Filed:

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Calvin Hargis - Warwick NY, US

International Classification:

A61F 5/058

US Classification:

602 7, 602 21

Abstract:

A wrist support device includes a splint body having a central portion and a thumb extension. The central portion provides a protective shield which is located such as to overlie a carpal tunnel of a human wrist when the device is worn. The central portion is raised relative to surrounding sections of the splint body such that the central portion can be elevated from the carpal tunnel, does not contact the wearer, and provides a support surface which disperses external forces acting thereon to locations other than the carpal tunnel so as not to compress the carpal tunnel. The thumb extension section of the splint body confronts, supports and stabilizes a base of a thumb of the wearer. The device permits the wearer to rest the inner wrist on counters, keyboard surfaces, counter edges or sharp and irregular surfaces without compression of the carpal tunnel area.

Abstract:

A device for skimming a pool surface to collect floating debris includes an elongate handle, a hollow body, and a spool on which an elongate continuous length of webbing is wound in a spiral configuration. The spool is housed within the body and the webbing is extendable from the spool through a slot formed in the body and is retractable onto the spool through the slot via spool rotation. The webbing has a proximal end to which an end piece is connected. The end piece is shaped to prevent passage through the slot and has a fastening element for being secured to an edge of a pool structure for removably mounting the end piece to the structure. The handle and body are sufficiently portable and lightweight to enable carrying by hand and ready removability of the entire device from the pool when not in use.
