Patent number: 8613572Abstract: A chemical anchoring assembly useful for fast application of a driving tool into a borehole includes an elongated tube having a first end and a second end, a quantity of chemical anchoring material within the elongated tube, and a vent at the second end of the elongated tube. As an anchor pin is driven through the elongated tube and into the borehole, forcing the chemical anchoring material into the borehole, some of the pressure caused by compression of the chemical anchoring material is released into the vent, allowing easier driving of the anchor pin.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2011Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: William Dubon, Robert L. Turck, Owen J. McGarel, Andrew J. Rourke, Deepak H. Mehta, Jeffrey M. Stupar, Stanley J. Cabaj, Robert G. Kobetsky, John R. Wolfe

Publication number: 20040051189Abstract: An over-molded fitment is configured for mounting to a flexible packaging material. The fitment includes a flange having first and second sides, a spout extending upwardly from the first side of the flange and an over-molded sealing media molded onto the first side of the flange. The flange and spout are integral with one another and formed from a single first material. The over-molded sealing media is formed from a second material different from the first material and having a density less than a density of the first material. The sealing media permits joining the different materials of the flexible packaging and the fitment that would otherwise not seal to one another. A method for forming the over-molded fitment and a package formed with the fitment are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2003Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Terrence P.

Patent number: 6203208Abstract: A fiber optic cable connector coupling medium disposable in an axial bore of a connector sleeve member for coupling a fiber optic cable end portion to a light transmitting conductor member. The coupling medium has a resilient generally disk shaped portion having first and second convex end portions engageable with a corresponding one of the fiber optic cable end portion and conductor member in the axial bore of a sleeve member. The coupling medium has good optical clarity, low hardness and tackiness to provide an improved light transmission coupling. The coupling medium is also relatively thin and has substantially the same refractive index as a fiber optic cable end portion and a conductor member between which the coupling medium is disposed.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey M.

Patent number: 6179480Abstract: A fiber optic lighting system connector for coupling a fiber optic cable to another fiber optic cable, or a light source, or a light fixture. The connector includes a sleeve member having a plurality of resilient fingers and an axial bore for receiving a fiber optic cable end portion. A cap is non-threadably coupled to the sleeve member and movable axially about the resilient fingers between first and second positions to constrict the resilient fingers about a fiber optic cable end portion or conductor member for axial retention thereof in the axial bore. The resilient fingers preferably include first and second recesses in corresponding side portions thereof, and a tooth disposed between and offset from the first and second recesses.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1999Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Joseph J.

Patent number: 6129012Abstract: The doctor portion of the ink cup of a pad printing machine is formed of a polymeric composite which has high compressive strength and high resistance to chemicals, notably to printing inks. The polymeric doctoring portion is tapered and defines a narrow distal end surface which circumscribes the open end of the cup for doctoring engagement with an opposed plastic gravure surface. The doctoring portion may be a separate ring element suitably mounted at the open end of the cup body or it may be a unitary part of the cup.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1999Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Volker Dietz, Glenn Poyer, Jeffrey M.

Patent number: 5492219Abstract: A plural compartment package for housing and storing at least two different materials which are to be mixed together so as to form a compound mixture at the time of use comprises first, second, and third sheets of film material with the third sheet of film interposed between the first and second sheets of film. The three sheets of film material have substantially the same length and width dimensions and are peripherally sealed to each other such that the peripheral seal of the package comprises a three-layer laminate. In addition, the third intermediate sheet of film is secured at a mid-point thereof to one of the first and second sheets of film such that three compartments are formed within the package. The third sheet of film material is provided with easily rupturable perforations so as to facilitate discharge of one material from one compartment into another compartment for mixture with the second material, rupture occurring as a result of pressure applied to the package.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1994Date of Patent: February 20, 1996Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey M.

Patent number: 5433387Abstract: A rotary atomizer includes an inside surface onto which a coating material is deposited, an opposite outside surface and a discharge zone adjacent the rotary atomizer's inside and outside surfaces, coating material being discharged from the discharge zone. A housing substantially surrounds and houses the rotary atomizer except for a region of the rotary atomizer adjacent and including the discharge zone. The housing includes an inside surface, an outside surface and an opening adjacent the inside and outside surfaces of the housing. The inside surface of the housing and the outside surface of the rotary atomizer are treated so as to render them electrically non-insulative. An electrostatic potential difference maintained across the electrically non-insulative inside surface of the housing and an article to be coated by material atomized by the rotary atomizer causes charge to be transferred from the electrically non-insulative inside surface of the housing to the outside surface of the atomizer.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1992Date of Patent: July 18, 1995Assignee: Ransburg CorporationInventors: Varce E. Howe, David R. Huff, James A. Scharfenberger, Jeffrey M. Stupar
