A surgical retractor assembly and related attachments are provided to assist in surgical procedures. The surgical retractor provides for increased flexibility and ease of assembly. The surgical retractor may, for example, comprise two frame segments configured so that they may be coupled together using a connector that allows one frame segment to be vertically positioned above a second frame segment and lowered onto the second frame segment so that a top surface of the second frame segment is received within a connector channel. The frame segments may thus be coupled together to form an adjustable frame.

A cooler insert for placement into a portable hard cooler or ice chest for separating sandwiches, lunch meats, cheese, vegetables, and the like, and drinks from the materials used to cool these items, is described. Many commercially available portable coolers have rectangular-shaped cooling volumes with at least two of the opposing walls forming a horizontal ledge inside the cooling volume parallel to and below the opening thereof upon which the present cooler insert is supported. The present cooler insert includes three adjacent chambers, a first chamber for containing food items to be cooled, a second chamber for containing clean ice for use for cooling drinks; and a third chamber, having cylindrically-shaped compartments tapered toward the bottom, for holding cans or bottles. Bottom portions of the first two chambers may be formed using aluminum or other conductive metal plates covered with plastic, or using uncoated metal plates for improving conduction to the cooler insert from the cooler. The open top portions of the first and second chambers may be covered with a removable plastic or metal cover, which may also be used as a cutting board, when attached to the side of the cooler.

A convertible binding comprising a base plate, a heel plate and a toe plate. The toe plate is rotatable from one end of a frame to either lie underneath the base plate or extend outward from the base plate to form a front portion of a snowshoe configuration. The heel plate is rotatable from a second end of the frame to either extend upward from the base plate to provide a heel back support for a snow board binding configuration to or extend outward from the base plate, in an opposing direction from said toe plate, to form a back portion of a snowshoe configuration. A mounting bracket with a forward and rear lip is attached to a snowboard and holds the convertible binding. A locking mechanism will hold the base plate down.

A rotation and detent mechanism includes a body defining a cavity and having a travel limiter with two fixed faces protruding into the cavity. A detent plate nests and rotates within the cavity and has two limiting surfaces between which the travel limiter of the body is disposed. One of the limiting surfaces engages a respective one of the travel limiting faces of the body at each extreme of angular rotation of the detent plate. The detent plate includes recesses for engaging one or more spring loaded ball plungers mounted in the body. Each ball plunger engages a recess in the detent plate at certain angular detent positions of the detent plate within the body. The mechanism further includes an axle on which the detent plate rotates, and a coil spring that engages the detent plate, resisting rotation of the detent plate in one rotational direction.

An apparatus for pre-composting organic material, comprising: a housing with two openings and a pre-composting means between the two openings wherein kitchen scraps may be fed in the first opening and the pre-composted scraps exit the second opening. In an embodiment of the present invention the pre-composter includes: a lid assembly which may facilitate feeding scraps into the pre-composter; a hopper and blade assembly for pre-composting or cutting and shredding the scraps; a component tray for securing the housing to the hopper; a bin for collecting the pre-composted scraps; and a crank assembly which delivers rotational power to the blade assembly.
