  • Patent number: 7229579
    Abstract: A method of making a sponge device is provided. This method includes introducing a curable liquid sponge forming material into a form, placing a handle into the material before it is fully cured, heating the form to cure the material, removing the cured material from the form, and rinsing the cured material. Another aspect of the present invention is the assembly for making this sponge device. This assembly includes a runner for joining a plurality of handles, plates that are spring-biased together to support the handles, a chase formed of heat conductive metal having a shelf where the plates can be set, and a silicone form having a plurality of cavities therein for receiving the sponge forming material.

  • Patent number: 6540706
    Abstract: A splint product for forming a hard structure about a body portion is provided. The splint product includes a unitary assembly of moisture-impervious outer and inner layers with an outer substrate layer, a resin impregnated substrate that hardens when exposed to moisture, and an inner substrate layer disposed between these moisture-impervious layers. Padding is adhered to the moisture-impervious inner layer opposite said resin impregnated substrate so that the padding is in contact with a patient's skin. Another aspect of the present invention is a method for activating the splint product by exposing the outer substrate layer and/or the resin impregnated substrate to moisture. This may be done by removing the moisture-impervious outer layer and spraying water on the outer substrate layer or by holding the moisture-impervious inner and outer layers together to form a pouch and pouring water into this pouch.

  • Patent number: 5607387
    Abstract: A splint product is used for forming a hard structure about a body portion. The product includes a substrate impregnated with a resin that hardens when exposed to water. A protective water-impervious envelope surrounds the substrate and shields the substrate from exposure to moisture in the atmosphere. An outer cushioning wrap surrounds the protective envelope and is for engaging the body portion. Prior to wetting of the splint product, the protective envelope is removed from its shielding position about the substrate so that the substrate remains inside the outer wrap. The outer wrap with the substrate therein is exposed to water and applied to an appropriate body portion about which it hardens.

  • Patent number: 5245956
    Abstract: A reed valve assembly includes a two ported base member adapted for placement within a fuel/air supply of an engine. The base has a reed cage with first and second reed cage faces defined on the downstream face such that the faces of the reed cage define an upright V opening downstream relative to the base. Reed petals cover openings in the reed cage faces and prevent back flow from the downstream side to the upstream side of the valve assembly. Flow from the upstream side to the downstream side is accomplished by the reed petals flexing towards one another. The reed petals are held in place by a clamping bar, which allows adjustment of the flexing tension for fine tuning of valve operation.

  • Patent number: 5170909
    Abstract: An air seed meter which dispenses individual seeds supplied by a seed hopper into a furrow at a controlled rate as the meter and others like it are advanced over the ground has a generally cylindrical housing containing a rotatable seed disk. As the seed disk is rotated past a mass of seeds on one side thereof, a plurality of seed cells formed by recesses in the surface of the seed disk at one or more circumferential rows of holes adjacent the outer periphery of the seed disk mechanically accelerate and eventually capture therein individual seeds from the seed mass. The individual seeds are held within the cells by a pressure differential created by a vacuum source coupled to the inside of the housing on the opposite side of the seed disk until the cells reach a discharge area. At the discharge area, the effects of the vacuum are cut off so as to release the individual seeds from the cells for discharge through a chute at the bottom of the housing to a seed furrow below.

  • Patent number: 4664290
    Abstract: In a seed meter in which a seed disk is rotatably mounted within a housing, a method and apparatus are provided for positioning the seed disk within the housing so that the peripheral portion of the seed disk is located a desired, relatively uniform distance from an adjacent peripheral portion of the housing. A shaft having a threaded outer portion is rotatably mounted within the housing and a hub having a threaded aperture therein is positioned on and turned relative to the threaded outer portion of the shaft to begin advancing the threaded aperture onto the shaft. The seed disk is then mounted on the hub, following which rotation of the hub relative to the shaft is continued in a direction to advance the hub along the shaft toward the housing until a gap of desired size exists between the peripheral portion of the seed disk and the peripheral portion of the housing.

  • Patent number: 4271307
    Abstract: The invention relates to bichromophoric benzotriazole-benzoxazole compounds which have been found to be effective ultraviolet stabilizers. The invention also relates to ultraviolet degradable organic compositions containing a stabilizing amount of the bichromophoric composition to prevent such degradation. These stabilizers are effective in the presence of other additives commonly employed in polymeric compositions including, for example, pigments, colorants, fillers, reinforcing agents and the like. These ultraviolet stabilizers may also be incorporated into the organic compositions in the polymer melt or dissolved in the polymer dope, coated on the exterior of the molded article, film or extruded fiber.
