • Patent number: 4265015
    Abstract: A razor in which a razor blade and a blade support, on which the razor blade is mounted, move together back and forth with respect to the base of the razor so as to adjust the contacting angle with respect to the operator's skin. The base is provided on the top of the handle of the razor, and the razor blade and the blade support are covered by a top plate mounted on the base. Provided in front of the blade support is a guard member which projects forwardly beyond the cutting edge of the razor blade and extends parallel with the cutting edge. The blade support and the razor blade are moved back and forth by a rotatable operating member. When the blade support is retracted backwards, the whisker particles clinging to the blade are scraped off and dropped from between the base and the guard member.
