US Patent:

53123450, May 17, 1994

Filed:

Mar 11, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/848878

Inventors:

Richard D. Cole - San Jacinto CA

International Classification:

A61M 500

US Classification:

604110

Abstract:

The invention is a new and unique device much needed to protect the health care providers from the leading cause of exposure to blood born diseases in their profession, this being inadvertent needle sticks by contaminated needles. Dirty needle stick accidents are one of the major means in which health care providers are exposed to the HIV virus on the job. The invention is a blunt tubular stylet that is inserted into the commonly used intravenous therapy device. Initially it is positioned inside the needle stylet in a retracted position, by means of the friction catches. This allows the cutting tip of the existing intravenous therapy device's cutting tip to be exposed. Upon successful venipuncture the invention is positioned so its blunt tubular stylet is advanced beyond the intravenous therapy venipuncture device's cutting tip, obscuring it. Upon withdrawal of the intravenous therapy venipuncture device, the sharp cutting tip of its needle stylet is fully protected by the invention's blunt metal stylet. The intravenous therapy device's needle stylet along with the inventions blunt tubular stylet firmly secured within now can be safely disposed of.

Abstract:

This invention is a new innovative approach to filtered astronomical observation. The card consists of a pocket sized durable card containing the 8 most popular colored acetate filters used by amateur astronomers for planetary and celestial observations. Unlike conventional glass eyepiece filters, which requires that you remove the telescopes eyepiece to screw on a new filter for each color change, the pocket filter card has all 8 popular colors on one card, for immediate easy access without having to manipulate the telescopes eyepiece. There are many advantages to this over the eyepiece system in that it can be used on any size telescope and because the observer can so easily and quickly scan one colored filter to another, the observer can take advantage of enhanced imagery of all the colors observed due to his persistance of image imprinted in his mind. The card can be taken to any astronomical gathering and used over the eyepiece on any telescope on display without imposing on that telescope because manipulating the eyepiece to change colored filters is not necessary with the pocket filter card. The pocket filter card requires no expensive carrying case for storage, it is easily stored in a protective paper envelope which can be carried around in your pocket.
