  • Patent number: 10974083
    Abstract: The inflatable harness assembly for an aircraft oxygen crew mask includes one or more inflatable tubes having an outer layer of fabric material with an airtight coating for inflating the inflatable harness assembly. The inflatable tubes include an inner core of resilient, elastic material fixedly connected between first and second ends of the inflatable tubes that biases the inflatable tubes to shorten when the tubes are deflated. Inflation of the tubes them to expand the outer layer of material radially outwardly and lengthen axially, to allow the harness assembly to be placed over the user's head. Deflation of the tubes causes the aircraft inflatable harness assembly to grip the user's head with a desired head tension.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6631888
    Abstract: A fragrance dispenser includes a container for holding and exposing a fragrance material, and a housing defined by at least one elongated shell and a cap including an elongated slider. Each elongated shell is slideably engageable with the elongated slider. The housing includes an air discharge opening on the cap, and a power source mounted therein for providing power to a motor, which is operably connected to drive a fan. The fan is operable to increase flow of air over the fragrance material, to dispense fragrance from within the housing, through the air discharge opening, to an exterior of the housing. When the at least one elongated shell is engaged to the cap, the power source supplies power to the motor to drive the fan, and when the at least one elongated shell is disengaged from the cap, power from the power source to the motor is discontinued.

  • Patent number: 6402054
    Abstract: An airless squeeze bottle sprayer comprised of a tube retainer, an orifice cup and a closure. The tube retainer has a product outlet port, a post, and at least one tangential apertures through which fluid is expelled from within the container. The orifice cup has an annular mixing or turbulence chamber wherein the fluid from within the container is mixed up before being expelled out of the orifice cup through a discharge orifice. A dip tube depends from the tube retainer and defines a path for the fluid from the bottom of the container to the annular mixing chamber. When the container is squeezed, fluid is forced up through the dip tube into the mixing chamber and out of the container through the discharge orifice in the orifice cup. Any air that is introduced into the container and expelled out of the container is done so through the same path as the fluid, the sprayer lacks any distinct or separate air ports.

  • Patent number: 6250568
    Abstract: A squeeze bottle atomizer comprised of a tube retainer having a product outlet port in a conical shaped central post through which fluid is expelled from within the container. A plurality of air inlet ports are located adjacent the central post and allow air to be forced and sucked out of the container when squeezed as well as return and be sucked into the interior of the container when the container is released. The orifice cup has an annular mixing or turbulence chamber wherein the air and the fluid from within the container are mixed before being expelled out of the orifice cup through a discharge orifice. The axis of the product outlet port is coincident with the axis of the discharge orifice. A dip tube depends from the tube retainer and defines a path for the fluid from the bottom of the container to the annular mixing chamber.
