Patent number: 5620097Abstract: A protective packaging system that will house a fragile object during transport or mailing without using bulky packaging materials. The package is essentially flat and conforms in overall dimensions to a standard mailing envelope while providing heightened protection for the object contained therein. The protective packaging system includes an envelope and a receptacle received within the envelope for the transport of generally thin, flat, flexible, yet fragile goods. In accordance with a presently preferred embodiment, the protective packaging system is designed to safely transport medical test specimens such as dried blood spots (DBSs) or other dried bodily fluids borne by a test card constructed as a flexible substrate. The envelope and receptacle combination are flexible enough to pass through the automated equipment of the United States Postal Service (or other carrier service) yet rigid enough to withstand the handling encountered in the mails so as to avoid damage to the package's contents.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1994Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: Ortho Pharmaceutical CorporationInventors: Dicky D. Timmons, II, E. Hubbard Yonkers

Patent number: 5597497Abstract: A switch mechanism with a safety member for operating a tool or a weapon which reduces the probability of inadvertent operation. The switch mechanism comprises a trigger and a safety member disposed adjacent to the trigger for preventing the trigger from contacting an actuation switch. The safety member is shaped such that when it is positioned in a first position, it prevents the trigger from contacting the switch. In addition, the safety member is shaped such that when the safety member is positioned in a second position, it allows the trigger to contact the actuation switch.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1994Date of Patent: January 28, 1997Assignee: Hypertherm, Inc.Inventors: James C. Dean, Robert C. Dean, Jr., E. Hubbard Yonkers

Patent number: 5144323Abstract: An emergency vessel or vehicle location system (EVLS) is provided with a protected mayday switch for controlling the transceiver or module to which it is attached, so as to permit activation of the emergency vessel location system by use of a switch, in one embodiment, on the same microphone used for two-way communication. The protection of the mayday switch is provided by a specialized transparent latch in which the latch is spring loaded over the mayday switch such that accidental depression of the mayday switch is prevented, while permitting viewing of the switch legend through the transparent latch. The protected switch may be used on the microphone, on an auxiliary unit, or on the transceiver itself.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 1991Date of Patent: September 1, 1992Assignee: Tendler Technologies, Inc.Inventor: E. Hubbard Yonkers

Patent number: 5030968Abstract: An enclosure (10) for a device (86) for recording information onto a strip of printing medium (14) is disclosed, and includes a base (11), forming a cavity (84), and first and second covers (12, 13) pivotally secured to the base. The first and second covers move opposedly to each other between open and closed positions to allow replacement of the printing meduim, which is wound onto a spool. The base and a printhead (16) are pivotally coupled to the first cover by cover and printhead links (30, 58), enabling the printhead to move with and remain covered by the first cover when the enclosure is opened. A drive roller (17) is rotatably secured to the second cover and is biased against the printhead for advancement of the printing medium when the enclosure is closed. When the second cover pivots to its open position, the roller is withdrawn from the base, but remains continuously engaged to a drive motor (18) by a series of gears.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1988Date of Patent: July 9, 1991Inventors: James A. Benson, Gregory S. Baletsa, E. Hubbard Yonkers

Patent number: 4950013Abstract: A gardening trowel is provided to permit easy loosening of earth around plants and the like through the utilization of a handle which is substantially offset from the center line of the trowel to simultaneously provide a pushing post and a lever arm such that the heel of the palm is utilized to press the point of the trowel into the earth. This same offset handle is utilized along with an asymmetric trowel blade to permit easy rotation of the blade, such that upon insertion, the trowel may be rotated by the side or heel of the hand due to the lever arm provided by the offset handle, so as to easily rotate the blade even after insertion of the blade into packed, hardened earth.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1988Date of Patent: August 21, 1990Inventor: E. Hubbard Yonkers

Patent number: 4496147Abstract: Apparatus which simulates the exercise obtained while climbing stairs includes two hydraulically phased steps retained in adjacent inclined tracks in which the steps are supported in a hydraulically open-ended system, with the phasing of the steps being controlled by a pair of in-line hydraulic actuators, one each associated with a step, in which fluid forced from one actuator with a downward movement of the associated step is channeled through a variable restricted orifice to the other actuator to raise the other step. In one lightweight, compact embodiment, the device is collapsed down to a compact size through the use of steps which are foldable to the track, and through the use of a track foldable to the frame. In its open position the lower portion of the frame props up the track at an appropriate climbing angle, with upper portions of the frame extending above the track to serve as handles positioned above the center of travel of the steps.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1982Date of Patent: January 29, 1985Assignee: Arthur D. Little, Inc.Inventors: Richard J. DeCloux, Herbert H. Loeffler, James S. MacConkey, E. Hubbard Yonkers
