Patent number: 8034042Abstract: A port closure system for use with a fluid container having fluid ports includes administrative and additive port closure assemblies. The administrative assembly receives a piercing pin and includes an administrative housing which seals closed one fluid port. A sleeve extends from an interior surface past a base surface in the administrative housing. The sleeve has an upper portion and a lower portion, of differing diameters. A cap assembly mates with the administrative housing, sealing the interior surface of the administrative housing. A removable cap provides access to the interior surface. The additive assembly receives a needle and includes a reseal housing which seals closed another fluid port. Another cap assembly mates with the reseal housing, sealing an interior face of the reseal housing. Another removable cap provides access to the interior face. A reseal element is mechanically retained between the reseal housing and cap assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: John Domkowski, Richard E.

Patent number: 6635043Abstract: A cap assembly for a container has a hollow housing with an upper end that receives a fluid transfer device and a lower end that engages a stopper on the container. The housing has an internal cavity open at the upper and lower ends and a radially outwardly extending portion at the lower end. A penetrator is received in the internal cavity. The penetrator has a pointed distal end opposite the stopper and an upper end constructed to be engaged by a fluid transfer device. A cap is constructed the hollow housing. The cap has a closed upper end, an open lower end, a radially outwardly extending portion at the open end, and a circumferential line of weakness connecting the upper and lower ends. A ferrule is over the radially outwardly extending portion of the hollow housing and the radially outwardly extending portion of the cap.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2001Date of Patent: October 21, 2003Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Richard F.

Patent number: 5954104Abstract: A cap assembly is provided for mounting over the mouth of a container which is occluded with a stopper. The cap assembly includes a housing, a moveable piercing member or penetrator within the housing, a removable overcap over the housing, and a ferrule connecting the housing to the container. A preferred form of the penetrator is fabricated from sheet metal in a progressive die stamping process. One form of the overcap includes a frangible construction that permits the upper part of the overcap to be torn away to expose the upper portion of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1997Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Richard F.

Patent number: 4600344Abstract: A one-piece plastic wing-nut fastener is constructed to push onto a threaded stud and be held in threaded engagement therewith through the use of a pair of opposing arcuate thin wall sections which are formed with internal threads and which flex radially outward whenever the fastener is pushed onto a threaded stud to provide a ratcheting action therebetween. The thin wall sections are supported on a base member by a U-shaped support having a head section and a pair of leg portions. The pair of leg portions are integrally formed with the base portion and extend between the base portion and head portion in a parallel relationship with the thin wall sections. The pair of thin wall sections are integrally formed between the base and the head portion with its axis in alignment with an enlarged aperture in the base portion and an enlarged central opening in the head portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1983Date of Patent: July 15, 1986Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Paul M. Sutenbach, Brian R. Peek, Richard F. Daubert

Patent number: 4406033Abstract: A multi-part fastener assembly for attachment of a carpet-like member to a support. The fastener is designed to minimize snagging and/or scraping-type of engagement with objects that come in contact therewith. The exposed fastener part is an annular member which has a radiussed outer edge from which a plurality of rigid projections extend. The projections are designed to be able to penetrate the carpet-like member and a radially extending flange of another fastener part and be folded to fixedly position the fastener relative to the carpet-like member. The radially extending flange has areas of reduced thickness to ease the projections therethrough and is deflected to create an annular mounding of the carpet-like member around the annular member to cooperate therewith in increasing the resistance of the fastener to snagging type of engagement.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1981Date of Patent: September 27, 1983Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Lisa E. Chisholm, Richard F. Daubert
