An apparatus is provided to restore eyelid function in a patient unable to voluntarily raise an eyelid. The apparatus includes a spiral torsion spring and pulley arrangement mounted in a housing that is implanted in the superior portion of the orbit of the eye. A wire connects the pulley to the eyelid. A spiral torsion spring provides the necessary spring force in tension to overcome the weight of the eyelid and draw the eyelid open. The natural muscles of eye closure are, however, sufficiently strong to overcome the spring tension thereby paying out wire from the pulley and closing the eye so as to provide normal blinking function. A position setting gear allows the biasing force of the spring to be selectively reduced sufficiently to allow the eye to remain closed for sleep or at other desired times. A method of treating ptosis is also disclosed.

An auxiliary gutter to receive, secure and house cable for connecting to an adjacent load center. The end walls of the gutter have a recessed edge region or notch intermediately thereof with cooperating clamp means to lay-in and secure lengths of cable without cutting. Wiring cable may thus extend unbroken in one continuous run from the top floor of a building to the bottom and connect to load centers on each floor by laying in cable and clamping to respective auxiliary gutters mounted along side each load center. Tap kits connect the cable electrically to the load centers. A cover is provided which has universal features, including a break-away tab and uniquely positioned mounting holes, making the cover useable with installations where the load center is the same length as the auxiliary gutter, where the load center is shorter than the auxiliary gutter, where both are flush mounted, and where both are surface mounted.
