Appl. No.:

10/932434

Inventors:

James P. Moss - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

A63H 5/00

US Classification:

446418, 446397, 84411 R

Abstract:

An apparatus, kit and method are provided for a turkey call having an outer ring attached to a pot of a turkey call device such that an internal sounding board in the pot is free to vibrate and undampened by a user's grasp when a user scrapes the surface of the striking plate of the turkey call. The outer ring is attached to the pot by a connecting means. The striking plate is surrounded by the pot, which encloses the internal sounding board. The internal sounding board is mounted to the pot. The connecting means attaches the pot to the outer ring at a minimum number of points to leave the internal sounding board free to vibrate when the striker is used to scrape the surface of the striking plate of the turkey call.

Appl. No.:

10/641230

Inventors:

James Moss - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:

B42F003/00

US Classification:

402008000

Abstract:

A sheet material holding device for receipt in a ring binder includes an elongated rectangular-shaped insert with a plurality of aligned apertures along one side. Each of the aligned apertures are positioned for registration with one of the rings of the binder. In each end of the insert is at least one slot wherein the slots are aligned to receive an endless elastomeric cord, or the like therein. A sheet of music or other sheet materials may be passed underneath the elastomeric cord and will be retained in place by the pressure of the elastomeric cord.

Appl. No.:

6/027739

Inventors:

James P. Moss - Louisville KY

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

128656

Abstract:

A self-sealing catheter apparatus and method are disclosed which are broadly useful in medical surgery and particularly to perform cholangiography or in connection with perfusion of the coronary arteries during open heart surgery. The catheter provides means for sealing a duct and introducing dye into the duct once the catheter has been placed inside of the duct. An inflatable balloon sleeve and adjacent reservoir are mounted near the distal end of the catheter. The distal end of the catheter is inserted into the duct until the reservoir contacts the outer wall of the duct and the balloon sleeve is thus located inside of the duct. Then, the reservoir is depressed forcing the fluid contained therein to inflate the balloon sleeve. The inflated balloon sleeve not only seals the duct against the passage of fluids therethrough, but also holds the catheter in place inside of the duct. The dye is then introduced into the duct via the catheter lumen.

International Classification:

A61M 2700

US Classification:

128350R

Abstract:

This invention provides a novel tubular member that can be surgically inserted into the common bile duct of a patient to perform the plural functions of, initially, providing, through its interior, a conduit for drainage of bile from inside that duct to a location outside of the body wall of the patient and, subsequently, with its exterior, promoting the growth of a fistulous tract between the outside of the body wall of the patient and the inside of the duct through which an instrument, such as a steerable basket catheter and the like, that has been non-surgically inserted into the duct via the interior of the tubular member for removal of an object, such as a retained stone and the like, contained therein, can be non-surgically withdrawn together with the object and the tubular member itself to a location outside of the body wall of the patient. Basically, the novel device that is provided by the invention comprises a hollow tubular member having the shape of a "T", with the "T" including a crossbar that can be flexed and inserted into the common bile duct through an opening that has been surgically made through the duct wall and a stem which has its junction with the crossbar constructed such that the distal end of the stem which then extends through the duct opening can be extended outwardly through an incision that has been surgically made through the body wall of the patient. The crossbar and stem each have only a single lumen through its interior, with the single lumen of the stem being fluid-connected to the single lumen of the crossbar at the junction of the stem and the crossbar.
