  • Patent number: 8789252
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying staple belt fasteners to conveyor belts are provided that allow staple belt fasteners to be installed on an end of the belt with the use of a single applicator tool and such that all of the staples of the fasteners in the tool are first initially set and then are finally set. In one form, the apparatus has a base with an anvil mounted thereto with the anvil having both initial and final set portions. The belt fastener applicator tool provides for relative shifting of the anvil and a guide device having through openings to align either the initial or final set portions of the anvil with the guide device through openings. The guide device through openings are preferably configured to receive a staple drive member therein.

  • Publication number: 20130270339
    Abstract: A system for labeling a patient specimen tube with identification information that includes a labeling device. The labeling device includes scanning and printing units electronically connected to a microcomputer. The scanning unit is configured to electronically read machine readable information provided on a patient identification article carried by the patient. The printing unit includes a print head. The microcomputer is programmed to receive information obtained by the scanning unit, interface with a database to correlate the received information with patient label information, format the patient label information, and prompt the printing unit to print the patient label information onto the specimen tube. In some embodiments, the database is maintained by a network server, with the labeling device electronically interfacing with the network server.
