Patent number: 12576423Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing materials includes a dispenser body, a driving rod movable relative to the dispenser body and into the receptacle, a trigger lever having an actuation member for displacing the driving rod upon rotation of the trigger lever around a rotation axis, and a pivot member that rotatably connects the trigger lever to the dispenser body and defines the rotation axis. The pivot member is movably connected to the trigger lever such that a lever distance between the rotation axis and the actuation member changes upon movement of the pivot member relative to the trigger lever. The dispenser includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a mechanical advantage of the trigger lever by changing the lever distance and to adjustably fix the lever distance to at least a minimum distance and a maximum distance.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: medmix Switzerland AGInventors: Mark Tinkler, Matt Lyndon, Michael Mann

Patent number: 8970152Abstract: An exemplary power supply assembly includes a drive device having a bus capacitor. A switch associated with an input side of the drive device selectively connects the drive device to a power supply. An inductor has an impedance that limits an amount of current supplied to the bus capacitor during an initial charging of the bus capacitor when the switch connects the input side of the drive device to the power supply. A restrictive circuit portion dampens a resonance effect of the inductor. The restrictive circuit portion has a resistance that allows the bus capacitor to charge quickly. The impedance of the inductor has a more significant effect on how quickly the bus capacitor charges than an effect of the resistance. A dampening factor of the restrictive circuit controls a voltage of the bus capacitor during the charging of the bus capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Daryl J.
