  • Publication number: 20170173440
    Abstract: This uniquely constructed mouth protector material is designed to minimize damage and protection deficiencies associated with conventional athletic mouthpieces includes elastomer impregnated carbon fiber and resilient thermoplastics for encompassing the teeth. Each mouth protector material includes a thickness of elastomer infused carbon fiber overlain by and fused to pliable thermoplastics instantly disintegrating, deflecting and dissipating destructive forces directed to the head and mouth of a wearer so as to minimize damage. The device is designed to protect both the upper or lower teeth and brain by instantaneous absorption, reflection and disintegration of blows to the head and mouth of a wearer thereby optimizing protection.

  • Publication number: 20160107067
    Abstract: This uniquely constructed mouth protector adhesion method is designed to minimize discomfort and speech interference associated with conventional athletic mouth protectors, includes coating of a first substrate with a diffusion bond layer, moisture activated adhesive, thermoplastic polymers, surface constructions, electro-chemical deposition, physical gaseous phase deposition and chemical phase deposition applied directly to the channel formed by joining the inner wall, outer wall and bottom wall of conventional mouth protectors and a mouth protector material that is permeated throughout with suitable adhesives, is intended to prevent the mouth protector shifting or completely falling out of the mouth so as to minimize discomfort to a wearer. The system is designed to allow free movement of the tongue, thereby optimizing clear speech.

  • Publication number: 20150224385
    Abstract: A uniquely constructed labial connector designed to enhance protection to the anterior teeth and tongue, and maximize compliance with mouth protector regulations in sports, includes a resilient material overlaying the labial and incisal surfaces of the anterior teeth of a wearer, commencing vertically at the lingual-incisal line angle and terminating at a predetermined distance below the gum line and extending horizontally canine to canine. The device is designed to protect either the upper or lower anterior teeth while optimizing clear speech, thereby minimizing the probability of injury to the teeth and other oral tissues while maximizing athlete compliance with mouth protector regulation.

  • Publication number: 20110067172
    Abstract: A uniquely constructed toilet seat lifter designed to minimize damage to body parts, complicated machinery and expense associated with conventional toilet seat lifters includes a spindle and handle having precise dimensions allowing the handle to rotate about the spindle thereof, a base that is fixed to said spindle and mounted to a toilet seat. Accordingly, structures of the arm are in balance while the device is being used so as to minimize damage to the user. The device is designed to have only one moving part so as to minimize complication and expense to the individual.
