Patent number: 11938507Abstract: Metering dispensers include a body configured to hold a flowable composition in a chamber, a drive screw coupled to the body, and a plunger threadingly coupled to the drive screw. The plunger includes at least two annular lips that form a fluid seal with the chamber as the plunger travels along the drive screw through the chamber. A base is rotationally coupled to the body with a cam that contacts at least one tab extending externally from the body so that the tab enters at least one low point on the cam by traveling over a trailing edge of the low point, and the trailing edge then prevents the tab from exiting the low point in the direction of the trailing edge.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: DOSELOGIX, LLCInventors: Timothy Gayle Phipps, Daniel Lee DeYoung, Dale Melton Coker, Craig Jay Cochran, John Britton S. Mockridge, Nicholas H. Reaves, Ellen Y. Brown

Patent number: 10322433Abstract: Described are metering dispensers (10) having a body (100) configured to hold a flowable composition in a chamber, a drive screw (300) coupled to the body, and a plunger (400) threadingly coupled to the drive screw. The plunger includes at least two annular lips (416) that form a fluid seal with the chamber as the plunger travels along the drive screw through the chamber. A base (200) is rotationally coupled to the body with a cam (208) that contacts at least one tab (114) extending externally from the body so that the tab enters at least one low point (222) on the cam by traveling over a trailing edge (226) of the low point, and the trailing edge then prevents the tab from exiting the low point in the direction of the trailing edge.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: DOSELOGIX, LLCInventors: Timothy Gayle Phipps, Daniel Lee DeYoung, Dale Melton Coker, Craig Jay Cochran, John Britton S.

Patent number: 8840635Abstract: Improved lancet configurations and protective lancet endcap configurations are disclosed. In example forms, one or more flexing cantilevers project from the lancet body for coupling with a cooperating receiver of a lancing device. A gripping handle extends from a sterility cap for ease of removal from and replacement over the lancet tip. A lancet body has a smoothly curved wave contour with at least one crest and at least one trough for engagement with a cooperating receiver of a lancing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Facet Technologies, LLCInventors: Lauren R. Pusey, Brian M. Collins, Christopher J. Ruf, Nicholas H. Reaves, Jonathan W. Sanders
