A TANGLE-PROOF COLLAR ASSEMBLY for restraining pets and various animals. Each embodiment utilizes a channel mounted on an annular band. The channel forms an arcuate path about the periphery of the band wherein a swivel truck assembly having 360° biaxial rotation may travel within the arcuate path of the channel. An attachment for the leash is provided on the swivel truck. Each embodiment employs a locking mechanism for securing the collar in a suitable manner to maintain the arcuate path. Additional embodiments are described that provide for a rigid collar, which may be adjusted by the addition or removal of sizing elements or sections and an alternate locking assembly. An embodiment of a harness based upon the present invention is also described.

Various methods and devices are provided for accessing an interior surgical site using an access portal which can be inserted and removed with minimal tissue damage and which can form a seal with tissue while inserted. Generally, a device is provided having a rigid elongate surgical access member with a lumen extending therethrough that is configured to receive a surgical tool. The device can also include a flexible sleeve having a lumen extending therethrough that is configured to receive the elongate surgical access member. A substantially rigid collar is provided disposed adjacent to a proximal end of the flexible sleeve and having a lumen extending therethrough that is configured to receive the elongate surgical access member. In an exemplary embodiment, the collar is movable relative to the elongate surgical access member to selectively configure the flexible sleeve in a relaxed condition in which the flexible sleeve has a relatively smooth outer tissue-contacting surface and a compressed condition in which the flexible sleeve has a plurality of protrusions formed on the outer tissue-contacting surface that are configured to create a seal between the outer tissue-contacting surface and tissue.

A sports boot including an upper extending above the ankle joint and at least one rigid collar extending around the wearer's lower leg, the boot including a device for adjusting the volume of the collar to better accommodate the shape of the user's calf. The adjustment device includes a wedge, or collar extension, positioned inside the collar, the wedge being fixed to the collar by means of at least one pivot and by means of a fastening mechanism enabling the relative displacement of the wedge with respect to the collar as well as a deformation of the wedge. The fastening mechanism includes a plate equipped with a cylindrical body having an axis Al and received in a first circular opening provided in the collar and a rivet received in a second circular opening provided in the wedge and received in a third circular opening having an axis A2 provided in the body, the axis A2 and the axis A1 being non-coaxial. The wedge is fixed by means of a first pivot and a second pivot, which are positioned on respective sides of the collar so that an axis Ap1 of the first pivot and an axis Ap2 of the second pivot are located on a first, substantially horizontal plane P1 and so that the fastening mechanism is not fixed on the first plane P1.

An airless dispensing pump for liquid products including a push button with a spray nozzle which communicates with a network of channels that is provided locally on the wall of an internal truncated-cone-shaped bore, and a housing. An upper part of the housing includes a dosing cell having an elastically-deformable wall, which is equipped with an intake valve and topped with a rigid collar for fixing same inside the bore of the aforementioned button. Moreover, the outer periphery of the collar has an inclined face which defines a swirl chamber opposite the above-mentioned network, while the inner periphery thereof is quipped with a passage to the chamber.

Decoy bags are easily kept open to allow filling with decoys by using a round rigid collar opening in the top of the bag by inserting said collar opening into the decoy bag and securing said bag to the collar opening with a large cable tie. Onto this collar are fitted several ferrules which form a holding mechanism for bungee cords passing through said ferrules. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the collar is made of a plastic material selected from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, high impact polystyrene or the like and has an indentation around the side so that the bag can be installed and tied.
