Appl. No.:

12/583199

Inventors:

Mark R. Winters - DeLand FL, US

International Classification:

B62K 27/12
B62J 11/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

A tow bar for tricycle or bicycle. The tow bar includes a handle attached at one end of a spine, an arm attached at an opposite end of the spine, and fingers attached to the arm. Each finger has a finger hook sized to engage a vehicle handlebar. In operation, the fingers are engaged with a vehicle, and the handle used to pull the vehicle by its handlebar. The position of the fingers along the arm and the angle of the fingers relative to the arm is adjustable, which allows the tow bar to be quickly and easily adapted to different handlebar designs. Padding may be centrally installed on the handlebar, and the fingers spaced so as to engage the handlebar on either side of the padding, thus keeping the tow bar centrally disposed on the handlebar.

Abstract:

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) can be delivered systemically in therapeutically or prophylactically effective amounts by pulmonary administration using a variety of pulmonary delivery devices, including nebulizers, metered dose inhalers and powder inhalers. Aerosol administration in accordance with this invention results in significant elevation of the neutrophil levels that compares favorably with delivery by subcutaneous injection. G-CSF can be administered in this manner to medically treat neutropenia, as well as to combat or prevent infections.
