Patent number: 9897821Abstract: Protective eyewear including a primary frame is joined with first and second separate and independent protective elements that can move relative to one another. The frame can be constructed from polymeric material, and can include a central portion and opposing left and right side portions that extend rearward to attachment elements and subsequently a strap. The protective elements can be in the form of metal cages, each including a perimeter element that generally surrounds a user's eye and a transverse element that reinforces the perimeter element. The protective elements are primarily only connected via the frame and can move relative to one another, optionally about a flex element defined by the frame. This can enable the eyewear to readily conform to a variety of different facial contours thereby meeting the demand of different players having different facial structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2015Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Warrior Sports, Inc.Inventors: Richard J. Janisse, Jessica L. Hanson, James H. Lua, Sherry L. Jones, Kevin J. Vititoe

Patent number: 8574253Abstract: A method and device for tissue removal. The device may be used to remove uterine fibroids and other abnormal gynecological tissue. According to one embodiment, the device includes a housing, an outer tube, and an inner tube. The outer tube is fixed to the housing and includes a side window proximate to its distal end. The side window may have sloped proximal and distal ends. The inner tube has a distal end positioned within the outer tube, the distal end being adapted to rotate and, at the same time, to move back and forth past the side window, with the rotational and translational movement of the inner tube being independently controllable. The distal end of the inner tube may have an external bevel. Suction is applied to the proximal end of the inner tube to draw tissue into the side window and to remove resected tissue through the inner tube.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Hologic, Inc.Inventors: William Harwick Gruber, Ronald David Adams, Albert Chun-Chi Chin, Eric Karl Litscher, Roy Hewitt Sullivan, Paul DiCesare, Jeffrey Radziunas, Daniel Vigliotti, Bryan Dale Knodel, Chris Scott Daniels, Kevin J.

Patent number: 8245320Abstract: An eye shield attachment can be used in combination with a safety helmet. This helmet has a front brim continuous with a rim extending along each opposite side of the safety helmet to a pair of rim slots in the helmet's rim. The attachment has a pair of frames that can removably attach to the pair of rim slots in the helmet. The frames each have a fastening member that is lockable onto a corresponding one of the rim slots and adjustable to accommodate various depths in the rim slots. A support structure attached to the pair of frames extends along the rim toward the front brim. A front lens and corrective glasses may be attached to the support structure. A pliable bead may be attached to the front of the support structure and extend rearwardly to engage a wearer's forehead.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2008Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Inventors: Jack Provost, Dennis Jenkins, Brian Jenkins, Jeffrey R.
