Abstract:
A cyclic orifice penetrating device according to the present disclosure may include portable frame for supporting the penetration drive mechanism. The frame provides three degrees of adjustment to permit adjustment for a range of user physiques as well as multiple use modes. A drive mechanism according to the present disclosure includes a motor driven, generally conical cam to activate the cam follower. The cams may be formed to have a number of profiles and may be easily removed and replaced to permit the penetration device to simulate a variety of user partners. The cam follower may be laterally adjusted across the cam during use to permit the user to control the amount of cyclic lateral travel of the penetrating element or elements. The motor speed may also be adjusted by the user to suite user preferences.
Abstract:
A mobility device includes at least a first front leg and at least a first rear leg connected to the first front leg connected to the first front leg. The first rear leg includes an upper member having a first end a second end and a lower member having a first end and a second end. The first end of the upper member is pivotally connected to the first end of the lower member, and the lower member is preferably pivotal between an extended use position and a folded storage position.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a patient aid device, such as a walker (W), includes the steps of molding a polymer or plastic connector (60) over first and second metal structural members (22, CB) to maintain the structural members in a first geometrical relationship. After the plastic has cured, the method includes the step of rotating the first structural member or front leg (22) relative to the plastic connector (60) to form an integral hinge without any seam in the plastic. The resultant walker includes front legs (22) hinged via the connectors (60) at opposite ends of the front cross brace (CB). The front leg (22) and rear leg (24) of each side frame (SF1, SF2) of the walker are interconnected by a lower cross brace (40) that has plastic preferably molded about the entire periphery of each leg.
Abstract:
A walker is made adjustable for various sizes of persons, including grossly obese persons. The walker includes two side support members, each of which has a front leg, a back leg, and a cross leg connecting the two legs. A braced sleeve assembly is positioned on the front leg of each side support member. The braced sleeve assembly has an elongated first sleeve dimensioned to slide over the front leg, an elongated second sleeve extending horizontally and inwardly from the elongated first sleeve, and a support brace extending at an angle from one sleeve to the other sleeve. The second sleeve has a set of spaced positioning holes. A releasable latch is mounted to the elongated first sleeve. The walker further includes a cross bar dimensioned to slide inside the second sleeves of the braced sleeve assemblies. Spring buttons on each end of the cross bar is mated with one of the spaced positioning holes of each braced sleeve assembly thereby allowing the distance between the side support members to be adjusted depending on which of the spaced positioning holes is selected. The walker's width is adjustable according to need. Further, the walker is capable of being folded to a compact state by releasing the latches to allow the side support members to revolve inwardly.
Abstract:
The invention is for a handle assembly for an adjustable crutch having two upper tubes each of which slides inside one of two lower tubes to adjust the height of the crutch. The handle assembly has a body, a lever attached to the outside of the body; and two locking pins positioned inside the body. Each locking pin is mechanically coupled to the lever and each locking pin is normally biased through tube holes formed in the upper tubes and through tube openings defined in the lower tubes to prevent the sliding of the upper tubes inside the lower tubes. The depression of the lever causes the locking pins to retract from the tube holes and the tube openings such that a user may slide the upper tube inside the lower tube to change the crutch height.
Abstract:
An ambulatory patient support mechanism, for use in hospitals and the like for assisting patients in walking along hallways, corridors, and the like. The mechanism includes a specially developed U-shaped support frame, configured to support a person in an upright position while walking. A telescoping column is vertically adjustable relative to the floor. A moveable carriage connected to the telescoping column provides horizontal movement along a suspended overhead track vertically above a given path of a hallway, corridor, or the like. A rotation mechanism allows the U-shaped frame to rotate 180° allowing patients to reverse their direction of travel along the given path. The U-shaped frame is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of body sizes. A pair of adjustable handgrips at the end of each U-frame member stabilizes the patient within the interior of the U-shaped frame. Commonly used belting and buckles secure each of the patient's upper arms to an arm restraint to aid in fall prevention should patient stumble or lose consciousness. When not in use, the mechanism can be folded to lie flat against the ceiling for storage.
Abstract:
A folding full bed massage mattress with idler wheel, which is comprised by two half covered bed mattresses and connected with top section of each mattress into full bed so that it can be folded; its features are as follows: an independent motor-driven active shaft lever is respectively mounted in inner middle section of this two groups of half bed mattresses, each carry one group to mount on shaft lever, passive massage seat with idler wheel that can move to and fro in axial direction is installed; one group of power or switch, loop control device is assembled between two half beds as relay of massage mattress, so that this two groups of half beds massage mattress can massage your body independently and simultaneously or continuously; so, this full bed massage mattress with idler wheel can be folded from the middle section, it thereby can occupy less room and convenient to carry with.
Abstract:
A wheeled walking frame (2) comprises a stand (4) provided with front wheels (16, 18), rear wheels (20, 22) and at least two grip parts (8, 10) for pushing the walking frame (2) in the walking direction (6). The grip parts (8, 10) can pivot out of a main position (I), in which they are essentially parallel to the walking direction (6), into a pivoted position (II) in which they are arranged essentially transversely to the walking direction (6).
Abstract:
A cranial massage helmet includes a plurality of resilient massage wheels mounted on its inner surface for application to the head of a user. The massage wheels travel along a number of tracks bonded to the inner surface of the helmet. An individual stepper motor drives each wheel.A control system, which may be contained within a hand-held controller, contains a programmed logic controller for directing drive cards that are wired to each individual motor for independent control of each massage wheel. A variety of massage modes are made possible by the control system.The control system also includes audio components allowing a user of the helmet to select an audio program that may be heard through earphones mounted in the helmet.
Abstract:
The ISOROM is a rehabilitation device for both surgical and non-surgical upper extremity/shoulder patients to allow passive range of motion (PROM) and isometric strengthening within isolated ranges of movement. The apparatus is appropriate for continued progression of active assistive range of motion (AAROM) as particular physician protocols allow.
