Publication number: 20210347525Abstract: A container made of an elastomer such as silicone with a leak resistant seal and pressure shield. The seal incorporates press-fit elements sufficient to provide a strong seal that resists leakage of liquids from inside the container. The pressure shield increases leak resistance, is formed by material disposed on an inside of the container, and works by deflecting pressure away from the two leak resistant seal portions. The pressure shield includes a bottom pressure shield having an average thickness of at least 0.15 cm, and a top pressure shield having an average thickness of at least 0.15 cm.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Paul MAGUIRE, Katousha Ghaemi NOURI, Angelo CARPINELLI, Bryan Kin Fo AU

Patent number: 11124330Abstract: A container made of an elastomer such as silicone with an integrated leak resistant seal and pressure shield. Seal incorporates press-fit elements with sizes and shapes sufficient to provide a strong seal that resists leakage of liquids from inside the container, seal is integrated into the container and requires no external clips or clasps. The pressure shield increases leak resistance by at least 300% and is formed by adding material to the inside of the container and not to the engaging portions of the seal and works by deflecting pressure away from the two leak resistant seal portions. Additional features are provided to facilitate opening such as extended flaps for pulling the sides open, and asymmetric cavities for press-fit elements to reduce the initial opening force. The container may include a hole and be of asymmetrical shape, such as trapezoidal, to provide a wide opening along with a strong seal.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Stasher, Inc.Inventors: Paul Maguire, Katousha Ghaemi Nouri, Angelo Carpinelli, Bryan Kin Fo Au

Publication number: 20200207520Abstract: Embodiments include a method of manufacturing a container with a leak resistant seal. The method includes forming an elastomer or a plastic or any combination thereof into a container inside out by forming an outside portion of the container on an internal surface of the container before inverting the container and forming an inside portion of the container on an external surface of the container before inverting the container. In embodiments, the method includes forming or coupling a leak resistant seal on the external surface of the container before inverting the container. The leak resistant seal provides access to the inside portion of the container when the leak resistant seal is open after inverting the container and holds at least liquid internal to the container when applying an external force to the container without use of an external structure to keep the leak resistant seal closed after inverting the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: Stasher, Inc.Inventors: Katousha Ghaemi NOURI, Paul MAGUIRE

Patent number: 10537436Abstract: An expandable intervertebral implant includes a first endplate and a second endplate, a first wedge member and a second wedge member spaced from the first wedge member that couple the first and second endplates together. The first and second wedge members are configured to translate along an actuation member housed between the first and second endplates to cause the implant to expand from a first collapsed configuration into a second expanded configuration. The actuation member has a first threaded section spaced apart from a second threaded section where the first and second threaded sections are at an angle with each other. The actuation member is configured to move the first and second wedge members from the first collapsed configuration into the second expanded configuration so that the first and second endplates separate from each other to contact and engage the endplates of the adjacent vertebral bodies.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Paul Maguire, William Frasier
