  • Publication number: 20080183636
    Abstract: An income protection insurance product provides for payment of future benefits that can be customized by amount and/or duration. The benefits are customizable to financially plan for fluctuations in the anticipated expenses of a designated beneficiary that can be attributed to future events, income needs, or the like. The customized benefits are distributed to the designated beneficiary after the death of an insured and/or the occurrence of a secondary triggering event, such as a specified date, admission to an educational institution, age of a designated individual, a major health crisis for a designated individual, or the like. The benefit payments may vary yearly, monthly, or the like. The term can be specified for any duration, such as the lifetime of the designated unchangeable benefit life or a minimum or maximum term. The acquisition cost can be based on a risk profile of the designated unchangeable or changeable benefit life or benefit entity and/or the insured.

  • Patent number: 6557285
    Abstract: A hanging sign support has at least one housing supported by a mounting surface. The housing has an interior portion and a cord opening into the interior portion. A recoil mechanism is arranged to cooperate with the interior portion of each of the housings. A cord is associated with each recoil mechanism and has a distal end that is extendible through the cord opening and away from the respective housing. The distal end is retractable and biased by the recoil mechanism toward the interior of the respective housing. A connecting device is carried on the distal end of each cord for removably coupling the cord to a portion of a sign. Each cord, the distal end of each cord, and each connecting device can be constructed to retract into a portion of the respective housing when not supporting a sign. A spacer can be received over each cord and coupled between the respective housing and a sign supported by the cord to place the sign at a desired distance from the respective housing or the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 5535919
    Abstract: An electromagnetic dispenser for dispensing viscous heated fluids, such as hot melt adhesives. A fixed pole extends from a fluid chamber. The coil is located about a portion of the fixed pole and spaced from the fluid chamber to isolate the coil from the fluid flow path of the adhesive. The coil is insulated from the heat which is conducted from the adhesive as well as provided with a heat sink for dissipating heat. A plunger is mounted within the fluid chamber for reciprocal movement therein to open and close dispensing orifice in response to the field generated by the coil. When mounted to a service block, the coil assembly may be serviced without disconnecting the dispenser body from the source of heated fluid.

  • Patent number: 5405050
    Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing viscous fluids, such as adhesives, sealants, caulks is actuated by an electromagnetic coil assembly (42,136) in conjunction with a magnet (38,126) mounted to a plunger (26,118). Energizing the coil assembly produces an electromagnetic field which cooperates with the magnetic field to cause the plunger to open. Closing results from reversing the electromagnetic field.

  • Patent number: 5375738
    Abstract: An electromagnetic dispenser (10) for dispensing viscous heated fluids, such as hot melt adhesives. A fixed pole (50) extends from a fluid chamber (20). The coil (46) is located about a portion of the fixed pole (50) and spaced from the fluid chamber to isolate the coil from the fluid flow path of the adhesive. The coil is insulated from the heat which is conducted from the adhesive as well as provided with a heat sink (88) for dissipating heat. A plunger (32) is mounted within the fluid chamber for reciprocal movement therein to open and close dispensing orifice in response to the field generated by the coil.

  • Patent number: 5325762
    Abstract: A fluid pressure operated piston engine assembly, such as a pump assembly, including a fluid pressure operated piston engine and a fluid valve for coupling fluid under pressure to alternative portions of the piston chamber of the piston engine. The fluid valve includes a valve spool which is translated to effect the alternative modes of coupling pressurized fluid to the piston chamber. The translation is accomplished by a shifter assembly having a shifter rod attached to the valve spool. The shifter rod includes a pair of diametrically opposed magnets attached thereto. A fork is attached to the piston engine drive shaft at one end and is mounted for limited movement along the shifter rod between the pair of magnets of the shifter rod.

  • Patent number: 5094398
    Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the relative position of two or more material dispensers comprises a first module adapted to connect to a source of material, and a second module which is axially movable with respect to the first module. The first and second modules each mount at least one material dispenser such that a material pasageway formed in each module is connected to a discharge bore formed in each material dispenser. The passageways in the first and second modules, in turn, are interconnected by a pair of pivot arms arranged in a scissors-like configuration which extend between the modules, and are movable between an extended and retracted position in response to movement of the second module, so that each dispenser can be supplied with material from a single supply line.

  • Patent number: 5027976
    Abstract: A multi-orifice T-bar nozzle includes a nozzle body having a mounting plate adapted to connect to the body of a hot melt thermoplastic adhesive dispenser, and an internal adhesive flow path formed by an inlet at the top wall of the nozzle body adapted to receive adhesive from the adhesive dispenser, a number of outlets at the bottom wall thereof which extrude adhesive beads and a distribution passageway interconnecting the inlet and outlets. The nozzle body progressively tapers from the top, center portion thereof to its extremities, i.e., to the end portions and bottom of the nozzle body, so that the temperature differential between the adhesive entering the inlet of the nozzle body, and the adhesive discharged from the outlets, is minimized.

  • Patent number: 4765481
    Abstract: Airline headsets are packaged in a reusable container. The container is affixed to the cord of the headset near the connection which inserts into the plug in the passenger seat arm. The reusable container provides for advertising which underwrites the cost of the head set and the container to an extent that it is less costly to give the passengers the headsets on a complimentary basis than to handle them in the familiar manner.
