Emergency Location Signaling Device
US Patent:
6032607, Mar 7, 2000
Filed:
Apr 8, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/838525
Inventors:
Clifford E. Ashline - Midland TX
International Classification:
B64B 150
US Classification:
116210
Abstract:
An aerial lift balloon and signaling components attached thereto are stored within a closure member held assembled with a breakaway housing to form a package storing an inflating device for the balloon. Removal of the closure member initiates inflation of the balloon and operation of the signaling components, while removal of an end cover of the package permits separation of the breakaway housing enabling the positioning of the inflating device by a flotation collar portion of the package for aerial launching of the balloon. A stroboscopic light suspended between the floatation collar and the aerial lift balloon provides enhanced visibility of the signal device.
Carpal Cuff
US Patent:
5925007, Jul 20, 1999
Filed:
Oct 6, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/944470
Inventors:
Clifford E. Ashline - Midland TX
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
602 21
Abstract:
A carpal cuff having a lower bearing surface adapted to be worn on the forearm of a user to prevent repetitive stress injury during the operation of a computer mouse or keyboard. A padded arm support is made of a platform and a cap plate. The platform and cap plate secure a pair of arm straps therebetween and support a pair of rotatably attached bearing spreader plates. The bearing spreader plates each having acrylic bearing attached to which can be spread out from the arm support to a deployed position or stored beneath the arm support by rotating the position of the bearing support plates. When the carpal cuff is attached through the use of the arm straps to the user, the forearm of the user is fixed in a correct and neutral position to transfer weighting of the elbows to the carpal cuff to prevent stress of the wrist and carpal tunnel of the user. The use of the bearing plates allow the user to move the computer mouse without having to lift his arm and the carpal cuff. The use of hook and loop attached straps allow the device to easily be fitted to any user and reduce the likelihood of interference with the circulation or comfort of the user.
