Patent number: 9387713Abstract: A removable print element assembly can be installed on and removed from a hand stamp without the user's fingers ever being in close proximity to the print element (die). The removable print element assembly can be installed on and removed from a hand printer without the need for a friction fit fastener or mechanical linking device. The removable print element assembly is provided for a hand printer with a support element capable of magnetic engagement. The removable print element assembly comprises a print carrier having a surface for removable magnetic engagement with the support element of the hand printer, a removal actuator, and a print element (die) affixed to the print carrier. The surface for removable magnetic engagement with the hand printer is a magnetic. The surface for removable magnetic engagement with the hand printer is the surface of a magnet fixed to the print carrier.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Sterling Marking Products Inc.Inventors: Bob Schram, Cameron Fink

Patent number: 6974082Abstract: An integrated marking system is described wherein means for marking or encoding information, preferably in the form of a plurality of machines, are linked and controlled in conjunction with means for processing information. Essentially, the means for processing information can be a software program, implemented via a single computer or a computer network. Likewise, the means for linking and controlling the aforementioned machines is possible via the software in conjunction with the same computer or network. Despite the numerous advantages provided by this system, this level of functionality and control was heretofore unseen in the marking industry.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2003Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Monode Marking Products, Inc.Inventor: Jonathan T. Mackey

Patent number: 6688792Abstract: A stacked marker is formed by stacking individual stackable markers where each stackable marker is a fully functional marker and each stackable marker can be selected for use and then reassembled to store the restackable marker. Each stackable marker is originally assembled as an otherwise ordinary marker, but with a temporary utility cap, which, upon being inserted into a rear receptacle in another marker, is left therein to form the permanent cap for other markers. When fully assembled, the stacked marker becomes a multi-unit final assembly that affords one the use of a plurality of different types of markers that are snapped together during non-use and taken apart to select individual markers during use.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2002Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Dri Mark Products, Inc.Inventors: Andre Reichmann, Mark Dobbs

Patent number: 6561713Abstract: An ink composition or system for writing instruments constructed with a polyester fiber reservoir and a porous oriented fiber nib. This ink system will write on both black and white surfaces. On black surfaces, it will reveal itself as being opaque and metallic almost iridescent in appearance. On white surfaces, a tint of color is observed with distinct flecks of silver. The ink system is composted of water as a carrier, a permanent water-based binder, a colored pigmented permanent water-based dispersion of sub-micron particle size, a unique aluminum dispersion of specific particle size in a special carrier, a humectant, a surfactant that lowers surface tension, an anti-settling additive, a preservative and a base acting as a pH adjuster.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2002Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Dri Mark Products, Inc.Inventors: Chhman Sukhna, Charles Reichmann

Patent number: 6324917Abstract: An air flow measurement device includes a connector conduit with a constant inner diameter wall for the air flow, a transverse restrictor plate located within the conduit with a plurality of generally uniformly spaced apertures extending therethrough, and an annular mounting piece secured centrally about the conduit for securely mounting a pair of air pipes to the opposite ends of the conduit in air-tight engagement therewith. The restrictor plate is maintained in the connector conduit by a swaging operation which causes it to be expanded outwardly into tight engagement with the conduit wall. A pair of tank valves are mounted, by a special saddle, to the mounting piece, and passages are provided through the mounting piece and conduit wall for communication with the interior of the conduit just upstream and downstream of the restrictor plate whereby a differential pressure meter may be connected to the valves to measure the difference in pressure to thereby determine the air flow rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1999Date of Patent: December 4, 2001Assignee: Mark Products, Inc.Inventors: Dean T. Mack, Edward R. McCourt, James T. Lindow

Patent number: 6009217Abstract: An optical fiber sensor for inducing a microbend in an optical fiber in the presence of the liquid phase as distinguished from the vapor phase of a fluid such as water. The sensor includes a chamber with an expansible block located therein, and a thin band is provided about the block of a dimension and tensile strength such that any increase in outward expansive force in the block due to an increase in the presence of the fluid in its vapor phase only will not cause the band to rupture; however, when any liquid enters the chamber, the band will rupture to allow the block to expand in a particular direction to move a pusher bar which, in turn, moves a puller wire to bend the fiber at a location remote from the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 1998Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: Mark Products, Inc.Inventors: James T. Lindow, Dean T. Mack, Edward R. McCourt, Jr.

Patent number: 5783747Abstract: A rigid cylinder is provided with small perforations to permit the entry of hydrocarbon containing liquids, gases or vapors, and the interior of the cylinder is lined with a sensor material which expands in the presence of hydrocarbons. The interior chamber enclosed by the sensor material is completely filled with an incompressible liquid, and one end of the chamber is sealed by a conventional pressure sensor so that the presence of hydrocarbons causes the sensor material to exert a pressure upon the incompressible liquid to create an output signal in the pressure sensor. A double-chambered device, with only one chamber being perforated and thereby exposed to the hydrocarbons, can be used to compensate the pressure sensor signal for ambient pressure or temperature changes.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1997Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: Mark Products, Inc.Inventors: James T. Lindow, Edward R. McCourt, Jr.

Patent number: 5757988Abstract: An optical fiber sensor for inducing a microbend in an optical fiber in the presence of a detectable fluid such as water includes a chamber with an expansible block located therein. When water enters the chamber, the block expands in a particular direction to move a pusher bar which, in turn, moves a puller wire to bend the fiber at a location remote from the chamber. A gap may initially be provided between the expansible block and the pusher bar so that the presence of water vapor within the chamber will not move the pusher bar but the presence of liquid water will.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1996Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: Mark Products, Inc.Inventors: James T. Lindow, Dean T. Mack, Edward R. McCourt, Jr.
