  • Patent number: 10669099
    Abstract: A roller system has a frame, a plurality of rollers (supported by the frame) forming a roller plane, and an external rotor motor (“motor”) spaced from the roller plane. As an external rotor motor, the motor has a stator and an external rotor radially outward of the stator to substantially circumscribe the stator. To kinetically couple the motor with the rollers, the system also has a transmission coupling coupled with the external rotor and at least one of the rollers. The transmission coupling and external rotor are configured so that rotation of the external rotor causes the at least one roller to rotate in response to a torque received through the transmission coupling.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090190298
    Abstract: A memory stick cover is configured to be used by a consumer for receiving and protecting the connector of a memory stick when the memory stick is being transported and otherwise not in use. The memory stick cover is removable from the connector end and placed over the opposite end of the memory stick when the memory stick is connected to a computer. The memory stick cover of the present invention is somewhat of a novelty item as it may be configured of a moldable material such as rubber. Alternatively, it may consist of a hard-covered material with a rubber or other pliable material insert, the insert being configured to receive and protect the male connector of the memory stick.
