  • Patent number: 10349159
    Abstract: A headset mountable microphone shield for obscuring the lips of a wearer of a conventional headset with hands free microphone. The headset mountable microphone shield includes a shield body which defines a planar member sized to obscure the mouth of a person and which is integrated with a clip member which defines an elongated limb with a front side and a back side. The clip member is attachable to a stem which connects a hands free microphone to a conventional headset through a pair of clips on its back side and secured in place with fastening screws which operate in conjunction with the clips. As such, a user can slide the stem into the clips and tighten the fastening screws, thereby wedging the stem against the clip such that it is held in place.

  • Publication number: 20160101266
    Abstract: A medical instrument clamp for removably securing an elongated medical instrument within a housing to be conductively connected to a conduit. The present invention generally includes a housing having a first opening at its first end and a second opening at its second end. The first opening leads to a first channel adapted to receive an elongated medical instrument such as a catheter guide wire. The second opening leads to a second channel adapted to receive a conduit such as a connection conduit for a medical device. A contact internal to the housing is positioned between the first and second channels to conductively connect the medical instrument with the conduit. A pair of arms and clamp are included which may be transitioned to open or close in response to manipulation of a knob. By closing the arms and clamp, the medical instrument may be removably secured within the first channel.
