Patent number: 11850404Abstract: A manually actuated drug-injecting device is configured such that the grip strength of the entire hand (i.e., majority of fingers closing toward the palm or heel of the hand) is employed to discharge medication through a hypodermic needle and into a patient's body. The device is well suited for delivering medications with high viscosity and/or by patients (e.g., elderly patients) with reduced finger strength and dexterity. The device includes a grip member, a push member (which causes the medication to be injected), and a force-transfer mechanism that couples the grip member to the push member. Suitably, the device is configured to be held transverse to the palm of the medication-administering hand, with a discharge port located by the outer, blade edge of the administering hand, when the device is being gripped to administer medication.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLCInventors: Peter A. Basile, Henry J. Mack, Jr., Oliver Sha, Stephen G. Miggels

Patent number: 9692155Abstract: A dual conductive electrical jumper clamp system has two jumper clamps, each jumper clamp having upper and lower clamp frames and an electrical conductive contact plate positioned within each frame. An electrical conductive sleeve is positioned between the contact plates. In this manner, electricity is transmitted from an electric power source to only one of the contact plates, then solely to the other contact plate via the conductive sleeve, and ultimately to electrical terminal attaching jaw members at the ends of the contact plates.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Paris Business Products, Inc.Inventors: Gerard M Toscani, Henry J. Mack, Jr., Oliver Sha

Publication number: 20100263665Abstract: An apparatus for counting doses of a dispenser (12) is provided which includes a housing (14) for releasably attaching to the dispenser; and, a dose counter (30) operatively connected to the housing. The dose counter displays indicia relating to doses of the dispenser. The dose counter may be manually adjusted or configured to be automatically adjusted to permit counting of the number of times the housing is separated from the dispenser. The number of separations will indicate the number of doses administered by the dispenser. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a dose counter is provided which counts doses separately from the actuation of the dispenser/ With the dose counter being separate from the dispenser, the dose counter may be reused with a plurality of dispensers. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the invention may apply to various dispensers, but is particularly well-suited for use with inhalers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: October 21, 2010Inventors: Scott Brown, Aleksandr Zuyev, Stephen Miggels, Henry J. Mack, JR., Mikhail Gotliboym, In-Young Jang
