  • Publication number: 20250135542
    Abstract: A molten metal print deposition device includes a reservoir in fluid communication with a deposition head for controlled deposition of a molten metal print medium defined by molten feedstock, and a capillary structure adapted to maintain the molten feedstock from the melt reservoir in a fluidic state for directing and depositing the feedstock onto a substrate. A print medium is defined by an alloy heated to a fluid state in a temperature range defined by but above a liquidus and solidus. A thermal source and control circuit maintain the molten feedstock at a temperature above the liquidus of the print medium during deposition.

  • Patent number: 5014448
    Abstract: A slipper or article of footwear for use subsequent to surgical procedures on the foot in which immobilization is not required. The slipper includes a sole constructed of a semi-rigid material but with sufficient flexibility that a person can still walk in a normal manner. The slipper includes forward flaps which extend upwardly and over the mid-tarsal area with the toes exposed with a rear counter attached to the sole with the area covering the heel and the flaps covering the forefoot being of one-piece construction and provided with a downwardly curved juncture area with straps with hook and loop connections being crossed and connected to the flaps and opposite portions of the counter.

  • Patent number: 4241499
    Abstract: An elongated handle having top and bottom surfaces and defining front and rear end portions. The handle includes top and bottom surfaces and opposite side surfaces as well as a transversely enlarged head on the front end thereof. The head includes a longitudinally convex bowed and generally transversely straight bottom surface portion and a central upstanding opening is formed through the head and opens upwardly through the top surface of the handle and downwardly through the bottom surface portion rearwardly of the front end of the head. A transverse roller is journaled in the opening between the front and rear limits thereof and a cutting blade is supported from the head and defines a rearwardly and downwardly facing straight transverse cutting edge generally flush with the aforementioned undersurface portion and spaced intermediate the roller and the forward extremity of the opening.
