A storage rack unit includes a pair of spaced planar end plates, an intermediate stabilizer panel and a plurality of dowels which extend between the two end plates. Each of the end plates has spaced dowel end receiving holes, each of whose longitudinal axes are angled with respect to a line perpendicular to the plane of each end plate. The angles of the holes in the first end plate are different from the angles of the holes in the second end plate. The provision of these angled holes in the two end plates allows the construction of each storage rack unit without the use of ancillary fasteners. Several such storage rack units can be joined together to form a composite storage rack system.

An air particle sample cassette enables concurrent or sequential collection of air particle samples. The dual air particle sample cassette has top and bottom covers that fit together to provide an airtight seal between them. The airtight seal may be provided by adhesive or otherwise. However, a close fit between the two also aids in obtaining an airtight seal. The top cover has tapering inlets circumscribed by channels. The inlets taper to create increased air speed at the exit slit of the inlets. The inlets have rounded tops for greater collection of air and the circumscribing channels provide means by which plastic caps or otherwise may be used to protect the inlets from collecting air until desired. The sample plate or collecting slide is fitted to the bottom of the top cover and obstructs the direct flow of air to the exit port. The collecting slide is protected from contact with other cassette elements by spacers or sidewalls which generally leave the corners of the bottom cover open. The exit port enables the common application of vacuum pressure to draw air through the inlets. Different inlet characteristics or air speeds may serve to enable selection of size of the particle sampled. Filter elements may also be introduced upstream of the inlets to further select sample particle size.

A safety hood for use in toxic ambient atmospheres, wherein the hood has a head portion and is formed in an economic manner and is entirely fabricated of a polymeric material and thus, is wholly disposable, and wherein an air passageway is integral with the head portion of the hood, and contains an air-permeable member throughout the substantial length thereof in order to prevent the collapse of the air passageway.

The back and stomach support device includes a) an elastic, flat, upraised, central back support, preferably tapering on its side margins from bottom to top, b) a first pair of flexible inelastic, elongated strips connected to the opposite sides of the central back support near the bottom thereof and sloping slightly upwardly as they extend laterally thereof; c) a second pair of such strips connected to the opposite sides of the central back support near the top thereof, overlapping the upper margins of the rear surfaces of the first pair of strips and sloping slightly downwardly as they extend laterally of the central back support; and, d) hook and loop fasteners on the strips. The strips wrap around the sides and front of the mid-section of a human torso for full support and overlap each other to an adjustable extent. The device can include a pair of elastic wings connected to the rear surface of the central back support and extending laterally behind the strips for releasable connection thereto to control the tension of the back support. The device can also include a removable pair of adjustable shoulder suspenders to hold the device in place when not in use.

Back and stomach support device

The back and stomach support device is utilizable by weightlifters, stevedors, etc., and includes an elongated flexible back strap with a resilient, flexible back cushion attached to the inner surface thereof. The back strap extends forwardly at the sides of the device and ends in opposed front loops through which the opposite ends of a front belt extend. To the inner surface of the front belt is connected a resilient, flexible stomach cushion. The front belt can be cinched tight by means of its opposite ends and be releasably held in place for example by hook-bearing strips and hook-receiving strips on the belt. The device encircles the waist and effectively supports both back and stomach to prevent muscle strain. The strap and belt are shorter in height than the cushions so that no pinching of the skin occurs during tightening. The opposite ends of the cushions may be tapered down for a similar reason and the cushions are short enough not to intercept each other. Preferably, they are of flexible foamed plastic, while the belt and strap are preferably of unfoamed flexible plastic. Detachable shoulder suspenders may be connected to the cushions and/or strap and belt to hold the device loosely in place when not needed.
