A detachment tool for use in detaching a detachable part from a two-part article having a fixed part and a detachable part. The detachment tool uniquely enables persons having impaired motor skills, persons having hand muscular difficulties and persons suffering from certain disabling conditions such as arthritis, to readily remove detachable parts from various types of two-part articles such as articles adapted for dispensing certain types of medicaments.

A severing device having a stationary and a movable cutting blade with the edges of each facing each other and the movable blade is actuated by a toggle-like linkage so that the blades come together to shear an element which drops into a chute. The blades are designed to overlap a very small but finite amount upon completion of severing.

A card attachment/detachment device includes a card accommodation section arranged at any one of the body and the lid; a terminal arranged at the other to comes into contact with a card placed in the card accommodation section and to press the card toward the card accommodation section; a stopper section constituting a part of a card insertion/removal opening communicating with the card accommodation section and coming into contact with a part of the card placed in the card accommodation section...

A tool for attaching or detaching a filmstrip to a cartridge. The tool includes a blade and a base section having an upper end and a lower end. The blade is integrally secured to the upper end of the base section. The tool is made by first providing the blade with a predetermined configuration and placing the blade in a mold and introducing a resin material so as to form the base section of the tool and integrally securing the section to the base section.

A threaded connection structure for rotatably connecting and disconnecting adjoining members including a female member having annular internal pitched threads and a male member for threading into the female member having outer threads complemental to the threads of the female member with raised areas along the axial faces of the threads of one of said members to cause areas of concentration of unit pressure between the threads so that unwanted rotation and unwanted unthreading is prevented. A fl...

Detaching a cured tire from mold sections of a tire mold during opening of the mold by communicating air under pressure into the space between the mold sections and confining the air in this space with a sleeve member supported on the upper mold section and slidably urged into sealing engagement with the lower mold section. Air under pressure is then communicated from the space between the mold sections to the spaces between the cured tire surface and the molding surfaces of the upper and lower ...

A method of using synthetic cell attachment-promoting peptides from fibronectin to detach cultured cells from the substratum is described.

An endoprobe includes a tubular element having a proximal end and a distal end. At least one optical fiber element is disposed within the tubular element. A plurality of laser light outlets are defined through a side wall of the tubular element. The at least one optical fiber element is adapted to conduct laser light from the proximal end of the tubular element to the plurality of laser light outlets, thereby to direct laser light radially of the tubular element. The tubular element is arcuately...

A magnetic detachment system 10 for prosthetics which includes a prosthetic sleeve member 20 having a dosed end 22 provided with a first magnetic member 23, a prosthesis unit 12 including a prosthetic socket member 30 having a closed end 32 provided with a second magnetic member 33, and a detachment unit 13 including a detachment member 60 having a generally flat head element 61 which can be interposed between the first and second magnetic members 23, 33 to separate the sleeve member 20 from the...

A spring detachment device includes two fixing seats, a transverse rod, and an operation mechanism. Thus, the spring detachment device can be operated by a single person only, thereby saving the manual work and the working time. In addition, the distance between the operation mechanism and the air door can be adjusted easily and conveniently, thereby facilitating the user replacing the spring.
