Title: Mechanism for retractable gooseneck hitch ball
Inventor: DICK BERNARD L
IPC: B60D1/06
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: A retractable gooseneck trailer hitch mechanism for mounting in a bed (12) in a pickup truck (14). The mechanism (10) has a housing (28) with a generally vertical opening therein which receives a hitch member (22). The housing has a generally vertical slot (94) therein through which a portion of the hitch member (22) extends outwardly therethrough. A cam (24) having an arcuate face is pivotally coupled with the housing and is rotatable between a first and second position. A  linkage assembly (26) is coupled with the cam (24) and permits a user of the mechanism to move the cam (24) between its first and second positions from a location remote to the hitch member. When the cam is in its first position, the hitch member is in a lowered or retracted position. To move the hitch member to a raised or use position, the user rotates the cam (24) from its first position to the second position via the linkage assembly (26).

Abstract: A dental impression tray having a handle and a mouthpiece is disclosed herei n. The mouthpiece contains an upper portion and a lower portion defined as a means for laterally displacing excess impression material. The upper portion of the mouthpiece, which holds the impression material, is defined by outer and inner walls having arcuate shapes, a base attached to and extending the length of the bottom of the outer and inner walls, a plurality of elongated vent holes in the bas e, and a serpentine occlusal stop ridge extending from the top of the base. Therein the outer edge of the inner wall of the upper portion of t he tray are a plurality of holes which force excess impression material to extrude to the means for laterally displacing excess impression material. Excess impression material extruded from the holes flow laterally across the horizontal surface and interlock with the excess material extruded from the elongated vent holes thereby securely attaching the impression material to the mouthpiece. Moreover, the eliminati on of the palate on the impression tray which creates the impression of the upper dentition by the present invention decreases the likelihood of inducing a patient's gag reflex. Extrusion of excess material to the horizontal surface also causes only the requisite amount of impression material to remain in the upper portion of the tray. The combination of the improvements of the present invention produces an overall more comfortable and accurate impression tray.
