Publication number: 20080086852Abstract: A versatile clamp which consists, at least in part, of at least one extendable arm, one fixed-length arm, pivotable clamping legs on the distal ends of the fixed-length arm and extendable arm, and locking means; wherein clamp adjustments, by the user, to the extendable arm and pivotable legs are retained by a locking action, which, prevents an inadvertent change of the extendable arm's effective length and the clamping legs' angular orientation from their set positions. The combination of a variable-length extendable arm and variable angular positioning of the legs enable a single versatile clamp to be used in a variety of clamping configurations. The versatile clamp may be easily made, without the use of any tools, to clamp onto thick and thin materials, alike, and to perform in applications which require an offset clamping operation. The versatile clamp may also feature one or more interchangeable clamping arm extensions and legs.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2007Publication date: April 17, 2008Inventors: Herbert Hall, Ronald Hamilton

Publication number: 20060260957Abstract: A package is provided for supplying contact lenses directly to a wearer by mail or internet order. An outer mailing envelope (402) contains packages of bulk quantity of lenses (210) and a trial quantity of lenses (310) of the same prescription and manufacturing lot. These are supplied simultaneously, the bulk lenses being packaged with a tamper-evident seal (212) while the trial lenses are accessible for use without breaking said seal. In the example described, bulk and trial packs of lenses for two eyes are contained within the same mailing envelope. Each bulk pack contains 92 lenses for three months' wear, plus a strip of four lenses in the trial pack. The strip of trial lenses is taken from one of six sheets of sixteen lenses included in the bulk pack. Prescription and lot details can be read directly from the blister packs through window in the bulk package, without breaking the seal (212).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Inventor: Ronald Hamilton

Publication number: 20050247580Abstract: A package (10+20+30) for contact lenses (10), especially ‘daily-disposable’ lenses, in which the overall volume of the package and the internal volumes of the lens-holding cavities (20) in the package are minimised. Volume minimisation is achieved by giving the lens package at least two of the following characteristics: (a) each cavity (10) is generally circularly symmetrical; (b) the concave internal surface (24) of each cavity (20) is formed with a radius (R (P)) that is within 200 microns of the radius of curvature (R (L)) of the convex outer surface (12) of the contact lens (10) held in that cavity (20), to give a ratio (R (P)/R (L)) of these two radii that is less than 1.2, and preferably less than 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2002Publication date: November 10, 2005Inventor: Ronald Hamilton
