Publication number: 20060289377Abstract: The present invention relates to a reversible child resistant cap and a closure system having two positions, the first being a child resistant position and the other being a non-child resistant position. The cap is characterized in that it has a closure plane, a circumferential outer skirt for engaging a container, and a circumferential resilient depending inner member.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: TRI STATE DISTRIBUTION, INCInventors: David Miceli, Joseph Miceli

Patent number: 7124904Abstract: A reversible child resistant closure system including a closure and container a container having a neck portion, an engaging means and an axis extending therethrough about which the closure is rotatable. The closure has a child resistant mode when applied to the container in a first child resistant position and has a non-child resistant mode when applied to the container in a second non-child resistant position. The closure includes an outer cap and an inner cap. The inner cap is coaxially positioned and nested within the outer cap and is axially movable between the first child resistant engaging means and the bottom edge of the outer cap such that the plurality of angular abutment surfaces of the inner cap engage the series of angular abutments of the outer cap upon rotation of the outer cap to rotates the inner cap in a closing direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Tri State Distribution, Inc.Inventors: David Miceli, Joseph Miceli

Patent number: 7111746Abstract: A shellable, positively lockable, child resistant closure and container includes a pair of nested inner and outer caps designed to be purposefully shellable for use in its non-child resistant mode. The inner cap is coaxially positioned and nested within the outer cap such that a row of angular abutments of the inner cap engage a row of angular abutments of the outer cap upon rotation of the outer cap in a closing direction, and upon rotation of the outer cap in an opening direction, without a concomitant axial force, the respective angular abutments cam over and past each other to prevent rotation of the inner cap. Additionally, the inner cap contains a positive locking device for engagement with a complementary locking device on the neck of the container.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2004Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Tri State Distribution, Inc.Inventors: David A.

The closure has a child resistant mode when applied to the container in a first child-resistant position and has a non-child resistant mode when applied to the container in a second non-child resistant position. The closure includes an outer cap and an inner cap. The inner cap is coaxially positioned and nested within the outer cap such that a plurality of angular abutment surfaces of the inner cap engage a series of angular abutments of the outer cap upon rotation of the outer cap to rotate the inner cap in a closing direction. However, upon rotation of the outer cap member in an opening direction in the absence of an axial force, the angular abutment surfaces of the inner cap cam over and past the series of angular abutments of the outer cap, preventing rotation of the inner cap.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2003Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Tri State Distribution, Inc.Inventors: David A.

Publication number: 20060027236Abstract: A nasal mask assembly that includes a seal member defined from a unitary piece of elastomeric material. The seal member defines a nose receiving cavity and has a first end portion and a second end portion generally opposite the first end portion. A first opening in the first end portion allows at least a portion of a nose to enter the nose receiving cavity such that the nares of the patient communicate with the nose receiving cavity. The seal member includes a neck portion defined in the second end portion and a second opening defined in the neck portion in communication with the nose receiving cavity. A reinforcement area is provided on the side walls of the seal member. The reinforcement area comprises a saddle shaped contoured area on each side of the seal member. Each saddle shaped area has an upper and a lower protrusion portion for providing supporting contact with the face.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2005Publication date: February 9, 2006Applicant: Respironics, Inc.Inventors: Shari Barnett, Joseph Miceli, Peter Ho, Kristine Sabo

Patent number: 6827672Abstract: An apparatus for assisting a child to walk comprises a handlebar including a first handle having a grip portion. A pair of second handles each have a grip portion substantially coplanar with one another. The second handles are connected to and extend laterally outwardly from the first handle. The first handle and the second handles together define a space disposed laterally inwardly of the second handles sized to accommodate a child's head. A harness includes a loop for surrounding the torso of a child, and a connector for coupling the loop to the handle.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2002Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Inventor: Joseph Miceli

Patent number: 6094803Abstract: A method of making and self-aligning a disk data storage read/write head that uses a catadioptric focusing device (or lens) having a high numerical aperture (NA), which does not introduce significant spot aberration on a storage medium. The manufacturing process of the head is carried out at a wafer level, and is facilitated significantly by the flatness of the focusing device. An exemplary manufacturing process is implemented as follows: A lens coil/plate is formed by molding a flat optical substrate to form the desired lens shapes. Coil cavities or depressions are formed simultaneously with the lens to accommodate a coil. Conductive plugs are formed in proximity to cutting lines for wire bonding attachment to the coil. A slider wafer is formed and bonded to the lens/coil wafer. Coils and pedestals are also formed on the lens/coil plate using thin-film processing techniques, and reflective surfaces are deposited on the bottom surface of the substrate, opposite the lens.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1999Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Read-Rite CorporationInventors: Carl Carlson, Joseph Miceli, Hong Chen, Chuan He, Charles C.
