Publication number: 20210068419Abstract: A machine for dispensing an individual portion of a frozen dessert may include a cartridge cart having walls forming a cavity having a longitudinal central axis and configured to accommodate a cartridge. The cartridge may include a tube having first and second ends, a nozzle disposed at the first end, and a piston disposed between the nozzle and the second end and configured to slidably move along the tube. The individual portion of the frozen dessert may be contained within the tube between the nozzle and the piston. The machine may also include a plunger, a drive source operably coupled to the plunger and configured to drive the plunger along the central axis, and a support configured to support the first end of the cartridge such that actuating the drive source causes the individual portion of frozen dessert to dispense through the nozzle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Evan Spirk, Gary Stephan, Richard Klink, Marc Vitantonio, Jason Ertel, David Pehar, Robert Vystrcil, Brad Briscoe, Mark Cipolla, Donald Fuchs, Ben Parker, William Sebastian, Alexander Velet

Patent number: 9414659Abstract: A protective case for a mobile electronic device includes a shell defining a cavity for receiving a portion of the mobile electronic device within the cavity. The shell includes a membrane disposed adjacent a location corresponding to a screen of the mobile electronic device such that at least some of the screen of the mobile electronic device is viewable through the membrane. The shell also includes a gate disposed adjacent a location corresponding to a port of the mobile electronic device. The gate includes elastomeric flaps and is operable to at least two states including: a) a port covering state in which ends of the elastomeric flaps converge at at least one seam to close the gate protecting the port from environment outside of the protective case, and b) a port accessing state in which the elastomeric flaps separate and fold in to open the gate providing a passageway for a connector to be connected to the port of the mobile electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Fellowes, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Kennard, Marc Vitantonio, Patrick Brown
