How often do I find myself with a severed, or "discorporated" animal head, and no way to keep it alive? More often than I'd like to admit. Thankfully, in 1987, a patent was filed to solve this specific dilemma.
Yes! Finally!
Anyway, considering the fact that this patent was filed back '87, the consumer model - the Cabinet for the Masses if you will - must be on the brink of release. Nice. I'll check with my local Walmart.
"This invention involves a device, referred to herein as a "cabinet," which provides physical and biochemical support for an animal's head which has been "discorporated" (i.e., severed from its body). This device can be used to supply a discorped head with oxygenated blood and nutrients, by means of tubes connected to arteries which pass through the neck. After circulating through the head, the deoxygenated blood returns to the cabinet by means of cannulae which are connected to veins that emerge from the neck."
