  • Patent number: 11389591
    Abstract: A remote delivery device is provided which has media portholes in a sidewall, a tail piece attached to a rear end and a cannula attached to a front end. The body contains a plunger assembly which defines an injectable liquid chamber and a marking media chamber. The plunger assembly includes a front barbell plunger, rear barbell plunger and a plunger shaft with an O-Ring seated between the front and rear of said plunger shaft. The body also contains a single internal charge positioned behind the plunger assembly. When the charge is activated, the plunger assembly is thrust forwardly and dispenses an injectable liquid from the injectable liquid chamber through the cannula. Simultaneously, the plunger assembly also dispenses a marking media from the marking media chamber through marking media portholes. The provision of a single internal charge allows for a reduction in the length and weight of the device.

  • Patent number: 9234729
    Abstract: An improved injection dart is disclosed. A flow restrictor positioned at a forward end of a dart body is provided. The flow restrictor has a generally cylindrical restrictor body portion and a radially outward extending flange portion at a forward end thereof. The flange is securely held in position. The restrictor body also having a recess in a rearward end. The flange portion holds said restrictor in a position where an inner bore of a cannula is precisely aligned with the restrictor bore. The restrictor acts to diminish a variable flow rate so that all flow rates above a maximum flow rate are restricted to be less than the maximum flow rate. The flange also keeps a forward end of the flow channel bore open but allows for radially inward deformation of the restrictor at a rear end of said flow channel bore.

The system includes a plurality of telephone instruments respectively having a telephone identifier and a wallet card swipe reader or the like for inputting a user identifier. A plurality of user actuators, such as individual buttons, are located on the telephone instrument to initiate a request for a particular transaction. A system processor in communication with the telephone instrument determines which type of transaction is being requested and determines whether the request is valid. Preferably, the validity check is completely performed at a gateway computer having a validity table in its memory corresponding to the particular telephone instrument.

  • Patent number: 4717384
    Abstract: A pneumatic hypodermic syringe pole of first and second axially connected hollow tubes joined by a coupling cylinder supporting an axially slidable valve member including a hollow valve stem adapted to sealingly engage opening within the end of a hollow syringe body whose opposite end carries a needle. A plunger within the syringe separates the body interior into a drug injection chamber communicating with the needle and a second chamber capable of receiving gas under pressure for driving the plunger to displace a drug from the injection chamber. The first hollow tube operates as a handle for manual grasping and forms a pressurized gas storage compartment open to the axially displaceable valve member. The syringe is axially shiftable internally of the second hollow tube forming a syringe holder with the valve stem being positioned in the path of movement of the axially displaceable syringe.

  • Patent number: 4005797
    Abstract: A molded plastic card file drawer having a bottom wall, two side walls, a back wall, and a front wall. A rib extends along the upper edge of each side wall, the ribs projecting toward each other and being spaced apart a distance equal to the length of the cards with which the drawer is to be used. A support for cards within the drawer has end pieces each slidably arranged between one of the ribs and the drawer bottom wall. A space is provided between the front end of each rib and the drawer front wall to permit the support end pieces to pass through as the support is being inserted into the drawer. The front wall and support have aligned holes for accommodating a bar which passes through similar holes in the cards. The support may be locked in different selected positions along the length of the drawer.
