Patent CA-2372748-A1 (CA)
Title: A scaffold with vertical supports and horizontal carriers
Inventor: SCHWORER ARTUR
IPC: G04G99/00
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a scaffold with vertical supports arranged spaced apart next to one another and/or behind one another, with horizontal carriers arranged between adjacent vertical supports and with scaffold decks which releasably lie at their end regions on oppositely disposed horizontal carriers another and preferably extending parallel to one another, preferably by means of hooks,. The invention consists of the fact that the scaffold decks have at least one laterally projecting guide stop close to at least one end which can be slidingly placed on a horizontal carrier extending perpendicular to the horizontal carriers carrying the end regions of the relevant plate and arranged at the same height such that the scaffold deck held by an operator at the end remote from the guide stop can be displaced by sliding the guide stop on the associated horizontal carrier to the opposite horizontal carrier and can be pushed by tilting - preferably taking place after lowing of the end - about the side carrying the guide stop, at its end region, in particular the hooks, over the opposite horizontal carrier and can be placed into the position of use onto the associated opposite horizontal carriers by tilting back and lowering into the horizontal position.

Patent CA-2384320-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VATTI BALA R
IPC: A63B22/06
Filed: 2000-09-16
Abstract: People suffering from back pain would be able to use the apparatus more effectively to relieve the pain. Common users can also use this apparatus fo r strengthening and stretching exercises that conventional exercising equipmen t such as treadmills do not provide. Combinations of a general frame (1) along  with multiple attachements (8, 11) form an effective exercising apparatus (9 ). The user of the apparatus shifts weight from the spine or lower back to hand s while performing exercises. Ordinary upright position causes more stress on the lower back, and the weight of the upper body in motion may make the situation worse. By suitable placement of hands and selectively distributing  upper body weight to hands, the user would be able to control the amount of weight reduction on the lower back or spine as needed to achieve the best results and comfort.

Abstract: A method and system for distributing promotional offers and other incentives to consumers over a communication network and for the consumers subsequently to redeem at least some of the offers is disclosed. The invention includes storing manufacturers offers and/or retail incentives in a database C  associated with a cooperative communication network site (2) and providing information from the database to a consumer in a response to a request from a consumer to the database. The consumer may be connected directly to the database or may be given access to the database while logged into a retailer's or manufacturer's network site in such a way that the consumer is not aware that information is coming from the co-operative communication site. In addition, a transactional second database D is provided for recording transactions on the first database C so that when a consumer selects offers, step (27), from the database, an order is generated, step (28), on the transactional database. This order is passed to the retailer's on-line check out, step (30), and the transactional database is further updated, step (31), with any unfulfilled orders. Invoicing data is then produced from the transactional database for invoicing manufacturers and other suppliers for manufacturer's offers redeemed by retailers, and in addition, in an embodiment of the invention, marketing analysis reports are generated from the transactional database.
