  • Publication number: 20200270030
    Abstract: A cap for a variable pour flow device is configured to close an opening of a container holding a liquid when assembled with the container. The cap includes a spout in communication with an interior of the container when the cap is assembled with the container. The cap is further configured to provide a first fluid flow in which fluid flows through a first passage and the spout when the container with the cap assembled thereto is tilted from an upright position toward the spout to an intermediate degree. The cap is also configured to provide a second, greater fluid flow in which fluid flows through the first passage, a larger second passage, which is spaced from the first passage, and the spout when the container with the cap assembled thereto is tilted further toward the spout from the intermediate degree.

  • Patent number: 10618255
    Abstract: A flexible laminate for which increased flexibility and improved durability can coexist, and a flexible display provided with same, are disclosed. The flexible laminate has at least one unit of a laminated structure in which two hard layers closely adhere to each other with at least one intermediate layer therebetween. When the flexible laminate is bent, neutral planes are formed inside each of the hard layers that closely adhere to each other with the intermediate layer therebetween. The flexible laminate satisfies the following expression: a×ln(tan ?×ET/0.01)?100. In the expression, a is any value ranging from 200 to 2,000, tan ? represents a loss factor for a substance configuring the intermediate layer, and ET represents an elastic modulus (MPa) of the substance configuring the intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 10588676
    Abstract: The present invention provides a bone fusion device which allows a distant bone body in a surgery direction to be pulled toward an adjacent bone body in the surgery direction while fusing the adjacent bone bodies. The bone fusion device includes a bone screw which includes a shank having an elongated shape with a circular cross-section, a screw thread formed on one end portion of the shank, and an adjustment female thread formed in the other end portion of the shank; a washer which includes a through hole into which the other end portion of the shank is inserted, and has a cross-sectional area larger than that of the bone screw; and an adjustment screw having an adjustment male thread screwed with the adjustment female thread of the bone screw through a through hole of the washer.

  • Patent number: 10253803
    Abstract: A suction device includes a suction pad, an article holder connected with the suction pad, and a release bar on the suction pad. The suction pad has an at least substantially planar contact surface configured to be adhered to a support surface. The article holder connects with the suction pad. The release bar has a first end or first edge disposed at or adjacent to a peripheral edge of the suction pad. The release bar and the suction pad are configured such that movement of the suction pad at or adjacent to the first end of first edge of the release bar with respect to the suction surface breaks a seal between the support surface and the contact surface.

  • Publication number: 20190022874
    Abstract: A suction device includes a suction pad, an article holder connected with the suction pad, and a skirt extending away from the article holder toward the suction pad. The suction pad has a contact surface configured to be adhered to a support surface. The article holder connects with the suction pad. The skirt extends away from the article holder toward the suction pad and is positioned with respect to the suction pad so as to inhibit access to the suction pad when the suction pad with the article holder connected thereto is adhered to the support surface. The skirt defines an access passage when the suction pad with the article holder connected thereto is adhered to the support surface. The access passage is configured to allow an operator's finger access to the suction pad through the access passage.

  • Publication number: 20180265266
    Abstract: A drinking container lid assembly a lid body, a closing mechanism, and a lockout mechanism. The lid body includes a drink opening. The closing mechanism attaches with the lid body and is movable between an open operating position and a closed operating position. The closing mechanism allows the flow of liquid from an associated drinking container through the drink opening when in the open operating position, and precludes the flow of liquid from the drinking container through the drink opening when in the closed operating position. The lockout mechanism includes a movable member biased toward liquid in the drinking container when the lid assembly is engaged with the drinking container. The movable member is configured to engage with the closing mechanism to inhibit moving the closing mechanism from the closed operating position to the open operating position when pressure in the drinking container exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20180228308
    Abstract: A product dispenser includes a body having an upper wall, a lower wall, and a side wall. A divider extends between the upper and lower walls and together with the walls of the body defines separate first and second compartments for holding associated products. The body includes first and second dispensing openings in communication with the respective first and second compartments. A valve assembly is operably connected to the body. The valve assembly has a closed state wherein the valve assembly is configured to close each of the first and second dispensing openings, a first opened state wherein the valve assembly is configured to open only the first dispensing opening, and a second opened state wherein the valve assembly is configured to open only the second dispensing opening.
