Abstract: A device for delivering an apparatus or object to a targeted location within a human subject is disclosed. The device includes a body, a handle mounted to and movable relative to the body, a tube, a cable, and retention unit. The tube has a first end fixed to the body and a second end fixed to the retention unit. The cable has a first end fixed to the handle and a second end remote from the body. The cable extends substantially through the tube. The retention unit applies a retention force sufficient to retain the capsule during endoscopic delivery to the targeted release location. Manipulation of the handle in a direction relative to the retention unit generates a force on the apparatus greater than the retention force. A method of use is also disclosed.

Abstract: A tool kit is provided for enabling easy removal and attachment of a watch strap or band to a watch using spring bar type connectors. The tool kit comprises a work table and one or more tools which are stored in compartments in the work table and held releasably therein by detent means. The work table includes a watch support pad on which the watch is positioned for removal and attachment of the strap or band with one of the tools, the pad being made of rubber or other suitable material so as not to harm the watch finish. The work table also includes a pintle-compressing member in the form of a generally upright plate-like member having a first side wall and a recessed second side wall connected together at one end by a narrow end wall whose thickness is selected to compress a pintle of the spring bar connector when the plate-like member is positioned between a free watch case lug and a free end of the connector with the other end of the connector being engaged against the other watch case lug.

Abstract: A precious metal post for pierced earrings comprising an elongated hollow tubular member having a gently rounded closed end at one extremity thereof, the opposite extremity being open and adapted for connection to an ornamental member. The outer diameter of the post is approximately 0.035 inches and the wall thickness is approximately 0.004 inches. A thin coating of solder-flux material is provided on the interior surface of the post to facilitate securement of the post to the ornamental member.

Abstract: A separable fastener for releasably connecting spaced ends of a flexible member, comprising first and second substantially flat body members, each having means at one of its ends for receiving an end of a flexible chain or the like, one of said members at its other end having a transverse upwardly extending flange and further having a centrally positioned opening adjacent to said flange and bridged thereby, said flange having centrally positioned upwardly and downwardly extending lugs thereon, and the second body member at its other end having a centrally positioned, gently curved, reversely bent tongue adapted to extend beneath said flange, upwardly throgh said opening, and then rearwardly over said flange to releasably interconnect said members, said tongue having a centrally positioned longitudinal slot therein through which the aforesaid lugs extend, whereby said body members must be positioned perpendicular to each other to permit connection or disconnection therebetween.
