Patent number: 8746508Abstract: A dispensing apparatus for mixing and dispensing multi-component masses including a multi-component cartridge or syringe having a plurality of chambers, a mixer element having a longitudinal axis and a mixer housing placed over the mixer element. The outer surface of the mixer element and the inner wall of the mixer housing have a cooperating guide element which only allows a displacement of the mixer housing at the mixer element along the longitudinal axis of the mixer element. The mixer housing is axially displaceably connected to the multi-component cartridge. The mixer housing and the mixer element are displaceable against one another in an axial direction in the closed and dispensing positions. A rotary element, the mixer housing and the multi-component cartridge have a cooperating interaction element in which the rotary element rotates such that an axial relative movement results between the mixer housing and the multi-component cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Sulzer Mixpac AGInventor: Andreas Staub

Patent number: 7934864Abstract: The invention relates to a multicomponent foil-type container comprising a first chamber (5) for accommodating a first component, at least one second chamber (5?) for accommodating a second component, a discharge duct (6) that can be connected to said chambers (5, 5?), deflection elements (11) for mixing the components within the discharge duct (6), and a seal (12; 12?; 21; 25, 25?; 36, 36?) which prevents the components from being mixed before being used and can be opened for discharging the components. The deflection elements (11) of the inventive multicomponent foil-type container are disposed on a separate mixing element (9) that is located in the discharge duct (6) such that the multicomponent foil-type container is easy to produce while allowing different components to be mixed in a particularly effectively manner. The invention further relates to a device for squeezing a multicomponent foil-type container in a particularly effective fashion.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2005Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Sulzer Mixpac AGInventors: Rolf Heusser, Markus Gasser, Andreas Staub

Patent number: 7628675Abstract: An article of women's apparel that includes an outer garment and a bra. The bra is primarily internal to the outer garment. However, there is a reveal region that shows a portion of the bra. In one arrangement, the reveal region is formed by a pair of slits in a front shoulder region of the outer garment and portion of the bra which is revealed is a shoulder strap portion. This region is formed by routing the shoulder strap of the bra through the successive slits. In one arrangement, the outer garment is sleeveless and the reveal region is asymmetrical. A benefit of this arrangement is that a purchaser can determine the presence and type of support without having to approach and perform a detailed inspection of the garment.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2005Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventor: AnDrea Staub

Patent number: 6375215Abstract: An airbag arrangement comprising: an airbag; a housing (1), formed of plastics material, for containing the airbag in a deflated, folded condition; a cover (5), formed of flexible material, and attached to the airbag housing (1) by a seal around a substantial portion of the periphery of the housing (1). The seal may be by heat or pressure sensitive glue, by ultrasonic or vibration welding or by deformable lugs (9). This arrangement is cheaper to produce and quicker to assemble, and has the advantage of being generally tamper-proof, since any tampering with the package will be immediately evident from detachment of the cover or tears therein.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1999Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Breed Automotive Technology, Inc.Inventors: Hubert Rene Ross, Andreas Staub, Frank Sauberlich, Matthias Volkmann, Dirk Roosen
