Patent number: 11001488Abstract: A dispensing nozzle assembly is provided including a nozzle member provided with one or more dispensing apertures to allow fluid to be dispensed therefrom in use. Closure means are provided on or associated with the nozzle member and movable relative thereto between a closed position, wherein the closure means closes the dispensing apertures and fluid cannot be dispensed from the dispensing apertures, and an open position, wherein the closure means are moved at least partially clear of the dispensing apertures and fluid can be dispensed through the dispensing apertures in use. Switch means are moveable between an “on” position for allowing fluid to flow into the nozzle member for dispensing through the dispensing apertures in use, and an “off” position for preventing fluid flowing into the nozzle member in use. The switch means are arranged such that movement of the closure means relative to the nozzle member moves or actuates the switch means between the on and off positions in use.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Inventor: Jonathan Bond

Publication number: 20200269506Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for determining a position of a nozzle of a 3D printer are described. In certain implementations, a method for determining a position of a nozzle of a 3D printer is provided. The method includes moving a nozzle assembly relative to a test feature of a calibration object such that a nozzle tip contacts the test feature for a plurality of times. The nozzle assembly includes the nozzle that has the nozzle tip. The method also includes reading positions of the nozzle when the nozzle tip contacts the test feature. The method further includes determining a relative position of an end point of the nozzle relative to a reference point.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2019Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Angus MACMULLEN, Andrew CARLSON, David LAWRENCE, Jonathan Bond

Patent number: 10364858Abstract: A planar flexure member for resisting rotation about a central axis thereof includes, in various embodiments, a central portion comprising a plurality of attachment points; and at least one serpentine flexure arm extending from the central portion in a plane. The arm(s) terminate in an arcuate mounting rail that includes a series of attachment points. The rails are positioned in opposition to each other to partially define and occupy a planar circular envelope radially displaced from but surrounding the central portion of the flexure member. A portion of the serpentine arms may extend to (or substantially to) the envelope between the mounting rails.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: RETHINK ROBOTICS GmbHInventors: Matthew Knoll, Jonathan Bond, Robert White, Umberto Scarfogliero, Andrew Wallace

Publication number: 20130029792Abstract: A lacrosse stick with an elongate tubular handle, a plastic head and an improved connection assembly between the handle and head, the connection assembly including an insert inside the handle and straddling at least two opposing walls, at least one screw threaded through the insert and through the opposing walls of the handle to compress the insert between the walls of said handle. The threaded engagement of the screw through the walls and insert sandwich the latter, maintaining a constant compressive force against the laterally enlarged heads and against the interior walls of the handle. This avoids loosening and/or dislodgement as a result of impact or vibration, and resists the threads of the screw stripping either the walls or the insert as a result of torque or other stress. A unitary sleeve insert, a one-piece straddle post embodiment, and a two-piece post embodiment are herein shown and described.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Inventors: Anthony Abdelmalek, Jonathan Bond
