Patent number: 11723811Abstract: A low-elastic compression garment includes a central main portion and multiple straps that extend laterally from the central main portion. Notches may be provided where the straps meet the central main portion, and may be formed into the central main portion adjacent to respective straps. With the notches, when the compression garment is in a wrapped position, lateral edges of adjacent straps that are associated with the notches overlap without gaps or bunching of the strap material. The compression garment may include distal and proximal counter pull tabs that extend from opposite edges of the central main portion. When the distal and proximal counter pull tabs are pulled by the user, pulling forces are transmitted in opposing directions to tension the straps. A removable fastening tab is provided respectively at ends of each of the straps.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: JULIUS ZORN, INC.Inventors: Greg Biddulph, Carla J.

Patent number: 11602462Abstract: A compression garment includes a main body including a central portion and a plurality of straps that extend from the central portion. The central portion has a lateral edge having first regions from which the straps extend from the central portion, and second regions from which the straps do not extend. A connecting portion is fixed to the main body and is fixed to at least a portion of the second regions. The straps are moveable to reverse the compression garment between a first state and a second state. The straps may be moveable around the connecting portion, or may be feedable through the connecting portion, to reverse the compression garment between the first state and the second state. The connecting portion and the main body may define a plurality of slits through which the straps are insertable to reverse the compression garment.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Julius Zorn, Inc.Inventors: Greg Biddulph, Carla J.

Publication number: 20210186552Abstract: A method of treating or cleaning a wound bed is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a wound-care device. The wound-care device includes a handle and a head monolithically formed with a first end of the handle and extending away from the first end of the handle. The head includes a base and a plurality of projections monolithically formed with the base and extending away from the base. During use of the wound-care device, a user may manually disturb a wound bed of a patient by placing one or more projections of the plurality of projections in contact with the wound bed and manually moving, while the one or more projections are in contact with the wound bed, the wound-care device with respect to the wound bed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: Wade P.

Publication number: 20200107968Abstract: A low-elastic wrapped compression garment includes a main body including a central portion and a plurality of straps that extend from the central portion; the central portion including a lateral edge, the lateral edge having first regions from which the straps extend from the central portion, and second regions from which the straps do not extend; and a connecting portion that is fixed to the main body, the connecting portion being fixed to at least a portion of the second regions. The straps are moveable relative to the connecting portion to reverse the compression garment between a first state and a second state. The straps may be moveable around the connecting portion, or may be feedable through the connecting portion, to reverse the compression garment between the first state and the second state. The connecting portion and the main body may define a plurality of slits through which the straps are insertable to reverse the compression garment between the first state and the second state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2018Publication date: April 9, 2020Inventors: Greg Biddulph, Carla J.

Patent number: 7931386Abstract: A flexible lighting strip includes an insulated flexible electrical power cord and spaced apart modules connected therewith. Each module includes a circuit board with a cavity, indentation, or opening and an encasing overmolding defining a fastener-receiving slot or opening aligned with the cavity, indentation, or opening of the circuit board. Power cord conductors are separated at the connection with each module to define a gap receiving a portion of the circuit board. A separate tiedown is secured to the power cord. Conductive elements receiving electrical power from the power cord and delivering electrical power to the circuit board include an insulation-displacing portion and a recess receiving at least a portion of the power cord and including a retaining barb or hook. An adhesive tape or strip is disposed over at least one overmolding opening to prevent water ingress to the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2007Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: GE Lighting Solutions, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Nall, Tomislav Stimac, Chenyang Li, Chunmei Gao, Babi Koushik Saha, Shanshan Xie, Douglas R.

Patent number: 7275729Abstract: Apparatus and method for a combined bottle and towel holder that can be removably attached to a variety of support structures such as are extant in an exercise or fitness room; and slip-resistant releasably self-adhering straps for the removable attachment. A bottle holding portion is an open topped receptacle, and a towel holding portion is an upward opening hook on the receptacle sidewall, optionally movably located relative to the location of the receptacle attachment to the support structure. The holder is removably attachable to a frame member in a way that substantially vertically orients the longitudinal axis of the receptacle, wherein the frame member is a bar of no particular cross-sectional shape, and is preferably upstanding but is oriented such that the bar's long axis is vertical, horizontal or at an angle between horizontal and vertical. The holder is also removably attachable to a vertical surface such as a wall.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: B + D Specialty Concepts, Inc.Inventors: Bruce A.
