Publication number: 20150174340Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for providing safe syringe assemblies for injections. The syringe assemblies include a shielding mechanism that covers a syringe needle after an injection is delivered, thereby reducing the risk of a subsequent accidental stab from the needle. The shielding mechanism has a pre-injection configuration in which the needle extends beyond the housing and a post-injection configuration in which at least one component of the syringe assembly covers the needle. In some implementations, the syringe assembly includes a lock that inhibits the assembly from returning to the pre-injection configuration once an injection is delivered. The syringe assemblies may also include a bevel orientation mechanism that allows a user to align a needle bevel to accurately insert a needle for injection.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventors: Anthony Torris, Alistair Bramley, Daniel Formosa, Eric Freitag

Publication number: 20140264205Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described for resetting an auto-injector. In one aspect, a device for resetting an auto-injector comprises a housing having a receiving shaft into which the auto-injector can be inserted in a receiving direction, a reset element configured to engage a collar of the auto-injector, and a post configured to engage a plunger within the auto-injector when the auto-injector is inserted into the receiving shaft. The reset element moves the collar relative to the auto-injector in a first direction along the receiving direction. The post moves the plunger in a second direction relative to the auto-injector opposite the receiving direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Morris Elijah Worden, Anthony Torris, Alistair Bramley, Eric Freitag, Daniel Formosa

Publication number: 20140276568Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described for using an autoinjector device. In one aspect, an autoinjector device comprises a housing and a plunger slidably mounted to the housing, the plunger including a tapered region. An actuator urges the plunger with respect to the housing from a storage position to a launch position, and a friction element about a portion of the tapered region resists a movement of the plunger from the storage position to the launch position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Morris Elijah Worden, Anthony Torris, Alistair Bramley, Eric Freitag, Daniel Formosa

Patent number: 8408666Abstract: A drawer assembly for mounting beneath a shelf has a drawer and a mounting unit. The drawer has a bottom, a front end, a rear end, and a pair of opposed side panels. The mounting unit is configured to mount to a shelf and has a pair of spaced apart drawer supports that support the drawer under a shelf. A pair of laterally spaced apart tracks is provided on either the drawer side panels or the mounting unit drawer supports. A pair of lugs protrudes from each of the other of the drawer side panels or the mounting unit drawer supports. Each pair of lugs is slidable relative to and along a respective one of the tracks. The drawer is slidable between a closed position and an open position relative to the mounting unit. The tracks and lugs cooperate such that the front end and rear end of the drawer are substantially level with one another in the closed position and the front end is lower than the rear end in the open position.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Rubbermaid IncorporatedInventors: William Armstrong, Christopher J. Claypool, Bradley S. Hooley, Michael Schumann, Stian Tesdal, Anthony Torris, Allen Zadeh
