An operable chair includes a seat which is pivotally connected to a support arm, the support arm being operably mounted on an upright frame for selective vertical movement along the frame. The seat is mounted for selective and adjustable tilting so that an operator may lean forward from the chair at a desired angle. A footrest is operably mounted to the upright support for selective vertical movement there along, independent of the seat. The footrest includes a foot platform which is selectively...

An operable hanger includes a pair of legs connected at their lower ends and generally symmetrically oriented about a vertical central axis. Horizontally oriented tips at the upper ends of the legs will selectively engage a support structure by movement towards one another. A slide bar mounted on the legs is vertically movable to bias the leg tips towards one another when moved downwardly and bias the leg tips away from one another when moved upwardly. A support hook is attached to the slide bar...

An operable wall system having a primary track and several storage tracks intersecting said primary track can be improved by the use of rotary switches at the intersections of the primary and storage tracks and by the use of a positioning structure carrying holders capable of being actuated so as to engage and disengage wall sections or panels being moved between said primary and said storage tracks. When such an operative wall structure is employed to move a wall section or panel on to the prim...

An electrically operable toothbrush, in particular an electrically operable toothbrush which includes an oscillatingly rotatable brush head, with the brush head being connected with a drive shaft, so as to be supported for rotation about its longitudinal axis. An electric motor is arranged in a handgrip of the toothbrush and a gearing having the input thereof connected with the electric motor and the output thereof with the drive shaft.

A manually operable standing wheelchair includes an actuator for moving an occupant from a sitting position to a standing position. The manually operable standing wheelchair has a lifting mechanism including a ratchet, cable, pulley, and telescopic tubes, which the occupant may manually operate to shift from the sitting position to the standing position.

A pump having a vessel with a hollow interior. An adaptor may be associated with the vessel and include an opening that facilitates selective flow of fluid relative to the interior. A piston may be slidably mounted within the vessel's interior and movable relative to the adaptor. The pump may also include a piston actuator having a first actuator end and a second actuator end in which the first actuator end is operably associated with the piston. The second actuator end may extend outside the in...

An exercise apparatus includes first and second handles that fit within a user's hands and are formed from non-porous and water impermeable material. Each handle has a medially disposed end provided with a disc-shaped region and a central cylindrical region. The central region is intercalated between first and second disc-shaped regions and has a diameter smaller than corresponding diameters of the disc-shaped regions. Elongated and hollow shafts have lateral ends conjoined with the medial ends ...
