Patent number: 11840000Abstract: A method of over-molding materials includes: providing a first material in a groove in a first portion of a mold such that only a single surface of the first material is exposed to a vacant portion of the mold; providing, via an injection molding process, a second material in a liquid form in the vacant portion of the mold adjacent to, and in engagement with, the first material; and allowing the second material to solidify and become directly coupled to the first material, thus forming a single component. During the method, the entire single surface of the first material is flush with a plane defined by outer surface of the first portion of the mold. The second material has one or both of a greater hardness when solidified than the first material and/or a higher melting temperature than the first material.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: CSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Donald Huber, Jonathan R.

Patent number: 11834231Abstract: A child-resistant container including a container body, a lid, and at least one resilient tab is provided. The lid is pivotable about an axis through a hinge joining the lid to the container body to open and close the container. The resilient tab has a proximal portion fixed to the lid, a distal portion projecting from the lid, and at least one abutment on the distal portion. The abutment on the distal portion of the tab is normally biased into engagement with an abutment on the container body when the lid is in its closed position. The distal portion of the tab is displaceable against the bias to disengage the abutment of the tab from the abutment of the container. Displacement of the tab releases the lid so that it can be pivoted about the hinge to open the container.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: CSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Pierre Giraud, Michel Zbirka, Joseph W.

Patent number: 11718451Abstract: A packaging assembly includes a container body defining an interior for housing a product and an opening leading to the interior. The assembly further includes a cap that moves with respect to the container body to move the assembly between a closed position in which the cap covers the opening, and an opened position in which the opening is exposed. A first seal (40) is defined between the container body and the cap. The first seal includes a protrusion (42) formed on one of the container body about the opening or the cap, and a groove (44) formed on the other of the container body about the opening or the cap. The protrusion is received by the groove when the assembly is in the closed position, such that contact is maintained in a sealing relationship around the opening between the groove and the protrusion.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: CSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Freedman, Donald Lee Huber, Michael Bucholtz, Randall Christopher LeCroy

Patent number: 11590298Abstract: An inhaler for facilitating inhalation of dry powder includes a body defining an interior space and a mouth piece. At least one annular member is positioned within the interior space and is rotatable with respect to the mouth piece. The at least one annular member includes a plurality of compartments. Each compartment defines a cavity configured to hold dry powder. Each compartment includes at least one flap and an opening configured to release the dry powder when the at least one flap is reconfigured from a closed position to an open position. The at least one flap covers the opening and inhibits the dry powder from being released from the cavity in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2018Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: CSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Pierre Giraud, Bruce Rabinne, Yutaka Kataoka

Patent number: 11577888Abstract: A cap and container assembly includes a container having a base and a side wall extending upward from the base. The base and the side wall define an interior, and the side wall defines an opening leading to the interior. A cap moves with respect to the container between an opened position in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position in which the cap covers the opening. A tab projects outward from the cap and has a bottom surface. A spacer projects from the container side wall at a location beneath the tab when the assembly is in the closed position. The spacer bends inward towards the container in response to application of a sufficient force, to move from a locked position that blocks the bottom surface of the tab, to an unlocked position to expose at least a portion of the bottom surface of the tab.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: CSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Pierre Giraud, Herve Pichot, John Belfance, Mark Ostrowski, Michael Bucholtz, Joseph W.

Patent number: 11518078Abstract: Disclosed are an entrained polymer or an entrained polymer composition, and a method for forming and adhering an entrained polymer structure to a substrate using the entrained polymer or an entrained polymer composition. The method includes providing a substrate configured to receive application of a molten entrained polymer. A particulate entrained polymer in molten form is applied in a predetermined shape, to a surface of the substrate, to form a solidified entrained polymer structure on the substrate. The entrained polymer includes a monolithic material formed of at least a base polymer and a particulate active agent. The surface of the substrate is compatible with the molten entrained polymer so as to thermally bond with it. In this way, the entrained polymer bonds to the substrate and solidifies upon sufficient cooling of the entrained polymer.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: CSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gary Peters, Jonathan R.
