Abstract:
An instrument holder, which may be separate from or integral with the instrument for persons with or without physical disabilities. A central bore enables insertion of instruments of varying shapes. Gripping surfaces include a compound bevel downward and with a decided right or left hand slope. Elements from a top palm rest to the lower planar surface are volute, forming a right or left hand spiral. At the rear, the palm rest curves aft and under terminating in the bevelled vertical detente. The hand specific side forms a concave surface sufficient to accommodate fingers, joints, knuckles, or hand webbing between finger joints, flaring outward joining the lower planar surface. From the upper rear bevel detente, the back forms a slightly convex surface connecting with the bottom. The body and instrument path is reversible exposing the larger circumference area of the palm rest along with other control surfaces. One version having an hour glass-shaped body with a truncated periphery forming a gripping surface with a curved concave surface portion enable the user to grip the device in any one of a variety of different ways.
Abstract:
A ring element for mounting in a peripherally extending groove of a cylindrical portion of a first body, wherein the ring element (10) projects out of the groove and bears at the inside against a cylindrical portion of a second body which can be fitted onto the first body. The ring element (10) has at its outer peripheral surface (12) a number of raised portions (14). Associated with each outside raised portion (14) on the inner peripheral surface (16) are a pair of inside raised portions (18) which are disposed in symmetrically laterally displaced relationship with respect to the associated outside raised portion (14).

Abstract:
A ring-shaped element is mounted in a continuous groove of a cylindrical section of a first body. The ring-shaped element (10) protrudes out of the groove and lies against the inner face of a cylindrical section of a second body that may be inserted on the first body. The ring-shaped element (10) has on its outer surface (12) a plurality of projections (14). A pair of projections (18) on the inner surface (16) is associated with each outer projection (14). The inner projections (18) are symmetrically offset sideways in relation to the corresponding outer projection (14).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a binder type clip effective for a small article product such as a writing instrument, a cosmetic implement, etc. which is easily assembled to a cylinder, is prevented from undergoing a short-term degradation of a spring fulcrum for imparting a clamping force to the clip part, is expected to have a long term assurance of quality for a long time and has a simple appearance. SOLUTION: The clip A in which the cylinder 4 such as, a barrel, a cap or the like is swingably mounted, and urged to be brought into contact with the surface of the cylinder 4 at a front end side from a swinging support point P0 and a rear end side operating part 5 is pressed to the cylinder 4 side and at the front end side to move away from the surface of the cylinder 4, includes a clip part 1, an elastic part 2, and a mounting part 3. The clip part 1 has a supporting leg 6 as the point P0 when the rear end side operating part 5 is pressed. The elastic part 2 has a first bending part 9 as a swinging opening/closing support point P1 of the clip part 1 when the rear end side operating part 5 of the clip part 1 is pressed, and has a second bending part 10 as a spring supporting point P2 for imparting the clamping force to the clip part 1.

Abstract:
A valve door for a seal cylinder comprises a lid having first and second surfaces and a connecting means connecting the lid with an actuating mechanism, the connecting means distributes forces from the actuating mechanism across a portion of the first lid surface in order to bias the lid to a closed position. A force directing member is attached to the first lid surface, the force directing member being adapted to distribute force from the connecting means over a portion of the lid surface, thereby maintaining a positive seal and reducing lid deflection.
