Filed:

Sep 20, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/762758

Inventors:

Harley M. Luplow - Bloomfield Hills MI

International Classification:

H04B 108

US Classification:

455351

Abstract:

A compact, radio frequency receiver apparatus having left and right channel conductors windably disposed within a housing of the apparatus. The left and right channel electrical conductors each further have earphone transducers electrically coupled thereto. The earphone transducers may be manually, removably stored in a plurality of recesses formed in an external surface of the housing. The conductors are windably disposed on a spool within the housing of the apparatus, with the spool being rotatable freely therewithin. A spring operatively associated with the spool exerts a constant biasing force in a rewind direction to tend to constantly urge the spool in the rewind direction. A latching member, manually movable by a user via a pushbutton release member, holds the spool stationary after the conductors have been unwound from the spool an approximate, desired length. The conductors are operatively associated with an FM stereo receiver/amplifier housed on a printed circuit board within the housing of the apparatus. Controls for allowing a user to manually adjust the volume and frequency of the signal received by the FM stereo receiver and amplifier are also provided.

Abstract:

A releasable gripping glove is provided having one or more flexible artificial tendons extending through a finger section of a glove body. The flexible artificial tendon is configured to maintain a structurally articulated configuration when the finger section is articulated. Each tendon includes locking teeth that engages with a releasable locking tab extending form a locking mechanism configured to engage the locking teeth when the finger section is articulated. A release mechanism is provided to engage and disengage the locking mechanism. A thumb release rod is positioned within a thumb portion and connected to the release mechanism. The articulating of the finger section releasably locks the flexible artificial tendon in the articulated position, which is releasable through relaxing of the thumb portion.
