Patent number: 11781713Abstract: A mobile storage apparatus for containers is provided. The apparatus provides a unique support assembly for holding a container. The assembly includes a latch mechanism that allows a clamp of cylinder to be moved from a closed position to an open position which creates clearance around a neck of cylinder to allow it to rotate without falling out of clamp. The other end of apparatus is structurally configured with a release plunger that can be retracted to allow rotation of cylinder along said other end. Rotatable wheels on a user side with a braking mechanism along a handle and a foot ledge allow improved maneuverability and stability.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Praxair Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mayank Pareek, Ashwini K Sinha, Stanley M Smith, Ranko Bursac, Amber L Boll, Merry Riehm-Constantino, Amy Beth Hangen, Fred A.

Patent number: 11471363Abstract: A position-adjustable accessory handle device helps a user maneuver a rollator. The handle device provides an arced handle bar that detachably fastens to a rollator handle, serving as an extension. An adjustment bracket fits between handle bar and rollator handle, allowing the handle bar to adjustably articulate in height and angle, relative to the rollator handle. The handle bar has a short proximal section and a long distal section. An arced bridge extends therebetween. The bridge orients the proximal section towards the user, and allows for fastening to different rollators. The proximal section of handle bar has a grip member for gripping. Fastening holes form in the distal section of handle bar. An adjustment bracket fits between handle bar and rollator handle. This creates frictionless pivoting articulation of the handle bar; and to enable the handle bar to be fixedly oriented at a set angle relative to rollator handle.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Inventors: Tivadar A. Semesnyei, Merry Riehm-Constantino, Alexander T. Reding

Patent number: 10596384Abstract: A method and system for bone regeneration is provided that includes an electrical stimulation system for the purpose of accelerating the process of bone healing. The electrical stimulation system includes a coil and a capacitor such that when the coil is powered a pulsed electromagnetic field is generated to accelerate healing. There are also implantable medical devices that include inserts such as an elbow insert. The elbow insert includes or is formed with a repeater coil and a device capacitor, such that when the coil is powered the device coil is powered and delivers a repeater pulsed electromagnetic filed to the surrounding bone. This inductive coupling provides for treatment by both the coil and the repeater coil to accelerate bone healing. The insert may be embodied so it can be used in connection with a plurality of different implantable medical devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Garwood Medical Devices, LLCInventors: Gregg Gellman, Brian Peterson, Merry Riehm-Constantino, John Fournier, Edward Furlani, Amy Hangen
