    摘要: Described is a solid wax mitigation barrier for a hearing aid that is cleanable via a simple wiping motion, is not a cause of irritation within the ear canal, and is acoustically transparent. In one embodiment, a wax barrier function is provided by a tube cap for fitting over the acoustic port tube of a hearing aid receiver. The tube cap may be constructed of an elastomeric high tear strength material so as create a small flexible acoustic tube cap that prevents direct ingress of wax into the hearing aid receiver. The design of the cap may also include a bridge that spans an acoustic port inlet so as to block direct material ingress.

    摘要: A device to provide a quick and safe elimination of the supply of electricity to a building. The device attaches to the protective housing of the electric meter and permits the user to remain at a safe distance while further providing leverage to be applied to the meter to facilitate removal. If arcing of the electricity flowing through the meter occurs, the operator is safe from it harmful effects. It being recognized that during firefighting operations water is being applied in vast quantities and the dangers of arcing are significantly increased when water is present. The elimination of the supply of electricity to a building on fire is necessary to ensure the safety of the firefighters and other emergency personnel. The device is simple to apply and is applicable to all known types and sizes of meters. The extensive use of nonconductive materials, in the design of the device, ensure the safety of the user. Once the housing cover is opened or removed the device is secured to the protective cover of the meter by encircling the cover with a strap or band. A wedge shaped, or raised section, is provided to ensure a secure attachment to the protective cover, which generally tapers slightly inward toward the exposed end. Upward or downward pressure is then applied to the opposing end from attachment, the meter is pivoted, the connections disengage, the meter is removed from its housing, and the flow of electricity is terminated, while the operator remains at a safe distance.

    摘要: An apparatus for changing a light bulb that is out of reach for a person even with the use of a six foot ladder includes a substantially hollow elongated member and an extendable member which is disposed within the substantially hollow elongated member. A locking member is engageable with the hollow member and the extendable member for adjusting the length of the apparatus. A replaceable vacuum cup having a predetermined shape is disposed on a first end of the extendable member for attachment to such light bulb. A vacuum pump is disposed adjacent a bottom portion of the hollow elongated member, such pump is engageable with the cup for creating a vacuum in the cup for securing such light bulb therein. A vacuum release assembly is disposed on the pump for releasing such vacuum.
