Patent number: 8544154Abstract: A clamp assembly selectively grips material. The clamp assembly is connectable to an object, and includes a housing and a gripping assembly. The housing has a first end, a second end, a first portion and a second portion. The first and second portions cooperate to define a material receiving slot. The first portion of the housing has an angular disposed channel and an angular disposed recessed portion. The second portion of the housing has a gripping surface. The gripping assembly is slidably disposed within the channel such that the recessed portion cooperates with the channel to define a travel path so that the gripping assembly can be selectively movable between a biased first position and a second position. In the biased first position, the gripping assembly extends into the material receiving slot. In the second position the gripping assembly is withdrawn from the material receiving slot.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2012Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Get a Grip, Inc.Inventor: John W.

Patent number: 6938665Abstract: A door frame with a substantially continuous sealing surface supports a door with a substantially continuous sealing member mounted thereon. A stepped U-shaped frame member has an opening at one end that is closed with a square-cut member, such as a threshold. The frame, threshold and hinges mounted on the frame provide a substantially continuous sealing surface. The bores of the hinge knuckles may be matched with bushings in the bores, so that the bushings must be properly oriented. The heads of the bushings may have at least two steps or raised contact surfaces and at least two indentations or depressed contact surfaces. When the doors are opened, the steps on their bushings in the pivoting hinge leaves drop into the indentations in the adjacent fixed hinge leaf and hold the door in position.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2001Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Philips Products, IncInventors: John W. Lewis, Jr., W. Michael Jones

Publication number: 20040103587Abstract: An access door is provided which may be easily installed. The door utilizes a mounting tape which is affixed between the door frame and the surface which supports the door as well as acting as a seal. The mounting tape allows installation by a single individual. The door may be further held in position by a minimal number of screws after being attached initially using the mounting tape. A core surround member may also be part of the door. The core surround covers a gap between the door and the door frame from view.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2003Publication date: June 3, 2004Inventors: Dennis V. Fletcher, Thomas W. Kleckner, Nikola S. Hromis, John W. Lewis, Steven D. Saffell, Kenneth T. Waggoner

Patent number: 5158124Abstract: A machine for cutting off the waste end portions of semi-circular or semi-elliptical members used for framing windows. The curved members are held in the desired fixed relationship by clamping members and saw mechanisms are transversely movable adjacent each end to perform the cutting action. When two halves are to be cut simultaneously they are clamped in transversely spaced relationship so the ends are cut during one pass to insure that the two halves will accurately form a full frame assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1991Date of Patent: October 27, 1992Assignee: Aluminum Company of AmericaInventor: John W. Lewis, Jr.

Patent number: 4798508Abstract: The invention is a machine and method for opening a filled bag and emptying the contents of the bag. A bag filled with a solid material is guided into a space between a pair of rotating drums, in which there are several rows of rigid spikes fastened to each drum. The spikes extend through the drum walls and through openings in a belt that connects each drum to an idler roller. When the filled bag enters the space between the drums, it becomes impaled on the spikes, and is drawn into a cutter means. The cutter means slits the bag in half to empty the contents, and each empty bag half is carried on one of the rotating drums to a point where the spikes move away from the belt to release the empty bag half.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1988Date of Patent: January 17, 1989Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventor: John W. Lewis

Patent number: 4702009Abstract: An indicator device is disclosed that is useful for measuring the level of a material stored in a tank. The device includes a stationary tubular section that fastens into the top wall of the tank. One or more tubular sections of smaller diameter are made to slide inside the stationary section to form a telescoping unit. The smallest tubular section has a foot member at its bottom end and a cable fastened to its upper end. The cable passes over a sheave and is wound onto a winch operated by a motor. In operation, the winch lowers the smallest tubular section into the tank until the foot member contacts the material in the tank and compresses the material enough to stop the downward movement of the tubular section. The winch is then reversed to bring the tubular section back to its "up" position. The sheave operates a counting and recording device that records the total distance traveled by the cable, and this distance indicates the level of material in the tank.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1986Date of Patent: October 27, 1987Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Gaylon L. Dighton, John W. Lewis

Patent number: 4661492Abstract: An analgesic composition in parenteral or sublingual unit dosage form comprising an active dose of buprenorphine and an amount of naltrexone sufficient to prove aversive to a narcotic addict by parenteral administration but insufficient to compromise the analgesic action of the buprenorphine.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1985Date of Patent: April 28, 1987Assignee: Reckitt & Colman Products LimitedInventors: John W. Lewis, John G. Lloyd-Jones
