Patent number: 10065773Abstract: A container lid for a fluid container is formed of a flexible resilient material includes a body member having a drinking aperture and a valve. Upon application of a first force to an actuator region of the body member, the valve unseals the drinking aperture and upon removal of the first amount of pressure, the valve reseals the aperture. Upon the application of a second force to the actuator region that is greater than the first force, the valve engages a locking mechanism and the aperture remains unsealed upon removal of the applied second force. In a second embodiment first and second actuator regions are employed and the application of a force to the second actuator region secures the valve in an unsealed orientation.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: LIQUISTOP LLCInventors: Jack Seidler, Antonio F. Coloneri

Patent number: 9475626Abstract: A lid for use with a fluid container includes a body member and a valve. The body member defines an aperture and includes a central portion that extends to an outer periphery configured to couple to a rim of a fluid container. In one embodiment, the body member and the valve and connected by an interconnecting portion which are formed as an integral single piece structure. The valve has a first portion directly secured to the bottom surface of the body member and a second free end portion that extends from the first portion. The second free end portion includes a protuberance and is movable relative to the first portion between a free state in which the protuberance seals the aperture and a depressed state obtained in response to downward deflection of the central portion of the body member relative to the outer periphery in which the aperture is unsealed.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: LIQUISTOP LLCInventors: Antonio F.

Patent number: 7853300Abstract: A sliding mechanism includes two members, one of which is slidable with respect to the other along an axis. One of the members slides back and forth with respect to the other between a first position and a second position. A leaf spring is used as a positioning element to hold one of the members in either the first position or the second position. The leaf spring is attached to one of the two members and the other of the two members includes a projection. The leaf spring abuts the projection holding the slidable member in either the first position or the second position. When a user pushes one of the members from one position to another, the projection pushes the leaf spring out of the way until it passes an apex of the leaf spring and is held in the other position.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Interplex Nas, Inc.Inventor: Jack Seidler

Patent number: 7095626Abstract: An easily openable one-piece RF interference shield and method of manufacturing the same that is cost efficient and easily adapted for use with existing electrical devices. The RF shield having a plurality of interconnected sidewalls, a substantially open bottom region, and a hingeably connected top cover portion, having a top cover latch and disposed along the top edge of one of the sidewalls. The top cover portion of the shield is adapted to hinge toward another one of the sidewalls such that the top cover latch engages a hole disposed on the other sidewall being engaged and completing a protective enclosure about electrical components and preventing those components from causing electromagnetic interferences. The RF shield of the present invention allows for easy opening of the top cover portion to provide access to the enclosure for rework or repair of the electrical components covered by the shield, without having to unsolder the unit from a substrate containing the electrical components.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Interplex Nas Inc.Inventor: Jack Seidler

Publication number: 20060091121Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a method of reflowing a metal plated target area of a conductive contact is provided and includes the steps of: (1) providing a localized heat source, such as a laser; (2) positioning the contact relative to the localized heat source such that energy emitted by the localized heat source is focused on the plated target area of the conductive contact; and (3) operating the localized heat source and focusing the concentrated energy on the target area such that the metal plating in the target area is heated to a reflow temperature which is greater than a melting temperature of the metal plating so as to cause reflow of the metal plating. The use of the localized heat source (e.g., a laser) permits the reflow to be confined to the target area, while one or more adjacent areas are shielded from being heated to the reflow temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2005Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventors: James Zanolli, Jack Seidler, Joseph Cachina
