The present invention provides a clip-type medical sensor holder for use in positioning a pulse oximetry sensor relative to a patient appendage. In particular, a clip-type sensor holder is provided that clips around a portion of a patient appendage without necessarily applying a clamping force to that appendage to reduce or eliminate vasoconstrication. The sensor holder includes first and second opposing members in an opposing and hinged relationship that allows these members to move from an open position to a closed position relative to one another. When in the closed position, these opposing members are sized to receive a patient appendage (e.g., a finger) therebetween. A resilient member interconnected to each of the members maintains the sensor holder in the closed position about the patient appendage. In one embodiment, the sensor clip is formed as a one-piece unit allowing simplified construction and a reduced part count.

A conveyor belt (1) is composed of a number of identical links in the formation of an endless belt, where each link comprises at least one axle (3) arranged transversely in relation to the direction of travel (2), and an outer link (4) at each side in engagement with the axle. Each outer link comprises an elongated hole for the adjacent link's axle, so that the belt can be driven in a curve in the plane of the belt. Each outer link has at least one securing hole for a transverse axle, where the coupling-together between the axle (3 and the outer link (4) is effected by a separable snap-lock. The outer link is moulded as a one-piece unit in a suitable plastic material, preferably by injection moulding. The outer links (4) can also be configured in a larger version for the construction of conveyor belts for operation in self-stacking helical systems.

Fire-barriers systems, including pre-assembled intersecting and straight-line fire-barriers having either all male-, all female-, or both types of coupling ends eliminate on-site cutting and construction of barriers required for intersection-spaces and provide easy, rapid, and safe one-step, drop-in installation and coupling. All male/female ended fire-barriers are constructed as single-piece units. All adjacent laid-flat layers are continuously connected having no gaps or folds. Straight-line and L-shaped barriers are certified according to the criteria mandated by both the ASTM E 1399-97 (Reapproved 2005), Standard Test Method for Cyclic Movement and Measuring the Minimum and Maximum Joint Widths of Architectural Joint Systems and the UL 2079 Fire Resistance of Building Joint Systems Test for air leakage (Revised and relocated as 1.14 Mar. 10, 2006).

Thereby, light can be irradiated in correspondence with the situation of running the vehicle and life of the light source can sufficiently been ensured. Further, the additional lamp piece unit is made to be able to be compactly constituted to promote a degree of freedom of arranging the additional lamp piece unit.

An image display apparatus is supported by a supporting member positioned in front of the viewer's face. The supporting member is formed into a shape that allows it to fit into a face piece. Thus, the viewer is allowed to view an image displayed by the image display apparatus while wearing the face piece. Moreover, when the supporting member fits into the face piece, a face contact portion of the supporting member is held in contact with the viewer's face. At this point, since the face contact portion is formed so as to be symmetric with respect to a plane perpendicular to a line connecting the viewer's eyes, it is possible to easily prevent the supporting member from becoming askew on the face when the supporting member fits into the face piece. This helps prevent the image display apparatus supported by the supporting member from becoming askew while operations are carried out with the face piece placed on the face.

A washable absorbent article with a front portion, a back portion and a crotch portion therebetween. The article is constructed with a fully detachable one-piece adjustable belt which is hidden from view when the article is adorned. The belt attaches to rear sideflaps from opposing ends wherein alternate sized belts can be interchanged. Alternative hidden adjustable belts comprise partially detachable one piece units or elongated extensions of the rear sideflaps; and are intended to be wrapped around the waist of the user so the absorbent article can remain in place while a user is performing bodily functions. The belts can be partially or fully detached if a pull up underwear type garment is desired. The front portion is constructed to be brought up between the legs wherein the front portion elongated side flaps are attached to the rear portion of the article to assume a pant like shape. The caregiver may use existing attachment means to keep the absorbent article away from the genitalia while the wearer is performing bodily functions, including fastening front portion sideflaps to back portion sideflaps or laundry securing tabs. Additional washable external absorbent pads can be secured on the absorbent article for added absorbency. Furthermore, the article can be provided with leg coverings by affixing the absorbent body onto open crotch pants.
