  • Publication number: 20220031962
    Abstract: A hypodermic interface assembly includes a cannula and a hub. The hub is defined by a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the hub is breakably-connected to the first portion of the hub. The cannula is joined to the second portion of the hub. The second portion of the hub is defined by an outer head surface portion having a first geometry. The second portion of the hub also includes an outer neck or groove surface portion having a second geometry. The first geometry of the outer head surface portion is greater than the second geometry of the outer neck or groove surface portion.

  • Publication number: 20210015176
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an aerosol delivery device and a holder for use with a removable substrate cartridge. In one implementation, the holder may include a main body having a mouthend and a rotating end portion. The main body may define a receiving compartment configured to receive at least a portion of the cartridge proximate a distal end of the main body. The main body may further define an aerosol passage extending from the receiving portion through the mouthend. The rotating end portion may be configured to rotate to and from an open position, in which the rotating end portion is turned outward so as to provide access to the receiving compartment, and a use position, in which the rotating end portion is turned inward so as to cover the heat source of an inserted cartridge.

  • Patent number: 6729502
    Abstract: A self-contained viscous liquid dispenser includes a housing defining an internal liquid reservoir, and an opening defined through a front surface of the housing. An insert member is fitted through the opening, extends into the reservoir, and defines an internal pump chamber having a back end open to the reservoir and a front end open to the outside of the housing. A pump cylinder is slidably disposed and retained in the chamber. The pump cylinder is movable within the pump chamber from a rest position to a pressurizing position to pressurize and dispense liquid within the pump chamber through a delivery channel and out a dispensing orifice in the pump cylinder. The pump cylinder may be a multiple component device.

  • Patent number: 6648179
    Abstract: A viscous liquid dispenser includes a housing that defines an internal liquid reservoir. A dispensing pump mechanism is disposed in communication with the reservoir and has a delivery end extending from the housing for manual operation by a user. A mounting mechanism is configured as an integral component of the housing and provides the dispenser with the ability to be detachably connected to complimentary mounting structure on a wall surface. The configuration of the dispenser allows for a significantly increased capacity (volume) without a corresponding increase in the weight of the dispenser materials as compared to conventional dispensers.

  • Patent number: 6592068
    Abstract: Adapters according to the invention are configured for solid or coreless rolls of material dispensed in a roll dispenser. The dispenser has slots defined on the side walls thereof along which the adapters move. The adapters include a carriage having opposite side members attached to a transverse support arm. A pin is disposed on the outboard surface of each side member and engages in the slots defined in the dispenser side walls. A protrusion is disposed on an inboard surface of each side member and engages at least partially into a recess or divot formed in the sides of the solid or coreless roll.
