A disposable anesthesia face mask suitably sized and configured to engage the nose portion, mouth portion and chin portion of a patient's face comprises a cup-like shell or receptacle member and a flexible inflatable hollow sealing cushion attached to the shell member on a flange thereon and wherein the shell member includes first passageway means for coupling to a breathing circuit, and a second passageway for connection to a flexible tube which, in turn, is adapted to be connected to a CO2 monitoring machine or capnograph. The face mask shell nasal portion has a first width, the face mask shell mouth portion has a second width greater than the first width, and the face mask shell chin portion has a third width greater than the second width. The nasal, mouth and chin portions are continuous and form the cup-like extent of the shell or receptacle member giving it a characteristic “pear” shape. Lateral projections provided on the shell flange are intended to accommodate an elastic head strap that may adjustably be coupled to the projections to hold the mask in place on a patient's face and head.

Presented is an anchor bolt placement and protection device to facilitate setting of anchor bolts in concrete to facilitate placement of a mud sill. It is important that the anchor bolts that secure a mud sill to a foundation be properly spaced from the outside edge of the foundation. In one embodiment there is provided a device having a tubular projection open at one end to receive the threaded end of an anchor bolt. Projecting integrally from the bottom open end of the tubular projection are two lateral projections. One is adapted to place an anchor bolt when a 2×4 mud sill is used. The second projection positions the anchor bolt at the proper distance to receive a 2×6 mud sill. A second embodiment is provided with a single lateral projection extending perpendicularly from the open bottom end of the tubular projection. The top surface of the lateral extension is provided with cross-ribs and indicia that indicate the proper placement of either a 2×4 or 2×6 mud sill. A third embodiment provides a second laterally extending plate member in alignment with the first but on the opposite side of the tubular projection. Both extensions are provided with transverse ribs indicating the proper location of the device in relation to the underlying form boards.

A surgical instrument in the form of a biopsy needle for removing tissue samples from a patient. The device has means for preloading to excise tissue samples of a preselected one of many possible tissue sample sizes. After preloading, the procedure is easily accomplished using a single hand. The tip is rendered less traumatic by positioning the distal end of the tissue sample notch relatively close to the very distal tip of the stylet. This is accomplished by grinding the distal tip of the stylet into an elliptical shape in a plane having a lateral projection which is away from the distal end of the tissue sample notch.

A memory cell uses a pair of cantilevers to store a bit of information. Changing the relative position of the cantilevers determines whether they are electrically conducting or not. The on and off state of this mechanical latch is switched by using, for example, electrostatic, electromagnetic or thermal forces applied sequentially on the two cantilevers to change their relative position. The amount of power required to change the state of the cell is reduced by supporting at least one of the cantilevers with at least one lateral projection that is placed in torsion during cantilever displacement. After a bit of data is written, the cantilevers are locked by mechanical forces inherent in the cantilevers and will not change state unless a sequential electrical writing signal is applied. The sequential nature of the required writing signal makes inadvertent, radiation or noise related data corruption unlikely.

A handgun holster permits sideward extraction of the weapon, and engages with the central portions of the handgun without regard to accessories mounted to the front or beneath the barrel. The holster has a main element which engages the central region of the pistol in a snap fit between two opposed arms. Lateral projections extend from the back wall to restrict the side-to-side displacement of the gun and two resilient flaps extend around the engaged gun, providing additional retention, and covering the on/off switch of any flashlight accessory. The main element is connected to a mounting assembly to permit the main element to be set at any desired angular orientation with respect to the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly has two expandable parts with opposed flanges which permit mounting to either a conventional belt, or to a series of webbing pockets, such as in the military's PALS webbing attachment system.

The invention provides a fire disaster slide escape of a high-rise building. At present, the high-rise building is not provided with a specially-arranged fire disaster escaping facility; when a fire disaster happens, an elevator cannot be used, a fire ladder only can be used by fewer people including fire fighters and the like, and a lot of the people only can go downstairs by emergency staircases, so that the speed is very slow. If a terrorist attack accident, such as 911 in America, happens again, thousands of people lose the lives. The fire disaster slide escape disclosed by the invention enables the trapped people to rapidly escape from a fire disaster field in very short time so that the casualties can be reduced to the greatest extent. According to the fire disaster slide escape disclosed by the invention, a slide ladder shaft is arranged on one side of an elevator shaft or each fire prevention zone of the high-rise building; a slide ladder room is arranged on each layer in a slide ladder shaft way; and a straight-line slide ladder in a range of 30 degrees to 75 degrees is arranged between the upper and lower layers of the slide ladder rooms. One slide ladder is rotated for 180 degrees in each slide ladder room and then is connected with the slide ladder of the lower part. The process is repeated until reaching an exit of a bottom layer or an underground layer. The lateral projection of the slide ladders in one slide ladder shaft way is in a folded line shape. The fire disaster slide escape disclosed by the invention is simple in configuration, low in cost, and safe and reliable, and does not use power.

A compact spring-biased connector includes a housing having a chamber containing a conductive bus bar, a clamping spring normally having an expanded clamping condition for biasing a conductor bare end toward electrical engagement with the bus bar, and a release lever pivotally connected with the housing for displacement from a normally closed clamping position toward an open position, such that a lateral projection on the clamping lever operates the clamping spring toward a compressed open condition, thereby permitting removal of the conductor bare end from the housing chamber. The clamping spring is a compression V-shaped leaf spring having a stationary support leg and a movable clamping leg, with the lateral operating projection extending within the chamber to engage the spring clamping leg adjacent its juncture with the support leg.

The present invention relates to an apparatus that is used in the building of a tire and an assembly process for building a tire. The apparatus comprises an apparatus frame and a main shaft that is rotatable in at least one axis about the apparatus frame. The apparatus further comprises a building drum that is provided with a plurality of drum segments disposed concentrically about the axial center of the drum and are movable in both the axial and radial directions and is fixed to the main shaft in rotation. The drum segments further comprise right and left shoulders located axially at the lateral edges, and the base of each of the shoulder extends axially to form a lateral projection. At least one version of the apparatus has right and left shoulders of unequal heights to facilitate fabrication of tires having unequal bead seat diameters. The apparatus further comprises at least a right and a left side assembly coaxially attached to the main shaft and located proximately to the lateral projection of the drum segments. When the side assemblies are positioned at the inward limit of axial extension, the surfaces of the drum segments and of the side assemblies form a substantially continuous cylindrical surface that supports the axial width of tire products to be assembled. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of lift tab segments positioned proximately to the drum segments
