Abstract: The present disclosure may relate to an adjustable support for a glove. The adjustable support may include a shape retaining member, a base, and a height-adjustment mechanism coupled to the shape retaining member and the base. The height-adjustment mechanism may allow a height between the shape retaining member and the base to be adjusted. The adjustable support may also include a locking member coupled to the height-adjustment mechanism that is movable between a locked position in which the height-adjustment mechanism is locked and an unlocked position in which the height adjustment mechanism is unlocked. The present disclosure may also relate to associated apparatuses and methods.

Abstract: A film supply apparatus supplying film in a foam-in-bag system having a film feeding device for feeding film from a film source to a location for bag formation, a bag forming apparatus, a foam material dispenser positioned for feeding foam material for reception in a bag of the bag forming apparatus, and a web tensioning system with a web tensioning driver in driving communication with the film source and which is in communication with a controller for monitoring the film feed and web tension states and directing adjustments in the web tension system. The web tensioning driver is arranged to move film backwards or in a direction opposite to a direction of film feed induced by the film feeding means and with the film source including a roll of film and the web tensioning system including a drive transmission in communication with the roll of film for rotational driving of the roll of film and also in communication with web tensioning driver.

Abstract: A foam-in-bag dispending system is featured with a dispenser with chemical output port, a film feed assembly which feeds film to the dispenser for receiving chemical output from the dispenser. The film feed assembly includes a film drive roller set which includes a first roller and a second roller rotating on non-coincident axes, an a support structure which supports the film drive roller set. The support structure includes a first frame structure and a second frame structure with the first frame structure supporting the first roller and being adjustable relative to the second frame structure so as to move said fist roller away from said second roller.

Abstract: An end sealer shifting assembly, comprising a transmission, a push rod assembly which is driven by the transmission, and end seal compression jaw in driving engagement with the push rod assembly, and a compliance assembly for jaw compliance with a contact member (e.g., a heater wire cutter cross cut jaw) when the jaw is driven into a compression relationship with the contact member. The compliance device preferably includes springs and the transmission assembly preferably includes a cam device with a second spring working to retain a contact relationship and work together with the compliance spring. A method of assembling such a device and operating such a device is also featured.

Abstract: A processor driven syringe pump for one or more, typically two syringes, which are held vertically in corresponding pumping stations of a housing unit which itself is typically suspended from an IV pole. The pump features a central display having portions corresponding to each of the syringes operated by the pump. A data entry knob cooperative with a display processor, causes a cursor issue on the display to step through and choose the menu selections. A function knob is operative to select five operating states including: Purge, Setup, Stop, Run and Bolus in a virtual or software driven manner. The syringe holding station includes a pusher assembly having plunger clamp assembly and a load cell to measure force exerted on the plunger flange. An actuation pad and associated linkage provides for easy syringe flange capturing, while a syringe barrel clamp provides for easy syringe loading and secure syringe barrel positioning for many sizes of syringe.

Abstract: A rail system is used for supporting a plurality of upper and lower modular wall panels adjacent a plurality of spaced apart studs. In one aspect of the invention, the rail system includes an upper rail mounted horizontally to the studs adjacent a ceiling, a lower rail mounted horizontally to the studs adjacent an abutting surface such as a floor, bathtub, or shower pan, and a middle rail mounted horizontally to the studs between the lower and upper rails. Each rail is mountable to the studs regardless of the distance therebetween. The upper rail is adapted to receive an upper portion of the upper wall panels, the lower rail is adapted to receive a lower portion of the lower wall panels, and the middle rail is adapted to receive the upper and lower panels. In another aspect of the invention, an elongated bar is spaced apart from the middle rail and adapted to be mounted longitudinally thereto.

Abstract: A computer monitor is provided with a chassis including a base, a rear support fixed to the base and extending vertically upwardly therefrom, and a front support connected to a cathode-ray tube. The front support and the cathode-ray tube are mounted above the base and spaced apart therefrom for pivotal movement of the front support and cathode-ray tube relative to the base and rear support about a pivot axis disposed at the upper front portion of the monitor. The monitor can be releasably maintained in any one of a plurality of angular positions. The monitor housing comprises a first section surrounding the base and rear support and a second section completely detached from the first section and surrounding the front support.
