摘要： A combined storage container and installation device for a dental retentive pin. The storage container is elongated and has a top opening. A cap has a recess therein to hold the proximal end of the dental retentive pin while allowing fluid to pass into and through the recess. The cap is received and held in the open top of the container. By holding and manipulating the cap, the dental retentive pin may be removed from the container and installed under sterilized conditions without the user touching the pin.

摘要： An attachment for removably supporting a denture in the mouth of the user in which the user has at least two spaced apart dental posts implanted therein, the attachment including a first basic portion in the form of an anchor member semi-permanently attached to the anchor post and being curved to generally the shape of the alveolar ridge of the user and having a bar portion extending between the spaced apart dental posts, the anchor member having retention recesses at each end. The attachment's second basic portion is a denture member which conforms generally to the contour of the anchor member and which is engagable in proximity with the anchor member. The denture member is cast within a denture having simulated gum portions and teeth portions. The denture member has integrally formed projections which are removably insertable into the recesses in the anchor member, the axes of the projections and the axes of the recesses being inclined toward planes of the anchor member and the denture member. The denture member includes an arm pivotal between a locked and an unlocked position. The arm has a blade portion which extends underneath the anchor member so that the arm when in the locked position retains the denture within the mouth of the user. The bar portion is generally circular in cross-section and the projections and recesses are dimensioned to permit limited pivotal movement of the denture member relative to the anchor member when the denture is locked to the anchor member.

摘要翻译： 用于可拆卸地支撑使用者口腔中的义齿的附件，其中使用者在其中植入至少两个间隔开的牙柱，所述附件包括半永久地附接到锚固件的锚固构件形式的第一基础部分 并且通常弯曲成使用者的牙槽嵴的形状并且具有在间隔开的牙柱之间延伸的杆部分，所述锚固构件在每个端部具有保持凹部。 附件的第二基本部分是义齿构件，其大体上符合锚定构件的轮廓并且可接合锚定构件。 义齿构件被铸造在具有模拟的牙龈部分和牙齿部分的义齿内。 义齿构件具有可拆卸地插入到锚定构件的凹部中的一体形成的突起，突起的轴线和凹部的轴线朝向锚定构件和假牙构件的平面倾斜。 义齿构件包括在锁定位置和解锁位置之间枢转的臂。 臂具有在锚定构件下方延伸的刀片部分，使得当处于锁定位置时的臂将义齿保持在使用者的嘴部内。 杆部分的横截面通常为圆形，并且突起和凹部的尺寸被设计成允许义齿构件相对于锚固构件的有限枢转运动，当义齿被锁定到锚固构件上时。

摘要： Meat tenderization is achieved in a closed vessel in which the meat is placed, the vessel having a liquid medium therein, which may be a marinade, of a depth at least sufficient to cover the meat, and an air passageway port. A vacuum pump is connected to the port and a high vacuum is pulled on the interior of the vessel. While a high vacuum is maintained, the level of vacuum is rapidly cycled. The rapid variation of vacuum serves to tear and disrupt muscle and connective tissue in the meat and to increase absorption of the marinade.

摘要： An electrically animated fishing lure having a lure body, a motor retained by the body, a propulsion means driven by the motor whereby when the motor is energized the lure is caused to move on or through water, the lure being arranged to travel in a non-linear path, and an electrical conductor extending with a fishing line by which electrical energy is provided to the motor. The characteristic of the lure moving in a non-linear path permits a fisherman to control the movement of the lure in and around obstructions in the water being fished. The preferred propulsion means includes the use of oppositely extending rotating wings, one of the wings being configured to provide greater propulsion than the other and in another embodiment a flow cavity is provided having jets extending to each side of the lure, one of the jets providing greater thrust than the other.

摘要： An attachment for removably supporting a denture in the mouth of the user in which the user has at least two spaced apart dental posts implanted therein, the attachment including a first basic portion in the form of an anchor member semi-permanently attached to the anchor post and being curved to generally the shape of the alveolar ridge of the user and having a bar portion extending between the spaced apart dental posts, the anchor member having retention means at the ends thereof such as in the form of a recess at each end. The attachment second basic portion is a denture member which conforms generally to the contour of the anchor member and which is engageable in proximity with the anchor member. The denture member is cast within a denture having simulated gum portions and teeth portions. The denture member has retention means such as integrally formed posts which are removably insertable into the recess in the anchor member, the axis of the posts and the axis of the recesses being inclined toward planes of the anchor member and the denture member. The denture member includes an arm pivotal between a locked and an unlocked position. The arm has a blade portion which engages the anchor member at a point intermediate the retention means so that the arm when in the locked position retains the denture within the mouth of the user, the arm being engageable at its outer end by the fingernail of the user so that it can be pivoted to the unlocked position, allowing the denture to be removed.
