  • Patent number: 10214227
    Abstract: A foot lever assist mechanism permits transport dollies to be more heavily loaded, saving the worker additional trips to deliver the entire supply. The lever assist may be configured to move from dolly to dolly, being secured by a pair of thumb screws or welded in place, secured to the axle. An auxiliary feature of this lever assist is the provision of a telescoping ladder-like extender and an extra long base which maximizes the advantage this foot lever assist mechanism provides.

  • Publication number: 20130205807
    Abstract: A beverage cooler has a low voltage DC supply (311) usable by the controller ancillaries, such as lighting (318), the DC supply also providing the supply voltage to a microprocessor (313) which electronically commutates at least one of the motors (305, 306, 307) associated with beverage cooling to provide a required speed or loading. The microprocessor also responds to and controls the cooler ancillaries, such as lighting, temperature and status reporting thereby allowing a reduced component count.

  • Publication number: 20070276008
    Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations suitable for intravenous injection comprising a lyophilized anti-ulcerative agent reconstituted in isotonic solutions suitable for intravenous administration, such as 5% dextrose or 0.9% sodium chloride. The solutions are brought to a pH of between about 9 and about 12, preferably between about pH 10 and 11, by a glycine-sodium hydroxide buffer. Such formulations are chemically and physically stable, and do not significantly change color, for at least between about 6 and about 12 hours at room temperature, and are stable to color change for from between about 24 and 48 hours if kept at 5° C.

  • Patent number: 6074630
    Abstract: A delivery system for sunscreen products that applies a dry, waterproof sunscreen composition to the skin. The delivery system for suncare products of the present invention is designed to apply only the required amount of sunscreen composition to the skin without excess. The sunscreen composition is applied to an article such as paper, nonwoven cloth or porous plastic which is subsequently rubbed onto the skin. Alternatively, the sunscreen may take the form of a wafer or a bar with or without a support article. A delivery system for suncare products which include dihydroxyacetone in order to produce a semi-permanent color that gives the appearance of a natural suntan is described which utilizes the same self-leveling principle as the delivery system for suncare products containing sunscreen compositions.

  • Patent number: 5547471
    Abstract: A receptacle (500) is provided for coupling an adaptor (10) having a vial (54) including a beneficial agent to an IV administration set (526). In an embodiment, the receptacle (500) includes an injection site (512) for receiving a cannula (26) from the adaptor (10). A resilient divider (516) separates the receptacle (500) into two sections defined by an upper fitment (508) and a lower fitment (510). A container (520) holding a solution is in fluid communication with the receptacle (500) via an inlet (502). A through bore (518) allows the solution from the container (520) to pass through the resilient divider (516) when the adaptor (10) is removed from the receptacle (500).
