Publication number: 20250366574Abstract: A watch band that comprises an elastomer body and a nylon member. The elastomer body has a tip at one end and a buckle at the other. The elastomer body comprises adjustment holes. The buckle comprises a buckle tongue which is configured to insert into the adjustment holes. The elastomer body comprises an outside surface and an inside surface, wherein the inside surface is meant to contact the wrist of a user when the user wears the watch band. The nylon member is attached to the elastomer body such that the adjustment holes in the elastomer body are free of nylon. Specifically, the nylon member comprises a nylon webbing inlay that is preferably stitched to the elastomer body. The nylon member works to bestow the elastomer body with high tensile, tear and cracking resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2025Publication date: December 4, 2025Inventor: Michael H. Bertucci

Patent number: 12408736Abstract: An ultra durable leather watch band that sets a new standard in the industry. The watch band has long lasting durability and provides light weight comfort. Specifically, the watch band has a leather upper layer, a nylon lower later, and stitching which effectively mates and secures the layers together to form an integral watch band. Preferably, the top layer is made from high performance top grain water proof leather, and the bottom layer is made of very rugged nylon webbing that adds durability, long life wear, comfort and repels moisture. Preferably, the stitching is both rugged and waterproof. To that end, the stitching may be high performance nylon.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2022Date of Patent: September 9, 2025Assignee: MH BERTUCCI, INC.Inventor: Michael H. Bertucci

Patent number: 11484899Abstract: A fluid dispenser including a body, a chamber coupled to or formed as part of the body and configured to contain a quantity of fluid, and a piston coupled to the body and rotatable within the chamber to different position. The piston is movable relative to the chamber in a first direction along an axis to draw fluid into the chamber, and the piston is movable relative to the chamber in a second direction opposite the first direction to discharge fluid from the chamber. The piston has stroke lengths that are selectable via the different rotational positions of the piston and that are associated with metered quantities of fluid to be drawn into the chamber. An anti-reversal feature is disposed between the piston and the body. The anti-reversal feature inhibits reversal of the piston during movement of the piston in the first direction or the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Garry W. Crossdale, Andrew Swain, Martin Cooper, Michael H. Bertucci, Barry Hague, Guy Thornhill

Patent number: 10576486Abstract: A fluid dispenser for containing and dispensing metered amounts of fluid that includes a reservoir for containing fluid and a chamber positioned substantially within the reservoir for containing a quantity of the fluid. The fluid dispenser additionally includes a piston that is moveable within the chamber to draw fluid into the chamber when the piston is moved in a first direction with respect to the chamber, and to discharge fluid from the chamber when the piston is moved in a second direction opposite the first direction. Further, the fluid dispenser includes a user-manipulatable control coupled to the piston and rotatable about an axis to select one of at least two different metered quantities of fluid to be dispensed. The user-manipulatable control is further movable to move the piston relative to the chamber along the axis to selectively dispense the selected metered quantity of fluid.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Garry W. Crossdale, Andrew Swain, Martin Cooper, Michael H. Bertucci, Barry Hague, Guy Thornhill

Patent number: 10452082Abstract: A fluid dispenser and method of operating the same. The fluid dispenser can include a wheel driven by diluent passing along a flow path in the fluid dispenser. The wheel can be connected to a pump to pump fluid from a reservoir for dispense into the diluent. In some embodiments, the ratio of wheel rotations to pump cycles is selected to provide a desired and repeatable dilution ratio of concentrated fluid to diluent. The fluid dispenser can be portable and/or disposable, and in some embodiments is adapted for installation on an upper rim of a reservoir wall. Also, the fluid dispenser can be provided with a baffle limiting the velocity and impact of incoming diluent to the wheel driving the pump, thereby improving dosing accuracy of the dispenser in some embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Michael H. Bertucci, Christopher F. Lang, Susan K. Lewis, Justin M. Nunez, Timothy S. Jones, Steven E. Schiller, Wayne Phillips
