20110158836LIQUID PAINT PUMPING APPARATUS - The invention relates to a liquid paint pumping apparatus comprising a piston reciprocable in a cylinder to pump liquid paint during a substantially horizontal pumping stroke of the piston and to charge the cylinder with paint during a reverse stroke of the piston. The apparatus further comprises a check valve disposed within the piston, the check valve comprising: a ball member, a seat, a spring urging the ball member into engagement with the seat, and a plastics cage guiding movement of the ball towards and away from the seat. The seat receives the ball member so as to form a seal to prevent flow of liquid paint between the ball and the seat during the pumping stroke of the piston, and the ball member moves away from the seat during the reverse stroke of the piston.06-30-2011

20120078272Device For Applying Successive Resilient Ligating Bands To Tissue - A device for applying successive resilient ligating bands to tissue is described. A sleeve has an opening at a front end thereof, and axially extending arms having axially extending spaces therebetween. Band-support surfaces located on the arms extend from the front end for accommodating a plurality of ligating bands. A first tube around which the sleeve is located, is reciprocal relative to the sleeve and has axially extending fingers provided with forward-facing pushing surfaces. Means are provided for drawing tissue to be ligated into the opening. In use, the pushing surfaces push the bands forwardly so that they ride along the band-support surfaces of the sleeve to each lie nearer the front end, a foremost band being pushed off the front end of the sleeve onto the tissue.03-29-2012
