Abstract:
A portable, inexpensive, safe bath massager having a submerged member defining a channel open at both ends to the bath water, a first passage adapted to be connected to a water source at a pressure above the pressure of the bath water and terminating at the channel in an elliptically shaped aperture through which water flows into the channel to impart momentum and cause bath water to flow through the channel and out one end as a stream, and a second passage adapted to be communicated with the air and terminating at the channel in an aperture so that the water flowing past draws air into the channel and aerates the stream. The member is mounted preferably in a housing which can be attached removably to a bath surface for directing the stream to any desired body part. A pair of hoses connected together attach the member to the water source and communicate to the air respectively.
Abstract:
An air compressor assembled with and driven by an electric motor is mounted upwardly on three legs, each equipped with suction cups, and with respect to electrical energy, being well grounded and located sufficiently away from the immediate bathing locale, to compress, filter, and deliver air into a flexible air guiding conduit equipped with fittings, one being adjustable in conjunction with the air compressor exit to regulate the quantity of compressed air continuing on through the conduit into a unitized molded compressed air distributor placed about the bathing structure interior periphery and on the longitudinal center near the bottom of the bath structure, the distributor being formed with precisely located underwater air ejection orifices, suction cups, and dual compressed air receiving entry connectors, optionally selected to receive one or more compressed air conduit fittings located on one or both sides of the bathing structure.
Abstract:
Provided is a container for drinking liquid comprising: a. a reservoir for holding liquid, the reservoir made from a material that shrinks as liquid leaves the reservoir, b. an opening for the liquid to leave the reservoir and exit the container; and c. a one way valve configured to be actuated by a person sucking the opening; wherein when the person sucks, the one way valve opens and the liquid leaves the container while the reservoir shrinks to compensate for volume of the liquid that left the container. In another embodiment, provided is a container for drinking liquid comprising: a) a housing in a shape of a phallus, the housing having a body and a cap, inside of the body of the housing having a reservoir for a liquid, the cap configured to be removably attached to the housing; and b) a channel in the cap configured to carry liquid from inside of the housing to outside of the container: wherein the reservoir is filled by removing the cap and pouring the liquid into the reservoir, and the liquid is consumed through the channel. Provided is a container for drinking liquid comprising: a) a body; b) a cap for removably attaching to the body, the cap having an opening configured to allow liquid to travel from inside of the container to outside of the container; c) a cup for holding liquid placed inside of the body, the cup maintained in proximity to a top of the body; wherein liquid leaves the cup and moves to the outside of the container through the opening in the cap. Also provided are mannequins in assembly with such containers.
Abstract:
A stress cone (10) for massaging tight back muscles of a human body, the stress cone being a conical shaped body (11) with a rounded tip (12) at one end and an opposed concave base (14) at an opposed end. The stress cone (10) is typically made of solid rubber or other rigid but slightly compressible materials, and in some embodiments features a hollow core (18) for housing a vibrating motor (20). In use, the stress cone (10) is affixed to a wall via the concave base (14), and a user positions an identified pressure point of his or her body against the tip (12) and applies body pressure to the tip. The user can move side to side or up and down against the stress cone, massaging the muscles located at the pressure point to loosen them.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to mobility aids and in particular, but not exclusively, to a portable device for releasably securing a mobility aid such as a cane, a crutch, a pole, a walking stick umbrella or other walking aids in a desired position. The device comprises an attachment operable to be connected to a fastener for releasably securing a mobility aid in a desired position. The attachment joins the fastener in a manner such that the fastener and attachment are capable of movement relative to each other in at least two planes. As such, the portable securing device may be used on a plurality of surfaces, which may be located on different planes or orientation.
Abstract:
A structural frame and methods of use thereof are disclosed that assists a patient that has limited ambulation. A structural frame is disclosed that includes a linear rod having a first end and a second end; two or more expandable telescoping sections disposed between the first end and the second end of the linear rod wherein the two or more expandable telescoping sections are operable to expand the linear rod bidirectionally at the first end and the second end; a force-loading mechanism engaging each of the two or more expandable telescoping sections operably connected to expand the telescoping linear rod.
Abstract:
An elevation device used in the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes a base and an upper support pivotably coupled to the base. The upper support is configured to elevate the individual's upper back, shoulders and head when pivoted. The upper support is expandable lengthwise. The upper support includes a neck support that is configured to support the individual's spine in a region of the individual's C7 and C8 vertebrae throughout elevation of the upper back, shoulders and head.
Abstract:
A massage device comprises a main body having a body-contacting head point adjacent one end and a handle region adjacent the other end, that permits the user to reach the back of his/her body with the head end when the handle region is at the user's front or side. A rest pivot extends from the main body and terminates at a distal end in a support-contacting face. The rest pivot is positioned so that when the massage device is sandwiched between a support surface and the user with the head point in contact with the user's body and the handle region positioned for contact by the user's hand, the user's body weight can be controllably and adjustably applied against the head point and also stabilizes the rest pivot on the support.The head point contacting the user's body can be one of a number of releasably securable head points.The rest pivot can be configured so as to be positioned where desired by the user or removed entirely.The handle region can include a roller positioned to enable the user can roll the roller along muscles to be relaxed using one hand when the rest pivot is sandwiched between the support surface and the user. The handle region can be configured to be detachable from the remainder of the massage device for grasping between the user's hands to roll the roller along muscles to be relaxed.
