Publication number: 20160235136Abstract: A surgical mask provides a wide range of wearers with a good fit and improved comfort, facilitates proper use of the mask, and reduces or eliminates fogging of eyewear, as compared with typical masks. The mask may include a pair of ties that are joined to the upper, central, and lower parts of either side of the body of the mask with the assistance of restraint members. The mask may also include a sealing member that reduces or eliminates gaps between the wearer's face and the upper part of the mask by forming a seal between the wearer's face and the mask in use. In addition, the mask may include a barrier panel that reduces or prevents the wearer's breath from escaping through the mask and rising to the wearer's eyewear.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2015Publication date: August 18, 2016Applicant: ALLEGIANCE CORPORATIONInventors: JOSEPH A.

Patent number: 8240332Abstract: A fuel supply system including a filter removably securable within a filter housing mounted within a fuel tank and a pump removably securable within a pump housing mounted within the fuel tank and interconnected by a pipe. The filter housing includes an inner housing rotatably mounted within an outer housing. Alignable inlet openings and outlet passageways are formed in the inner and outer housings. A removable plug for closing an access opening to the inner housing includes lugs for engaging mating recesses in the inner housing such that rotation of the plug rotates the inner housing relative to the outer housing for rotating the inner housing between an aligned and misaligned orientation relative to the outer housing to control the flow of fluid through the filter housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2009Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Aeromotive, Inc.Inventors: Steven M.
