Patent number: 8313519Abstract: A multifunction warming device includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting a convective apparatus disposed to provide therapeutic warming of a patient's upper body during surgery. The warming device includes a clinical garment with an elongate convective apparatus supported on the inside of the garment, transversely to the garment, and running between its sleeves. The positioning of the convective apparatus in the clinical garment locates it against the chest of a patient wearing the garment and permits it to be deployed and used on the patient's upper body during and after surgery without removal of the clinical garment from the patient or removal of the convective apparatus from the clinical garment.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Shad N. Lindrud, Gary R. Maharaj, Carol J. Panser, Mark J. Scott, Teryl L. Woodwick Sides

Patent number: 8177828Abstract: An underbody convective warming blanket includes a duct that is separate from, but in fluid communication with, interior space of the underbody convective warming blanket. The duct may be deployed to provide an air circulation conduit to shunt air around the air distribution structure in the interior space. The duct may be a flexible tube having a first end coupled to a first duct port in the underbody convective warming blanket near a first end of the underbody convective warming blanket and a second end to be coupled to a second duct port in the underbody convective warming blanket near a second end of the underbody convective warming blanket. An underbody convective warming blanket may include a midsection with an elongate columnar configuration which transitions at an end, or at each end, to a plinth-like configuration.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2009Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Andrew J. McGregor, Mark J. Scott

Publication number: 20110066214Abstract: A multifunction warming device for perioperative use includes a clinical garment and two convective warming apparatuses supported on an inside surface of the clinical garment. A first convective apparatus is disposed transversely in an upper portion of the clinical garment, running between sleeves of the clinical garment. The second convective apparatus is disposed longitudinally in a lower portion of the clinical garment and has separately inflatable sections, each for enabling a particular mode of warming.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Anderson, Shad N. Lindrud, Gary R. Maharaj, Carol J. Panser, Mark J. Scott, Teryl L. Woodwick Sides

Patent number: 6848159Abstract: A chopper for chopping continuous items like fiber, fiber strand, yarn, string, wire, tape or ribbon, etc. which enters the chopper in unwound form at a high linear speed is disclosed having improvements and permit the chopper to tilt to change the angle of discharge of the chopped items(s). Also disclosed is a fast acting roll retainer and a chopper having the fast acting roll retainer that permits a backup roll and a blade roll to be removed and replaced in a faster and lesser damaging manner. Methods of chopping and changing rolls on an apparatus using the disclosed apparatus are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2003Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: Johns Manville International, Inc.Inventors: Randall C. Bascom, Jeffrey James Bryant, Gary Lee Dachenhaus, Archie Mead, Mark J. Scott, Randy C. Hyter
