Patent number: 10906103Abstract: A composite material comprising a metal matrix and nanocellulose supplement. The metal matrix is formed of a metal base material and may be monolithic throughout the composite material. The nanocellulose supplement improves a material property of the metal matrix and is formed of a nanocellulose supplement material dispersed in the metal base material. Importantly, the nanocellulose supplement material does not become damaged when the composite material is formed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLCInventors: Wesley Everhart, Benjamin Brown, Dan Bowen

Patent number: 8096444Abstract: A product discharge and delivery system for a vending machine includes a product delivery cup including a carriage portion and a shroud portion having an open bottom section and a discharge element. After receiving a selected product, the product delivery cup is shifted toward a dispensing chamber causing the discharge element to engage with a discharge member mounted within the vending machine. Engagement of the discharge element and discharge member causes the shroud portion to pivot relative to the carrier portion exposing the open bottom section allowing a selected product to release into a dispensing chamber. A delivery port is mounted in the dispensing chamber that rotated between a product receiving position and a product delivery position.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2010Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Crane Merchandising Systems, Inc.Inventors: John P. Ardern, Dan Bowen, Paul Miller, Charles Wayne Percy, Kevin A. Poyck, Denise Schmidt

Patent number: 7784644Abstract: A vending machine includes first and second integrated dispensing systems mounted at front portions of adjacent product shelf dividers establishing at least first, second and third product queues. Each of the first and second dispensing systems includes first and second release mechanisms having a plurality of hinged plates supported by a frame. The plurality of hinged plates are selectively shifted into and out of corresponding ones of the first, second and third product queues, such that each product queue has associated therewith two opposing release mechanisms. Preferably, at least one of the first and second release mechanisms for each dispensing system includes a queue spacing member which is mounted to one of the hinged plates and projects into the product queue to establish a desired spacing between the release mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Dixie-Narco, Inc.Inventors: Richard T. Albert, Dan Bowen, Bryan Alan Collins, Aron Phillip Lewis, Paul Miller, Charles Wayne Percy, John Robinson, William E. Roe, Russell Watts

Publication number: 20070039844Abstract: A sharps container having an integrated scalpel blade disarming device (200) includes an aperture (209) formed in the side wall of the container (200). A first pushing tab (217) and second pushing tab (219) are used for providing a force to the scalpel blade (101). A notch (221) is formed between the first pushing tab (217) and second pushing tab (219) for providing a channel for the scalpel handle (103). A removal tab (223) is used for contacting a rear portion (215) of the scalpel blade (101). The invention allows the scalpel blade (101) to be easily disengaged from the scalpel handle (103) by applying both a side force and rearward force to the scalpel handle (103) where the scalpel blade (101) is engaged with the first pushing tab (217), second pushing tab (219) and removal tab (223).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2006Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventors: Mark Zyzelewski, Dan Bowen
