A device for maintaining an erection has tubes connected to C-shaped balloons disposed at the base and neck of the penis. The air pressure inside the tubes helps to maintain the erection, while the C-shaped balloons help to retain the blood inside Corpora Cavernosa due to the choke-like grip around the base and neck of the penis. The air pressure is supplied by a pump actuated by movements of a pubic bone during sexual activity.

An improved natural nipple baby feeding apparatus includes detachable inner and outer membranes which both extend substantially across a distance larger than the diameter of a standard baby bottle to which the nipple apparatus may be attached. The membranes have a width approximately double that of the height of the nipple apparatus. The apparatus functions as a training device for an infant by requiring the infant to correctly 'latch-on' to the apparatus by grasping the apparatus outwardly of the central nipple area and stretching the outer membrane upwardly so that it contacts the inner membrane which facilitates the flow of fluid from the bottle through both the membranes and out of the nipple. The nipple apparatus may be used in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, breast-feeding of an infant.

An umbilical cord cutting and clamping device includes two clamps abutted in a side-by-side relation and a blade connected to an arm of one of the clamps and positioned between the two clamps. Both clamps have an upper arm and a lower arm, and a hinge coupling the proximal ends of the upper and lower arms. The clamps are held in relative position by frictional engagement and by a latch means which is automatically disengaged when the clamps are moved into a closed position. Both the upper and lower arms include clamping surfaces for clamping the umbilical cord. The proximal end of one of the clamping surfaces is provide with a retention tab which retains the umbilical cord between the clamping surfaces; i.e., the tab prevents the cord from migrating proximally off the clamping surfaces and into the hinge area. The distal portions of the lower arms of the clamps include substantially vertical portions having ratchet surfaces having a plurality of proximally directed teeth which are engaged by a ratchet engagement means at the distal ends of the upper arms. The blade includes a cutting edge which is preferably angled distally downward relative to the upper arms. As the clamps are closed around a section of umbilical cord and clamp the cord, the blade extends between the clamping surfaces and cuts the cord, and the latch means is disengaged. The two clamps are separated from their friction fit while clamping the severed ends of the cord.

An improved nipple member for an infant nursing system includes a nursing portion that is formed of a first material and a mounting flange portion that is formed of a second material. The nursing portion is preferably transparent, while the mounting flange portion is color coded to indicate a design flowrate or a type of beverage that the nipple member is designed to dispense. The first material is preferably harder than the second material, which makes the nipple member harder to pull out of an infant nursing system during use. A method of making a nipple member is also disclosed.

A plurality of different advertising messages is displayed in a mechanical and repetitive manner. The size of the message is determined by the number of moveable panels used. A complete message can be shown on as little as two moveable panels or as many as an even multiple of two panels. Each panel is rectangular in shape and mounted with the long edge vertical. Each pair of panels are moved sequentially, first longitudinally and then transversely until a new message is displayed. The process is repeated sequentially to display each new message in turn. The total number of panels is determined by the number of messages and the size of each message to be displayed with each panel being located on a moveable carrier. The carriers are prevented from twisting and jamming by discrete springs and transfer guides that maintain a preferred relationship of the carrier when being moved.
