This invention relates to gravity reactive braking systems. According to the invention there is provided a brake system to control speed in a forward direction for descending inclined surfaces and a brake system for controlling rollback when ascending an inclined surface. The speed pacer braking assembly includes a downhill activator for selectively engaging a disc brake system when a predetermined inclined is reach. The anti-rollback assembly comprises a pair of graded brake cam structures operatively disposed adjacent wheels wherein the natural pull of gravity and the configuration of the cams operate to allow passage of wheels in both directions when on flat surfaces and in only a single direction when on an incline. When on an incline, gravity operates to dispose cams relative to the wheels such that rotation of wheels in one direction is hindered by a thickening of cam body caused by rotation of cam about its axis. Both systems include adjustment means for setting the incline angle at which brake assemblies will operate to hinder wheel rotation in the undesired direction.

This invention relates to a gravity reacting brake system. According to the invention there is provided a brake system comprising a pair of graded brake cam structures disposed on opposite ends of a connecting rod. Connecting rod and cams are operatively disposed adjacent wheels via lever assembly mount. The natural pull of gravity and the configuration of the cams operate to allow passage of wheels in both directions when on flat surfaces and in only a single direction when on an incline. When on an incline, gravity operates to dispose cams relative to the wheels such that rotation of wheels in one direction is hindered by a thickening of cam body caused by rotation of cam about its axis. The system also includes adjustment means for setting the incline angle at which cams will operate to stop wheel rotation in the undesired direction.

The present invention is directed to an ergonomic handle for a tool such as a utility knife. The handle includes a body having a first end and a second end. The body includes a lever arm attached to the second end of the body and a grip connected to and located perpendicular to the body. The lever arm rests against the back of a user's hand thereby stabilizing the handle during use.

In at least one embodiment, the invention includes an examination table for supporting a patient to allow the patient to undergo examination, comprising: a platform having a first side and a second side, a first leaf hinged to the first side, a second leaf hinged to the second side, and an elevation device residing underneath the platform, wherein the elevation device is adapted to cause the platform to incline toward a first direction or a second direction, thereby activating the first or second hinged leaf depending upon to which of the first and second directions the platform is elevated. In at least one embodiment, the hinged leaves are extendable and extend when the opposite side of the platform is inclined.
