1. A method of externally passively loading an endoskeletal animal’s body to increase gravity and mass, comprising the steps of:
a. determining a midjoint location on an appendage where a weight is required to treat the animal;
b. determining a mass of the weight required to treat the animal;
c. determining a period of time necessary for treatment;
d. providing a garment having at least one pocket at the determined midjoint location;
e. inserting the determined weight into the pocket;
f. securing the weight in the weight receiving means; and
g. donning the garment by the animal for the determined period.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the pocket is circumferentially disposed on the garment.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the weight has a mass of greater than one gram per cubic centimeter.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the garment is a long sleeved upper body garment.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the garment is a long legged pair of trousers.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the garment is a short sleeved upper body garment.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the garment is a short legged pair of trousers.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the garment is a mid-length pair of trousers.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the garment is a stocking.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein a plurality of pockets is provided at the determined midjoint location.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein the plurality of pockets is sequentially placed at linear locations along the endoskeletal animal’s appendage.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A device for applying a liquid to pasty application medium to a moving surface having a running direction, the moving surface in a case of direct application being a surface of a fibrous web, the moving surface in a case of indirect application being a surface of a transfer element which transfers the application medium to a surface of the fibrous web, said device comprising:
an applicator for applying the application medium;
a doctor device arranged downstream of said applicator in the running direction of the moving surface, said doctor device for at least one of doctoring off the application medium applied to the moving surface and equalizing the application medium applied to the moving surface, said doctor device and said applicator defining an interspace therebetween; and
a flexible collecting part covering said interspace between said applicator and said doctor device, said flexible collecting part extending transversely with respect to the running direction of the moving surface and parallel to said applicator and said doctor device, said flexible collecting part collecting an excess said application medium that at least one of has not remained on the moving surface and has not reached the moving surface.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the fibrous web is one of a paper web and a board web.
3. The device of claim 1, wherein said collecting part is formed as a cloth which includes at least one of rubber, polymer-coated woven fabric, plastic and composites thereof.
4. The device of claim 1, wherein said collecting part is at least partly coated with a contamination-repellant material.
5. The device of claim 4, wherein said contamination-repellant material is polytetrafluoroethylene.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein said applicator includes an outer longitudinal wall, said collecting part is fixed to said outer longitudinal wall and to said doctor device by at least one of hooking in and clamping in, said outer longitudinal wall facing said doctor device, said collecting part being replaceable.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein said collecting part is formed so as to sag, said collecting part including a lower sagging section and at least one drain on said lower sagging section for a collected said excess application medium.
8. The device of claim 7, wherein said at least one drain is one of stuck into said collecting part, welded into said collecting part and clamped into said collecting part.
9. The device of claim 7, wherein said collecting part is self-cleaning in that said collecting part can be moved, wherein a moving of said collecting part results in a plurality of parts of a dried said excess application medium which flake off and are carried away via said at least one drain with a remainder of said excess application medium.
10. The device of claim 9, wherein said moving of said collecting part results in one of a drawn up said collecting part and a rolled up laterally said collecting part.
