  • Patent number: 11342767
    Abstract: A multi-voltage charging terminal access port includes at least one housing, a first charging terminal within the housing and configured to receive a first charging voltage, a second charging terminal within the housing and configured to receive a second charging voltage that is different from the first charging voltage, a first movable cover plate mounted within the housing, the first movable cover plate including a first access hole and being movable between a first position in which the first access hole is laterally offset from the first charging terminal to obstruct access to the first charging terminal and a second position in which the first access hole is aligned with the first charging terminal to allow access to the first charging terminal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6698888
    Abstract: A subjective ophthalmic refractor of a type comprising a ring-shaped cylinder power scale having an internal gear actuated by a scale drive gear connected to a cylinder power adjustment knob of the refractor is improved by providing a bearing insert within the cylinder power scale. The bearing insert includes radially and axially facing annular bearing surfaces extending about a substantial portion of the scale, and a cut-out region allowing space necessary for the scale drive gear.

  • Patent number: 6692128
    Abstract: A subjective ophthalmic refractor comprises a cylinder power adjustment knob for simultaneously actuating a cylinder power scale and an indexable lens carrier drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a gear phasing hub designed to allow a scale marking to be centered in a display window of the refractor and components of the drive assembly to be set in proper rotational orientation as independent operations.
