Cups of a bra include integrated flexible bladders formed of a medical grade material having sufficient fluid integrity to hold a comestible liquid. The bladders may include a fabric sleeve. Each bladder is provided with an inlet, for purposes of filling, and an outlet for purposes of consumption. Alternatively, bladders having an appropriate geometry are filled by a manufacturer of the comestible liquid such that only an outlet is necessary. In all forms, the outlet communicates with a flexible narrow straw having a cross section which is preferably flat and elliptical. The bladder inlet is typically located at a portion of the bladder facing closest to the vertical axis of the body, while the outlet is advantageously positioned at the lowestmost point of the bladder to gain the fullest benefit of gravity on fluid flow through the outlet tube which, during periods of non-use, may be hidden in a number of ways, these including wrapping about the periphery of the bra cup itself, placing the tube underneath a bra strap, and placing the tube along the back of the user where one is wearing an article of clothing, such as a blouse, tank top, or bikini top which will hide such tube. A variety of accessories are provided to facilitate filling the bladders and drinking of the contents.
An automated bathing system or facility adapted for use in bathing large numbers of patients or persons in standing position by which the patients are suspended by means of a harness from an overhead rail and are moved 15 along a conveyor belt floor past a wetting station, a soaping station, a rinsing station and finally into a drying station where the patient is air dried still in standing position and is readied for redressing under conditions that minimize the danger of infirm or mentally incapacitated in- 20 juring themselves or others by struggling during the bathing procedure and that provide improved sanitation in that all steps of the bathing procedure are accomplished with the patient in a standing position such that wash cloths and towels are not needed

An enclosure for a baby, comprises a capsule which is capable of accommodating a baby and which is of openwork construction to permit access of a person's hand into the capsule. The capsule may take various forms, such as a cigar shaped cage as in fig. 3, or may have a cage like top and a part-spherical base as in fig. 4, such that movement of the baby within causes rocking motion. It may also comprise a spherical cage (figs 5 and 6), which may be suspended (fig 5). A section is removable to allow for access.
TV Mute Finger Ring with a hollow C shaped finger ring housing. The housing contains the standard electronics and IR transmitting LED associated with activating the mute function of a standard TV. The housing also contains a battery type electrical power source. The C shaped ring housing has a loop type fastener strip attached to one end of the C shape and a hook type fastening panel affixed to the opposite end of the C shape so that said loop type fastener can removably attach to said hook fastener thereby forming a full ring that can be worn on the user's forefinger. The C shaped housing contains a momentary on-off switch and attached outwardly accessible switch cover located in a position where the user's thumb can easily reach said switch cover. The IR transmitter is covered by a transparent plastic lens that is flush with the outer surface of said C shaped housing.; The plastic lens is positioned so that said lens and said IR transmitting LED are pointed outwardly in the general direction of said TV.
A reading light ring including a battery powered LED as the source of illumination. The reading light ring is intended to be worn on the index finger and operated by means of a thumb operated switch located on the side of the ring. The light emitted by the LED is preferably blue to green in wavelength so as to improve visual acuity in low light environments while minimizing the impact on the human eye readjusting from lighted to dark conditions. The LED is positioned so as to direct most of its light at an angle which would allow the illumination of a document held in the device bearing hand and allow the LED to be shielded by the opposing hand. The device is preferably waterproof and shock resistant.
A cigarette holder ring consisting of a resiliently contractible ring band operable to fit snugly on any portion of the wearer's finger, and a cigarette holding clip adapted normally to be folded extremely inconspicuously into the crown portion of the ring band, but to be extended therefrom to hold a cigarette, the clip being universally movably relative to the ring band to hold the cigarette in any position relative to his finger most suitable to any individual user.
A rod-like member of variable adjustable length has a handle at one end. A head part at the opposite end of the member cooperates with the dial of a TV set in a manner whereby a user in an area distant from the set selectively rotates the dial via the member.
A self-congratulatory apparatus having a simulated human hand carried on a pivoting arm suspended form shoulder supported member. The hand is manually swingable into and out of contact with the user's back to give an amusing or an important pat-on-the-back.
PURPOSE: To reduce weight of a coverlet applied to a lying-down person by easily hanging up the coverlet by using attraction force of magnets. CONSTITUTION: Magnets 1 to 4 fixed between two cloths are installed in the proper number on a coverlet, a blanket or a blanket made of toweling or the like directly contacting with the body of a lying-down person. On the other hand, magnets 5 to 8 are also installed in tip parts of strings 9 to 12 taken down from the proper number of holes 13 to 16 arranged in a string inserting member 21 left as it is at an elevated spot such as the ceiling. The coverlet, the blanket or the like are hung up together to a desired height by using mutual attraction force of the magnets 1 to 4 and the magnets 5 to 8 by winding up these strings. As a result, weight of the coverlet applied to the laying-down person can be reduced
