  • Publication number: 20220136281
    Abstract: Various implementations of the invention are directed toward a sanitizing door handle and/or components of such sanitizing door handle that sanitizes the door handle during use. Various implementations of the invention are directed toward a gravity-fed sanitizing door handle and/or components of such sanitizing door handle. Various implementations of the invention are directed to a hand sanitizing dispenser that dispenses a fluid, such as a sanitizing fluid, onto hand(s) of a user when the user operates or otherwise engages a door handle, such as, but not limited to, the sanitizing door handles discussed above. In some implementations of the invention, the fluid is dispensed directly onto the hands of the user. In some implementations of the invention, the fluid is dispensed through dispensers and onto the hands of the user through contact with the dispensers.

  • Publication number: 20220023650
    Abstract: A resuscitation device includes a first resuscitation unit configured to perform a first resuscitation function and having front and back sides. A second resuscitation unit is configured to perform a second resuscitation function, which is different from the first resuscitation function, and includes front and rear sides. The first and second resuscitation units are configured so as to be assembled together as a single assembly such that the first and second resuscitation units can be carried conjointly for selectively performing at least one of the first and second functions. An adaptor is also provided for connecting a defibrillator to a plurality of different electrode pads.

  • Publication number: 20210278698
    Abstract: A slip-resistant eyewear system comprising a nose pad comprising a securing member configured to couple to a portion of an eyewear frame and a flap pivotally coupled to the securing member, wherein an angle formed between the securing member and the flap is an acute angle. Implementations of a flap-style nose pad may comprise a pocket configured to house a preexisting eyewear nose pad therein. Other implementations of the nose pad may be configured to adhere to a preexisting eyewear frame. Use of a higher durometer and material and a lower durometer material to form the nose pads allows for a custom fit to accommodate wearers of varying facial topography avoid slippage of the eyewear system.

  • Publication number: 20210109373
    Abstract: An eyewear system comprising an eyewear frame comprising a first side bow component and a second side bow component, an auxiliary frame comprising an auxiliary top bar, an auxiliary first side bow component and an auxiliary second side bar component, the auxiliary first side bow component and the auxiliary second side bow component pivotally coupled to the first side bow component and the second side bow component, respectively. The system further comprises a declination angle adjuster positioned proximal a bridge of the eyewear frame, the declination angle adjuster comprising a rotatable member therein, and a vertical extension member extending from the eyewear frame and at least partially into the declination angle adjuster, the vertical extension member configured to engage the rotatable member within the declination angle adjuster.

  • Publication number: 20210109372
    Abstract: An anti-slip eyewear system comprising a nosepiece configured to couple to a bridge of an eyewear frame, the nosepiece comprising a core comprised of a first material and an outer layer at least partially surrounding or overlapping the core and comprised of a second material, the second material having a lower durometer than the first material, wherein the second material creates a plurality of Schallamach waves on an outer surface of the nosepiece when the outer layer of the nosepiece is in contact with at least a portion of a face of a user. The first material may have a durometer greater than about Shore 40A on the Shore A hardness scale and the second material may have a durometer less than about Shore 40A on the Shore A hardness scale.
