A yo-yo wherein each half body has three essential elements: a axle/hub assembly, a rim, and an interior space containing flexible, compressible material, such as an elastomer or a bladder filled with gas, liquid, or gel. The axle/hub assembly and the rim contain the flexible, compressible material but are not rigidly in contact with each other. In this way a shock to the rim and vibrations to the string are suppressed and dampened by the flexible, compressible material. For greater flexibility and shock damping, there could be cavities (grooves or holes) in the elastomer material or for greater lateral stability, the rim could overlap the gaps between it and the axle/hub assembly. There could also be containment/alignment walls extending into the flexible, compressible material or O-rings in gaps between the rim and the axle/hub assembly.

An improved ventilator connection tube system designed to improve patient comfort and prevent accidental "pop off" incidents that often occur with standard endotracheal and ventilation tubes. The system includes a modified endotracheal tube that includes a cylindrical-shaped end adapter, an L-shaped elbow connector with a rotating leg member and a fixed leg member, and a ventilator connection tube. In the preferred embodiment, the rotating leg member is perpendicularly aligned on one end of the fixed leg member and slidingly receives the end adapter on the modified endotracheal tube. Disposed around the rotating leg member is a first rotating collar that securely fixes the end adapter to the rotating leg member. The fixed leg member includes a long leg section that slidingly connects to a rotating coupler attached to the ventilator connection tube. A second rotating collar is disposed around the rotating coupler to selectively attach the fixed leg member to the rotating coupler. When the system is assembled, the rotating leg member and rotating coupler are able to selectively rotate over the ends of the elbow connector and the ventilator connection tube, respectively, thereby reducing forces exerted thereon. Optional O-rings are disposed inside each joint to provide airtight seals.

Disclosed herein is a safety syringe. According to the safety syringe of the present invention, an adapter connected to an injection needle is threadedly coupled with the neck of a cylinder while interposing an O-ring therebetween. Thus, the movement of the injection needle is effectively prevented while in use, and thus the injection needle can be pricked accurately at a desired position of the patient's body. Since the adapter is formed with grooves, whereas a plunger is formed with two protrusions positioned diametrically opposite to each other so as to be inserted into the grooves, the adapter is rotated and then moved downwardly in accordance with the successive rotation and downward movements of the plunger after the adapter is released from the neck of the cylinder. The plunger is formed at its upper surface with a vertical rod extending upwardly from an eccentric position, whereas the adapter is defined with a conical cavity. The upper end of the rod is inserted into the cavity while being bent inwardly. When the injection needle is withdrawn into the cylinder, the injection needle is firmly tilted in a lateral direction due to the strong restoring force of the rod so that it can be collapsed simply against the inner surface of the cylinder. In addition, a circular plate is formed at a certain lower position of the plunger. The circular plate enables the user's fingers gripping the safety syringe not to come into contact with the plunger to be entered into the cylinder, thereby achieving the sanitary use of the safety syringe.
