Patent number: 11498251Abstract: A method of injection molding uses different mold inserts, such as lead frames, to selectively control material flow in order to produce different parts in a common mold. One mold insert can have a different geometry than another mold insert so that molten material is either blocked or allowed to flow through corresponding portions of the mold inserts. By changing out the insert used for injection molding, insert-molded plastic parts produced in the mold can differ by at least one part feature.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Innotec, Corp.Inventors: Jonathan R. DeYoung, Thomas J. Veenstra, Jason S. Elzinga

Publication number: 20200363053Abstract: An illumination assembly including a light pipe and a light supply for use in illuminating shelf dividers on a shelf. The light pipe includes a first end portion including a light inlet, a second end portion including a light outlet, and a body portion extending between the first and second end portions. The light supply directs light into the light inlet, whereby at least a portion of the light subsequently exits the light pipe through the light outlet. When the first end portion is positioned adjacent a rear edge of the shelf, the body portion extends from the rear edge to a front edge of the shelf. The light pipe is configured to transmit at least a portion of the light emitted by the light supply from the light inlet to the light outlet to illuminate an area adjacent the shelf front edge.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventors: Nathan S.

Patent number: 7993150Abstract: A power distribution assembly (PDA) is provided with a support rail having a bendable grounding arm. This grounding arm extends from at least one axial end of the metal support rail and is bendable downwardly so as to overlie an end face of a power block on the PDA. The grounding arm includes a connector flange that projects inwardly through an access window formed in the power block, which connector flange is tight-fittingly engaged with an internal ground terminal upon insertion of the connector flange into the access window during downward bending of the grounding arm.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2010Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignees: Haworth, Inc., Innotec CorporationInventors: Derek Crow, Dave Emery, Steve King, Duane Danz, Jonathan R.

Patent number: 7955106Abstract: A modular power distribution system includes power distribution assemblies and flex connectors. The flex connector includes end connector housings and a flexible jacket that encloses conductor wires extending between the connectors. The jacket is formed from superimposed layers of sheet-like jacket material that is flexible. The bottom jacket layer is first laid on a bottom housing section wherein conductors are then placed thereupon with an upper jacket layer then positioned over the bottom jacket layer. The top and bottom jacket layers have aligned free edges along at least one side thereof wherein the free edges are bonded together such as by heat sealing.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2010Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Haworth, Inc.Inventors: Derek Crow, Dave Emery, Steve King, Duane Danz, Jonathan R.

Patent number: 7776948Abstract: A composite material comprises a particulate material generated as a waste by-product of an industrial process, and a binder for binding the particulate material into a uniform mass. The particulate material and binder are combined in preselected proportions and compressed to form a counterweight having a preselected density and a fixed configuration. A counterweight is manufactured by selecting a first proportion of a particulate material generated as a waste by-product of an industrial process, selecting a second proportion of a binder for binding the particulate material into a uniform mass, combining the first proportion of the particulate material with the second proportion of the binder into a uniform mass, forming the counterweight from the uniform mass, and incorporating the counterweight into a finished product.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: InnotecInventors: Lucas B. DeVito, Jonathan R. DeYoung, Mark R. Smith, Nathan L. Wood, Jim R. Cuatt, Robert C. Koning, William K. McAfee, II, Michael L. Lanser
