The present invention is an article of apparel, such as a wristband, that includes an radio frequency identification (RFID) device. The wristband is at least partially formed from an elastomeric material that allows the wristband to stretch while being drawn over the user's hand. The RFID device is positioned on or within the wristband. Once affixed, the RFID device remains an integral part of the wristband. The wristband may be used in any available RFID application, including a contactless payment system.

A disposable safety needle sheath (10) has a funnel shaped receiving end (16) to protect the user's hand and guide a used needle into a sleeve (12). Retaining means (28, 30) within the sheath engage an inserted needle and a cap (18) seals the needle sheath after the used needle has been inserted and disengaged from a syringe (36). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the retaining means comprises shoulders (28) at the open end of sleeve (12) to frictionally engage a needle hub (26), a cap (18) is mounted by a hinge to the receiving end (16), and locking means comprised of continuous annular ridge (32) and continuous annular groove (34) is provided to prevent the cap from being opened after closing.

Disposable safety needle sheath

A disposable safety needle sheath (10) has a funnel shaped receiving end (16) to protect the user's hand and guide a used needle into a sleeve (12). Retaining means (28, 30, 50, 58) engage an inserted needle and a cap (18) seals the needle sheath after the used needle has been inserted and disengaged from a syringe (36). In the preferred embodiments of the invention, the retaining means (50, 58) fixedly engage the associated needle hub structure of an inserted needle, a cap (18) is mounted by a hinge to the receiving end (16), and locking means comprised of continuous annular ridge (32) and continuous annular groove (34) is provided to prevent the cap from being opened after closing.

A portable foot and/or leg exercising apparatus for an operator which includes a first and second plate a mechanism for pivotally connecting said first and second foot plate together, centrally positioned between the first and second plate and extending vertically from each of the first and second plates and a mechanism disposed within or around the pivot mechanism extending from the first and second plates and operably associated with the pivot mechanism and coaxial therewith for providing a resistant force to pivoting of the first and second plates wherein the first plate is pivoted in a clockwise direction by the toes of one foot of the operator and wherein the second plate is pivoted in a counterclockwise direction by pressure from the anterior aspect of the other foot of the operator so as to cause muscular actions of the foot and/or leg of the operator.
