Abstract: The display unit comprises a fixed frame with vertical front uprights 2 supporting fixed load bars 20 that bear the front end of the display trays 22. A movable frame comprising vertical rear uprights 10 can move vertically relative to the fixed frame, and supports load bars 25 bearing the rear end of the trays 22. A motor supported by the fixed frame turns a worm gear engaged in a nut fixed to the movable frame so that, depending on its direction of rotation, the motor moves the movable frame up or down. When the movable frame is in its raised position, the trays 22 tilt forwards so that the bottles 35 which they contain are carried forwards by gravity. When the movable frame is in the lowered position, the trays 22 are tilted backwards for ease of loading, the weight of the bottles 35 carrying them towards the back. The invention makes it possible for display units normally inclined towards the front to be loaded quickly and easily. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A printer which is provided with printing belts (16, 16') having printing types (16b, 16b') and display types (16d, 16d'), and setting wheels (7, 7') for turning the printing belts. In order to prevent the display types from being soiled, the movements of the printing belts are restricted, and, after the printing belts have reached turning restricting positions, the setting wheels are turned idly to prevent the printer from being broken. The turning restricting positions are determined by a pair of projections (16e, 16f; 16e', 16f') provided on the printing belts and edges (4a, 5a; 4a', 5a') of display window frames (4, 5'; 4', 5'). The idle turning of the setting wheels is done owing to the provision of inclined surface portions (16h, 16h') on the surfaces of recesses, with which the teeth (7b, 7b') of the setting wheel are to be engaged, in the printing belts, which inclined surface portions inclined upward from the portion closer to the projections on the printing belts toward the portion more remote from the same projections.

Abstract: A method for making a finished aspheric single vision, spherical or aspheric bifocal, multifocal or progressive addition contact lens includes the step of fitting a patient requiring a near correction with a single vision spherical or aspheric contact lens for optimal distance vision and comfortable fit. If desired, the patient is then over-refracted to determine the required near correction to be embodied in the contact lens. A portion of the optic corresponding to the center location of the pupil is marked on the convex side of the optic to form an optical preform. In some instances, the lens may not stabilize on the cornea to a suitable degree. Thus, it is often desirable to stabilize the contact lens, either prior to placing the lens on the patient or after rotation is observed on the cornea of the patent. Observation of rotation on the patient's cornea is enhanced by means of the mark that is used to designate the center of the patient's pupil. The optical preform is removed from the eye of the patient and the concave side of the optical preform is marked at a position corresponding to the mark on the convex side that denotes the center of the pupil. The mark disposed on the convex side of the optical preform is removed. A specified volume of polymerizable resin is placed in a mold embodying the required correction, which includes an add power zone so that the resin fills the intervening space between the mold and the optical preform. The add power zone is aligned on the optical preform to a predetermined position with respect to the mark on the optical preform designating the center of the pupil. The resin is then polymerized the optical preform is demolded to obtain the finished contact lens having the required correction.

Abstract: A device for measuring the depth below skin level of a blood vessel that has been punctured in the course of a catheterization or other interventional vascular procedure comprises a tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end portion that is preferably tapered to a small outer diameter. The lumen may have a stepped diameter extending between the proximal and distal ends. A first portion of the lumen is distally located and is of a diameter generally equal to the diameter of a guidewire with which the measuring device is used. The second segment of the lumen is of a substantially larger diameter. A side entry port is made through the wall of the tubular member at the distal base of the larger diameter section of the lumen. Graduated markings on the side wall of the tubular member extend from the side entry port toward the proximal end of the instrument. When the instrument is fed over a guidewire into a puncture wound formed through the skin and into an artery, the wall of the artery can be accurately located relative to the skin's surface by noting the graduated markings on the exterior of the tube at the point where blood flow enters the side entry port and fills the larger diameter lumen. Rather than having two coaxially disposed lumens as above, the tubular member may have a double lumen, one extending the entire length for accommodating the guidewire and the other extending between the tube's proximal end and the side entry port.
