Patent number: 4251887Abstract: A posterior chamber capsular lens implant and apparatus for implantation of the lens are utilized in a surgical method following a capsulectomy to remove a cataract impaired natural lens. The lens implant has a plane surface and a convex surface. The entire lens is fitted within the capsule of the posterior chamber. Affixed opposite each other within and along the peripheral edge of the lens are a pair of plastic, kidney shaped loops. The method for implanting the lens provides the steps of forming a triangular capsulectomy, extracting the cortical lens matter and any posterior subcapsular plaque matter from the capsular bag, and then inserting the lens implant. The insertion is accomplished by utilizing a plastic sleeve apparatus in conjunction with an irrigating canula. The loops of the lens implant maintain a centralized location of the lens within the posterior chamber capsule thereby eliminating any need for fixating sutures within the eye itself.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Inventor: Aziz Y. Anis

-
Patent number: 4251892Abstract: A box spring assembly which includes a generally rectangular frame, a plurality of upwardly extending wire springs mounted on the frame, and a wire grid supported on the upper ends of the springs so that the grid and springs cooperate to yieldably resist downwardly directed bedding loads. Each of the springs has a body comprised of two side-by-side arcuate portions formed integral at their upper ends with torsion bars that are connected by a connecting bar located between the arcuate portions. The arcuate body portions thus resist bedding loads with bending stresses and without any areas of stress concentration that would cause early spring failure. The torsion bars in each spring divide the spring load and resist bedding loads principally with torsional stresses, the combination of both bending and torsional stresses in the springs enabling increased load-resisting capabilities in the springs with a resulting efficient use of spring wire material.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Assignee: Hoover Universal, Inc.Inventor: William L. Hancock

-
Patent number: 4251894Abstract: A foot retaining strap for a swim fin having a pocket for receiving a wearer's foot. The strap includes a spring laced through a molded neoprene heel pad for comfort. The ends of the springs are secured to opposite sides of the foot pocket opening of the swim fin. The wearer's foot is held in the pocket under tension of the spring which holds the foot pad against the wearer's heel. Overstretching of the spring is prevented by a nonstretchable cord strung inside the spring, with the ends of the cord also affixed to the sides of the fin. The length of the cord is such that it prevents the spring from being stretched beyond its elastic limit.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 1977Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Assignee: Farallon Industries, Inc.Inventor: Ashley J. Hollingsworth
-
Patent number: 4251895Abstract: Surface water, potato pieces and starch particles are removed from raw potato slices as they are transferred from a water bath to a cooker on a perforate conveyor belt.

Caridis, Anthony A. Caridis, Clark K. Benson
-
Patent number: 4251896Abstract: The specification discloses a floor treating machine in which a vertical axis rotating brush is coupled to the motor through a motor gimbal having convex bottom and side walls which are seated in a cavity within a receiving brush gimbal, the bottom and side walls of the cavity having radii greater than the radii of the motor gimbal bottom and side wall so that the brush is free to shift its axis of rotation vis-a-vis the axis of rotation of the motor gimbal to thereby accommodate deviations in the surface being cleaned.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Assignee: Clarke-Gravely CorporationInventor: Thomas S. Block
-
Patent number: 4251897Abstract: A disposable toothbrush comprising a tubular member adapted to fit snugly over one finger of the user, or over a handle provided for such purposes, the tubular member having an inner surface comfortable to the user and an outer surface; selected portions of said outer surface having bristles. In another embodiment the toothbrush has a particularly configured disposable brush portion removably attached to a holder portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Inventor: Naveed Alam
-
Patent number: 4251898Abstract: A control valve has a first position in which it directs air under pressure to a wiper motor through a "run" line to actuate the motor to oscillate the wiper. The control valve has a second position in which it directs air through a park line to a valve complex which routes air unidirectionally to the motor to cause the wiper to assume a "park" or rest position. An overriding valve is interposed in the "park" line and is connected to the air pressure source. This valve is of the solenoid type and is intermittently operated by a timer upon its actuation to dispose the overriding valve in a first position in which the flow of "park" air through the override valve is interrupted for a brief period, to allow "run" air pressure to actuate the wiper in normal fashion, and then dispose the valve in a second position in which the "park" air is routed to the motor to temporarily halt the operation of the wiper. This sequence continues so long as the timer remains actuated.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Assignee: Instrument Sales & Service, Inc.Inventor: Robert E. Reichard
-
Patent number: 4251899Abstract: A wiper arm for transmitting moment from drive to a wiping element for wiping a vehicle window has a hub member connected with a drive, a U-shaped body member pivotally connected with the hub member and having two lugs connected with one another by a web so as to form a space closed at its three sides, a wiper rod accommodated in this space of the body member and arranged to support the wiping element and to move in direction of elongation of the body member, a structural member accommodated in the space of the body member and connectable with the wiper rod, a prestressed spring member accommodated in the space of the body member and mounted on the hub member and the structural member so as to urge the wiper rod, and a cover member which is arranged pivotally relative to the body member so as to pivot to a closed position in which the cover member closes the space of the body member at its fourth side and arrests the wiper rod.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Alfred Hoyler
-
Patent number: 4251900Abstract: A crosslink over-center hinge having a supporting wall member and a door member which are joined together by a crosslink mechanism formed by two linkage arms coupled pivotingly together in their middle area, the end of one linkage arm being directly journaled on the supporting wall member and one end of the other being directly journaled on the door member, the other end in each case being coupled to the other hinge member for guidance on a curve in space. The hinge having an over-center mechanism is provided with a closing spring, which mechanism resiliently urges the hinge to the hinge end position at least in the vicinity of the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1978Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Assignee: Karl Lautenschlager KG, MobelbeschlagfabrikInventor: Reinhard Lautenschlager
