  • SAFETY GLASSES DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170065019
    Abstract: An eyewear system having a lens and a nasion pad is disclosed. The nasion pad is configured to fit on a user's nasion and at least partially secure the eyewear in position. In one embodiment, the nasion pad has a saddle shape to prevent movement or rotation of the eyewear with respect to the user's face. A nose contact is coupled to the nasion pad. The nose contact can have a channel adapted to receive a leg extending from the lens. The lens is coupled to a retractor which provides a force to pull the lens toward the user's face. The eyewear system can be coupled to a helmet or hard hat. The lens is moveable between a first position on the user's face and a second position on the hard hat. The eyewear can be frameless and the retractor can be coupled to an engagement feature on the lens.

  • Repositionable fluid suction devices
    Patent number: 9451854
    Abstract: A repositionable fluid suction device is disclosed. The device includes a central body and a suction channel located on an underside of the central body extending at least partially around a periphery of the central body. A rim extends downward from the central body, and may define a portion of the suction channel. A fluid collection trough extends at least partially around the periphery of the central body to collect fluids that fall on the upper surface of the central body. The outermost peripheral edge of the suction device may comprise at least one concave portion extending radially inward toward the central body.

  • Floor mat
    Patent number: 9309657
    Abstract: A moppable floor mat is disclosed comprising a plurality of layers sharing a common peripheral boundary, the layers including an adhesive layer, a liquid impermeable layer, a high-traction layer, and a liquid absorbent layer. The adhesive layer is configured to be releasably adhered to a floor and capable of being mopped over without causing a movement of the moppable floor mat relative to a surface of the floor. The moppable floor mat further comprises a seal formed adjacent the peripheral boundary of the plurality of layers, wherein the seal is configured to form a fluid-tight barrier preventing liquids from exiting through the seal from the moppable floor mat.
