Title: Suspension system for exercise apparatus
Inventor: BARKER PAUL D
IPC: A63B22/02
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: A treadmill (10) includes a frame (12) on which are mounted transverse forward and rearward roller assemblies (16, 18). An endless belt (20) is trained about the forward and rearward roller assemblies. A deck (24) is positioned between the upper run of the belt and the frame. The rearward portion of the deck (24) is hinted to the frame by pivot brackets (70) mounted to the frame to allow pivoting of a deck about an axis extending transversely to the length of the deck. Preferably, the pivot bracket (70) is of unitary construction, but of sufficient flexibility to allow the relatively free pivoting of the rear portion of the deck in relationship to the frame. Elastomeric cushions or springs are supported by the forward portion of the frame to underlie and support the forward portion of the deck and to absorb impact toads imparted on the deck by the user. A pivot wall (90) extends downwardly from the rear portion of the frame (12) to support the rear of the deck and also to raise and lower the rear of the treadmill deck relative to the forward end of the treadmill deck, thereby to provide an adjustable incline for the deck.

Title: Disposable cup with spill resistant lid
Inventor: HOWES-JONES DARYL J
IPC: B65D3/20
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: A disposable cup has a bottom insert, and a substantially truncated conical body having an integral lid and a cup opening. The lid is movable between a raised position and a closed position, possibly via a semi-closed position. The lid has a free edge, with a liquid passage opening allowing liquid passage when the lid is in said closed position. The lid is foldably joined to the body along an arcuate first score line. The lid further has second score lines arranged at respective ends of the free edge, the second score lines connecting the free edge and the first score line so that, when the lid is pushed towards the cup opening, the lid flips into a position inside the cup opening, the movement of the lid being substantially aided by the folding of the lid along the second score lines. The lid has a larger cross-dimension than the cross-dimension of the body at the closed position of the lid, so that, when the lid portion is pushed further into the body, the lid is bent into a convex shape to seal liquid access along the inside of the cup, and the lid is partly held in the cup in the closed position by frictional forces between the lid and the inside of the cup, and partly by the second score lines causing outer portions of the lid to bend to a substantially vertical position, thereby increasing the force holding the lid in the closed position.

Patent CA-2320245-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ERIKSSON SVEN GUSTAV J
IPC: A61M5/50
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: A non re-useable syringe involving a liquid tight seal between a barrel and sliding piston mechanism that may be used for any conventional syringe utility. The piston assembly comprises a dual valve that splits into two single valves upon expulsion of the liquid contents. The dual valve includes one valve that forms a seal with the barrel for the drawing in of liquid and one valve that forms a seal with the barrel for expulsion of the liquid. Upon the first expulsion of liquid from a respective syringe, the two valves detach from one another. This action leaves the valve for drawing liquid forever open, preventing the syringe from again drawing in liquid, thus non-useable. This improved single use syringe design also exhibits a cap at each end of the barrel and a safety latch mechanism as tamper proofing features.
