An apparatus comprising a housing, a curved wall surface on the housing and a tube compressor carried by the housing. A compressible tube, which defines at least a portion of the passage, is positioned between the curved wall surface and the tube compressor. The tube compressor is mounted on the housing for free radial movement relative to the curved wall surface and for rotational movement. The tube compressor can be releasably drivingly coupled to an external rotary input so that the tube compressor can be rolled along the tube to pump fluid in the tube.

Pump and calibration system

A disposable container for application of paints, medicaments and coatings having a compressible hollow body with a closed end and a membrane sealed open end, and a stationary applicator housing fitted on the membrane sealed open end so that when the hollow body containing liquid is compressed, the membrane is punctured or fractured and the liquid is supplied to the applicator.

Disposable container with applicator

An improved cervical traction apparatus comprises a cradle including a bowl-shaped cranial cavity for supporting the head of a user and an occipital shelf support comprising a concave wall extending across the cradle. The cradle is secured on a base assembly which provides for movement of the cradle relative thereto to provide for both independent horizontal and vertical plane movements.

Cervical traction assembly having head cradle with occipital shelf

A chamber of a peristaltic pump is described wherein a segment of the stator is removed so that said chamber containing the rotor and resilient tube may be stored with the resilient tube not pinched by the eccentric rotor. When the chamber is to be used, a cap is snapped over the chamber which completes the missing segment of the stator and the rotor is engaged to the motor shaft. When the rotor turns in the stator with all segments snapped together, liquid is conducted from inlet to outlet ports.
