Patent number: 11304508Abstract: A height-adjustable table including a length-adjustable support, a motor assembly configured to drive adjustment of the length-adjustable support, a motor housing supporting the motor assembly. The length-adjustable support includes a telescopic column assembly comprising an exterior tube, an interior tube, and a spindle assembly. The spindle assembly includes spindle rod fixedly coupled to a first end of the exterior tube, the spindle rod being threadingly engaged with a spindle guide coupled to a first end of the interior tube, whereby rotation of the spindle rod causes the distance between the first ends to change in order to telescope the interior tube into or out of the exterior tube. Illustratively, force from rotation of the spindle rod is transferred through the spindle guide and into the first end of the interior tube.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: OMT—VEYHL USA CorporationInventors: Peter Bennett, Matthew Knudtson, Anh Huynh

Publication number: 20200229827Abstract: A tourniquet having a first elongated member with a buckle on one end, and a second elongated member attached at both ends to the end of the first elongated member but leaving an intermediate portion of the second elongated member otherwise slidable with respect to the first elongated member. A windlass is used to twist the intermediate portion to apply tension to the first longitudinal member. Twisting the windlass produces a lineal component to the force and a torsional component. The buckle includes a first lateral side, a second lateral side and an intermediate bar between and spaced apart from them. The buckle also includes an anti-torsional plate that resists the torsional force. The buckle also has “teeth” the resist movement of the first longitudinal member from the buckle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2017Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventor: Jonathan Peter Bennett
