Publication number: 20240093068Abstract: Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (“PSA”) compositions crosslinked with a small-molecule crosslinker containing a single, thermally reversible moiety represented by the structure (I) (Formula I)). wherein each R1 is independently —H or —CH3, each X is independently C2-C6 alkyl, and each R2 is independently a C1-C6 alkyl group or an aromatic group. Under high temperature conditions the crosslinks may be broken, thus allowing for good coating and dispensing of the PSA. Upon cooling, the crosslinks reform to create a gelled PSA network without need of additional post-processing curing steps.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2021Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Bryan T. Whiting, Kevin M. Lewandowski, James A. Bergman, Peter M. Simone

Patent number: 11051660Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fluid pump including a plastomer spring with a captive valve element provided in an integrally formed valve chamber. The spring includes a first end portion and a second end portion and one or more spring sections connecting the first end portion to the second end portion, which spring sections can be compressed in the axial direction from an initial condition to a compressed condition and can subsequently expand to their initial condition. The valve chamber is formed in the first end portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2017Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Essity Hygiene and Health AktiebolagInventors: Hakan Lindstrom, Peter Bergman, Hugo Nilsson

Patent number: 10470616Abstract: A pump includes a housing forming a chamber; a dispensing opening; and a regulator fixedly arranged in the chamber. The regulator includes an inner valve for regulating a flow of liquid between the container and the chamber; an outer valve for regulating a flow of liquid between the chamber and the dispensing opening; a stem resilient along its length, sideways bendable, and extending in a longitudinal direction of the housing between the inner valve and the outer valve; and a displacement guide located at an outer portion of the stem on an inner side of the outer valve. An outer perimeter of the displacement guide and a portion of an internal surface of a guide region located adjacent the displacement guide are adapted to transfer the sideways bending of the stem to a relative displacement between the outer valve and the housing along the longitudinal direction of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: ESSITY HYGIENE AND HEALTH AKTIEBOLAGInventors: Hugo Nilsson, Peter Bergman

Publication number: 20190076864Abstract: A fluid pump includes a pump body having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, and a spring valve combination provided within the pump body. The spring valve combination includes a spring body having a first end portion, a second end portion and a spring section therebetween, which spring section is compressible in an axial direction from an initial condition to a compressed condition and is subsequently expandable to its initial condition; a first valve element provided at the first end portion of the spring body; and a second valve element provided at the second end portion of the spring body, wherein the spring body and the first and second valve elements are integrally formed. The first and second valve elements interact with an interior of the pump body to define a one-way inlet valve and a one-way outlet valve, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2015Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicants: SCA Hygiene Products AB, SCA Hygiene Products ABInventors: Hugo NILSSON, Peter BERGMAN, Håkan LINDSTRÖM
